By changing how organizations work together across the global supply chain, we will play a critical role in tackling these challenges head-on and unblocking human advancement. We are a team of serial entrepreneurs with extensive backgrounds building world-class product, engineering, operations, sales & marketing teams. We know what it takes to go from zero-to-one AND what it takes to achieve scale and transform markets.
About the Opportunity
Our mission is to redefine analytics, accountability and visibility within the supply chain and logistics industry. The global supply chain accounts for roughly 10% of Global GDP, and is also one of the largest contributors to significant global challenges like air pollution and food waste.

We are looking for an experienced engineer to join our founding engineering team to help drive technical direction across many projects. You will be responsible for architecture and technology choices that balance scalability, stability, security and costs.

What you’ll do
- Collaborate with product management, operations and sales to scope and lead complex technical projects with enormous impact for our users.
- Scrutinize and reason clearly about the technology and architecture choices we make in building our product. Communicate your thoughts effectively with your peers multiple time zones away.
- Serve as a role model for how great software should be written: proposal, discussion, code, documentation.
- Arbitrate critical decisions correctly by fully considering software best practices, customer needs, team’s state, and numerous other stakeholders preferences and concerns.
- Own features from start to finish: test, development, deployment, and infrastructure.
- Never stop learning. You’ll be responsible for mentoring and learning through code review process, tech talks, and many ad hoc technical conversations.
- Use your judgment to decide what areas of the codebase to invest in, when to incur technical debt, when to move fast, and when to slow down.
- Wear many hats: help with scaling our engineering team, define engineering processes, understand the logistics business, and collaborate with other functions within ISO.
Your Experience
- Strong technical background, including 8+ years of experience with system architecture and infrastructure. Being a Staff Engineer in the past is a huge plus.
- Experience as the technical lead for a team of engineers who can demonstrate broad technical leadership.
- Expert level experience with a back-end programming language like Ruby, Python, Java, or JavaScript and a framework such as Ruby on Rails, Django, or Express.js
- Knowledge and experience with building and scaling cloud infrastructure.
- Real-world experience with PostgreSQL - debugging slow queries, identifying the culprits, and implementing improvements.
- Experience in the early-mid stages of a fast-growing company, where you had to grow with the company and iterate quickly.
