Responsibilities
- Own the Solution: Take broad, high-level product requirements and turn them into production-ready features. Be responsible for the full lifecycle of your code—from schema design to slick, intuitive frontend experiences.
- Build Resilient Core Infrastructure: Architect and develop critical modules that coordinate international shipping routes, customs data, and real-time package tracking. Design workflows to be highly fault-tolerant and resilient to external network errors.
- Deep Integration Work: Build and maintain heavy-duty API integrations with enterprise OMS, WMS, and TMS platforms. Implement robust retry strategies, idempotency keys, and dead-letter queues to handle the chaotic nature of physical-world data synchronization.
- Drive Asynchronous Momentum: Work seamlessly across a globally distributed team (USA, Canada, EU, UK, China). Write clear documentation, communicate proactively in public channels, and make meaningful progress without needing real-time meetings.
- Maintain High Engineering Standards: Participate in rigorous asynchronous code reviews. Help maintain elite DORA metrics by ensuring code is modular, heavily tested, and highly observable to keep Change Failure Rate low.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional full-stack experience (TypeScript / Node.js / React), ideally in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment.
- Entirely comfortable with ambiguity, able to unblock yourself, take extreme pride in ownership, and demonstrate a clear mindset for owning the solution from conception to deployment.
- Power user of modern AI development tools (e.g., Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code) and treat them as an extension of your own capability. Leverage AI throughout the entire lifecycle—including discovery, architectural setup, and complex solution design.
- Bring a 'product owner' mindset to AI usage: detail-oriented, maintain a big-picture view, and know how to direct AI to solve business-critical problems, while always maintaining a sharp human eye to catch hallucinations or architectural drift.
- Proven track record building cloud-native, event-driven architectures. Deep experience designing fault-tolerant systems and know how to handle race conditions, eventual consistency, split-brain scenarios, and flaky third-party APIs.
- Understand when to use a relational database (PostgreSQL), when to leverage NoSQL/document stores (Firestore), and how to work alongside real-time analytical engines (ClickHouse) or deep data warehouses (BigQuery).
- Go deep into the stack to understand why something breaks, obsess over edge cases, and think about how your code behaves at scale.
- Proven experience working effectively in a globally distributed, asynchronous environment. Excel at written communication, keep projects moving across time zones, and naturally serve as a collaborative team player.
- Proactively assist others without being prompted, identifying opportunities to support the team’s success, and always prioritize shared wins over individual recognition.
Nice to Have
- Deep experience with the GCP / Firebase ecosystem (especially Firestore and Data Connect at scale).
- Direct experience building systems in Logistics, Supply Chain, FinTech, or E-commerce verticals.
- Previous experience integrating with enterprise e-commerce platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce) or global shipping/carrier APIs.
Benefits
- Competitive salary + meaningful equity package.
- Flexible, remote-first, and asynchronous-friendly work environment across multiple time zones.
- The chance to solve massive, tangible global trade problems alongside a highly focused, elite engineering team.
