📋 Description

• Design, build, and operate the backend services powering Super Dispatch's platform for carriers and shippers in the U.S. vehicle transportation industry • Own multiple backend services end-to-end — architecture, REST APIs, databases • Own third-party API integrations — implementation, cost control, rate-limiting, and ongoing maintenance • Contribute to backend technical standards and best practices • Own observability tooling — dashboards, alerting, and SLA tracking for services • Participate in the backend on-call rotation as first responder for production incidents • Lead the QA partnership on test strategy • Translate product requirements into technical specs and own technical scope • Collect Support feedback and iterate on API usability and documentation • Collaborate with Design and Frontend on API contracts and payloads

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of professional backend experience (10+ preferred), including time at a senior or staff level in a product-driven environment • Proficient in Python with strong experience in Django and/or FastAPI • Strong with concurrent and asynchronous Python (asyncio for in-process concurrency; Celery or similar task queues for distributed background work) • Worked on offline-first or unreliable-network sync, including optimistic updates, queue-and-replay, and conflict resolution • AI coding assistants are a daily part of your workflow (scaffolding, refactoring, exploring unfamiliar code, drafting tests and docs) • Hands-on experience with SQL databases like PostgreSQL (schema design, query optimization) • Worked with at least one message broker or streaming platform (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ) and understand delivery semantics (ordering, idempotency, retries) • Solid understanding of system design and microservices • Write automated tests as a matter of course — unit, integration, and end-to-end (e.g., pytest, tox, Playwright) • Worked in an Agile and/or Scrum environment • Comfortable with CI/CD pipelines and trunk-based development • Experience building and maintaining REST APIs, working with WebSockets, and handling networking • Hands-on observability experience (monitoring, logging, alerting) and understand SLAs and on-call readiness • Present technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders in business terms.
