Role Overview

We are seeking a Fullstack Software Engineer who prioritizes system reliability and product impact over specific framework loyalty. We value engineers who operate with a high degree of autonomy, technical pragmatism, and a commitment to operational excellence.

We hire for core engineering principles rather than a checklist of libraries. We are specifically looking for candidates who demonstrate:

• Taking Ownership: You take full responsibility for the lifecycle of your code. In the event of a production incident, your first instinct is to stabilize the system, followed by a rigorous root-cause analysis and the implementation of long-term preventative measures.
• Showing Pragmatism: You possess the judgment to balance architectural purity with commercial objectives. You can effectively navigate technical debt, knowing when to ship an MVP to meet a mission deadline and how to plan for subsequent refactoring.
• Navigating Ambiguity: You are comfortable translating high-level product goals into technical requirements. You do not require exhaustive documentation to begin; instead, you proactively collaborate with stakeholders to define scope and build iterative prototypes.

Key Responsibilities

• Feature Implementation: Design and implement reliable, scalable services that support real-time fleet operations. You are responsible for delivering well-tested, high-quality features from the database to the user interface.
• Data Integration: Build and maintain the ingestion and visualization pipelines for high-frequency data streams, ensuring telemetry from MQTT and WebSockets is accurately and efficiently reflected in the UI.
• Operational Support: Contribute to the enhancement of platform security and observability. You proactively monitor system performance and participate in the full lifecycle of incident response and resolution.
• Collaborative Development: Participate in a high-standard engineering culture through active participation in code reviews, technical discussions, and documentation. You work to improve your own craft while contributing to the team’s collective goals.
• Execution Excellence: Translate technical requirements into functional software with a focus on pragmatism. You navigate existing codebases effectively, shipping MVPs and iterative updates that meet mission deadlines.

Qualifications

• Experience: 3+ years of professional software development experience, demonstrating the ability to take features from concept to production in a SaaS startup environment.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree or higher in a relevant field.
• Technical Proficiency: Strong working knowledge of at least one modern language (e.g. TypeScript, Java, or Python) and a solid grasp of asynchronous programming and RESTful API design.
• Feature Ownership: Demonstrated experience building and maintaining complex web applications using React, with a focus on writing clean, testable, and reusable code.
• Data & Tools: Competent in SQL and experienced in working with real-time data streams (e.g. WebSockets) or message brokers (e.g. MQTT). You are comfortable working within Dockerized environments and utilizing GitLab for CI/CD.
• Execution & Collaboration: Ability to interpret technical requirements and deliver high-quality code with minimal defects. You proactively seek feedback during code reviews and collaborate effectively with peers to solve technical blockers.
• Security & Quality: A consistent focus on software quality and security best practices, ensuring that features are robust and performant before reaching production.
• Direct experience in logistics, robotics, or fleet management systems.
• Background in developing mission-control dashboards or high-density data visualizations.
• Experience with streaming solutions (WebRTC), a map framework (e.g. Mapbox) and geospatial data (GIS)
