• Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes.
• Work cross-functionally with many teams in Engineering, Finance, Analytics, etc.

We're looking for someone who has:

• Experience building and operating backend distributed systems that maintain a high availability and low latency with high throughput.
• Experience building software and systems that strike the right balance between simplicity, flexibility, and safety. We work mostly in NodeJS.
• A high bar for themself and others when working with production systems.
• Pride in working on projects to successful completion involving a wide variety of technologies and systems.
• The ability to thrive in a collaborative environment involving different stakeholders and subject matter experts.
• Are interested in understanding PackageX's complex logistics data problems.
• Have at least 5 years of overall software development experience, at least 3 in NodeJS.
• Experience scaling cloud infrastructure and/or leading or architecting a sufficiently large backend architecture.
