Why we're hiring
Our platform has grown quickly—from a single monolith to a constellation of services moving millions of dollars of freight every day. We’re midway through an ambitious migration toward an event‑driven, microservice architecture powered by Golang, GCP, and a cutting‑edge LLM stack. To keep pace with customer demand, we’re hiring senior engineers who can own problems end‑to‑end — from whiteboard to production —and who see AI as an accelerant rather than a novelty.
The impact you'll make
Design, build, and operate cloud‑native services and UIs that are used daily by shippers, carriers, and drivers.
Break down a legacy codebase into loosely‑coupled, event‑driven micro‑frontends and microservices without disrupting live operations.
Embed AI/LLMs (Vertex AI, open‑source models, agentic tools) to automate decision‑making and super‑charge developer productivity.
Champion engineering excellence by introducing robust testing strategies, CI/CD automation, performance monitoring, and security best practices.
Mentor and lead cross‑functional squads, instilling a culture of ownership, radical candor, and continuous learning.
