About the Role
This is a senior individual contributor role on a small integrations team, building the backend services and data-heavy distributed systems behind a cold-chain risk-management platform used by pharma and perishables shippers worldwide. You will own end-to-end partner data flows, from multi-vendor IoT ingestion and normalization through warehousing, observability, and on-call support, with direct impact on shipment reliability and product loss prevention.
What You'll Do
-
Design and build backend services that contextualize IoT monitoring data and quantify shipment risk in real time.
-
Own external partner-facing operational data integrations across APIs, webhooks, queues, carrier feeds, sensors, and vendor systems.
-
Build predictive systems for on-time, in-full (OTIF) outcomes and automate exception-handling workflows.
-
Maintain production ownership of partner data pipelines, including normalization, warehousing, observability, and on-call response.
-
Contribute to event-driven architectures using messaging systems such as Kafka or RabbitMQ.
-
Deploy and operate containerized services on cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) using Docker and Kubernetes.
-
Collaborate closely with leadership and cross-functional teammates, shipping high-leverage work at startup pace.
What We're Looking For
-
5 or more years of backend engineering experience building scalable, data-intensive distributed systems.
-
Hands-on proficiency in Python and TypeScript/Node.js; strong SQL and relational data modeling skills.
-
Primary experience owning external partner-facing operational data integrations (not internal-only, DevOps, ETL-only, or general full-stack work).
-
Experience with IoT data ingestion, processing, and contextualization.
-
Solid grasp of API design and development (REST and/or gRPC).
-
Experience with event-driven architectures and messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar).
-
Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes, and deploying services on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
-
Strong software engineering practices: testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and observability.
-
Ability to operate independently as a senior IC on a lean team.
-
Domain knowledge in logistics, cold chain, supply chain, or IoT is a strong plus.
-
Experience with NoSQL databases, ETL pipelines, or data security and privacy considerations in regulated industries is a plus.
-
Prior experience at a growth-stage startup is a plus.
