• Collaborate on technical direction while mentoring teammates in a supportive, knowledge-sharing culture.

• Bring ideas from concept to delivery and see how your work makes a meaningful impact in the world of trucking.

• Partner with cross-functional teams that value curiosity, creativity, and continuous improvement.

• Integrate and utilize AI tools across planning, implementation, and verification to accelerate delivery while raising quality standards.

The Tools We Use

• Backend: NodeJS, NestJS, Typescript

• Frontend: React, Redux, Websockets

• Database: PostgreSQL, Redis, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch

• Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Github actions

What Will Help You Succeed

• A collaborative and curious mindset, with a hands-on approach to solving problems.

• Genuine care for your craft and the people who use your work.

• 5+ years (or equivalent experience) developing reliable, production-ready software.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer or Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

• Interest in mentoring and supporting others—helping teammates grow while continuing to grow yourself.

• Proficiency with AI-assisted coding tools (Claude, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf) and enthusiasm to continue learning.

• Experience with agile project management tools (JIRA, Asana, Linear, or equivalent).

• Proficiency with Git and a strong understanding of version control best practices.

Don’t sweat it if you don’t have everything listed above. We believe in growth and curiosity. If you have some of these qualities and are excited about this opportunity, then we want to hear from you!
