Freight brokerage runs on matching, pricing, and trust between brokers and carriers, and most of that infrastructure is still held together by aging systems and manual workflows. This team is building the tools that make brokers faster and more reliable: better match rates, cleaner integrations between their platform and broker TMSs, automated payment flows, and real-time communication channels. It's a high-ownership, low-process environment where engineers own architecture and code end to end.

This is a hands-on technical lead role. You'll drive design and delivery on product features, not manage people.

What you'll be doing:

Writing, testing, and deploying production-quality code, and setting the bar for code review and documentation standards on the team

Building message-driven workflows with Kafka or RabbitMQ and reusable integration components between the platform and broker TMSs

Leading projects end to end: planning, design, development, deployment, and maintenance

Owning technical and cross-team dependencies so nothing gets dropped between teams

Partnering with product and business stakeholders to clarify requirements in a complex domain

Mentoring junior engineers and keeping codebase standards high as the team scales

What we're looking for:

5+ years of professional software engineering experience

Strong proficiency with TypeScript and Node.js, including API design, performance tuning, and debugging in production

Familiarity with React on the frontend

Solid datastore skills (SQL strongly preferred, NoSQL a plus): schema design, migrations, and query performance

Hands-on experience with message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and cloud-native deployments (Docker/Kubernetes on AWS, Azure, or GCP)

Distributed systems fundamentals: consistency tradeoffs, failure modes, timeouts, retries, and graceful degradation

Production operational competence: observability, incident response, root-cause analysis, and on-call readiness

Ability to own architecture and code in a high-ownership, low-process environment

Bachelor's in CS, CE, or equivalent experience

Bonus points for microservices experience in production (service boundaries, versioning, reliability), GraphQL or strong REST and contract discipline, CI/CD fluency (automated builds, safe deploys, rollbacks, feature flags), and a background in transportation, logistics, or complex B2B integrations

Must be authorized to work in the US. No visa sponsorship.
