• Design, build, and maintain scalable microservices and APIs supporting high-throughput, low-latency supply chain and platform systems
• Architect cloud-native solutions on AWS using containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes
• Develop and optimize data systems using relational and NoSQL databases, including PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis
• Build event-driven architectures, messaging systems, and RESTful APIs to support distributed platform integration
• Leverage AI-powered development tools to improve coding velocity, testing, monitoring, and overall software quality
• Establish engineering standards for coding, testing, documentation, and system reliability across the team
• Lead code reviews and promote best practices in software design, architecture, and performance optimization
• Contribute to CI/CD pipeline design and collaborate with DevOps teams to improve deployment velocity and stability
• Provide technical leadership in system design, architectural decisions, and production readiness
• Own system reliability in production, including monitoring, incident response, and root-cause resolution
• Act as a technical escalation point for complex platform issues and cross-team engineering challenges
• Mentor and coach engineers, supporting their technical growth and adherence to engineering best practices
• Collaborate with product, data, and customer-facing teams to translate requirements into scalable technical solutions

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience

• Strong experience with AWS cloud infrastructure and distributed systems design
• Hands-on experience with both streaming and batch data processing systems
• Experience working with relational and/or NoSQL databases in production environments
• Demonstrated ability to use AI development tools (e.g., code generation, AI testing, or optimization tools) to improve engineering output
• Experience mentoring engineers and contributing to team-wide engineering standards and practices
• Strong technical communication skills with ability to document and present complex systems clearly
• Preferred: experience in logistics, supply chain, or B2B SaaS environments

Benefits:

• Fully remote work environment across eligible U.S. states
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance (including dependent coverage support)
