As a Senior Software Engineer in the Flash team, you will help build AI‑driven solutions and the Co Pilot that powers our logistics operations.

You will maintain and evolve a sophisticated event‑driven, distributed architecture designed to answer one key question: how do we improve shipment handling and bring efficiency to our operations teams at scale?

This role focuses on building reliable, data‑heavy systems that directly impact revenue and operational performance, from quotation and rate management to shipment execution and schedule optimization, to carrier integrations and automated data extraction from unstructured sources (emails, PDFs, spreadsheets).

What you will do

• Design, build, and evolve scalable and resilient backend systems.
• Contribute to an event‑driven, distributed architecture.
• Work on AI‑adjacent systems (integration, orchestration, data‑heavy workflows).
• Own services end‑to‑end (design, implementation, documentation, operation).
• Collaborate closely with product managers, operations, and other engineers.
• Communicate clearly with stakeholders and explain technical trade‑offs.
• Contribute to technical standards and best practices within the team.
• Foster a culture of excellence by coaching team members in best practices for backend engineering, domain‑driven design, and navigating the complexities of the logistics domain.
• Required Skills and Experience
• Strong grasp of data structures, algorithms, and complexity analysis, particularly as they apply to large‑scale data processing and financial calculations.
• Proven professional software craftsmanship, with a focus on building high‑quality, maintainable, and testable code (an understanding of TDD is a plus).
• Expertise in designing and implementing large‑scale, event‑driven microservices architectures and robust APIs, with a keen understanding of data consistency in distributed systems.
• Deep understanding of synchronous vs. asynchronous communication patterns and their impact on system performance and reliability.
• Hands‑on experience developing distributed backend applications, with a strong focus on data consistency, system quality, low latency, and high availability.
• Proficiency in microservices, with hands‑on experience in backend technologies such as Node. js, Type Script, and Mongo DB.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and container orchestration for deploying and managing scalable pricing services.
• Experience with cloud providers (AWS or GCP preferred) for deploying and managing highly available and scalable applications.
• A collaborative, team‑oriented mindset with strong critical product thinking and a sense of ownership over the accuracy and effectiveness of pricing data.
• Fluent in English, both verbal and written, for effective communication within a global team.
• Preferred Skills and Experience
• Experience integrating AI/LLM‑powered features into user‑facing applications. xayajpt
• Experience applying Domain‑Driven Design (DDD) in complex product domains.
