Senior Software Engineer

DAT is an award-winning employer of choice and a next-generation SaaS technology company that has been at the leading edge of innovation in transportation supply chain logistics for 45 years. We continue to transform the industry year over year, by deploying a suite of software solutions to millions of customers every day - customers who depend on DAT for the most relevant data and most accurate insights to help them make smarter business decisions and run their companies more profitably.

We operate the largest marketplace of its kind in North America, with 400 million freights posted in 2022, and a database of $150 billion of annual global shipment market transaction data. Our headquarters are in Denver, CO, and Beaverton, OR, with additional offices in Seattle, WA;
Springfield, MO; and Bangalore, India.

The Opportunity:

Broker Tech builds products for the Convoy Platform at DAT, enabling brokers to match and execute shipments while they work seamlessly within their Transportation Management Systems. We partner with brokers to transform how they work, grow, and succeed by:

• Empowering Matching:
  Building smarter tools and visibility that boost broker match rates and strengthen carrier connections.
• Fueling Growth:
  Enabling brokers to expand through better pricing, new freight categories, and integrations.
• Encouraging Healthy Behaviors:
  Guiding brokers toward practices that protect our carrier network and ensure product quality.
• Ensuring Payments:
  Strengthening and automating broker payment processes to reduce risk and ensure reliability.
• Enhancing Communication:
  Creating unified, timely communication channels so brokers stay informed and engaged in real time.
• Enabling Ideal Experiences:
  Delivering seamless workflows leveraging APIs and webhooks between Convoy Platform and TMSs, while empowering brokers with self-service configuration and onboarding tools.

What You'll Do:

• Hands-On Development:
  Write, test, and deploy production-quality code; establish code review and documentation standards. Implement message-driven workflows (Kafka, Rabbit
  
  MQ) and reusable integration components. Improve the code structure and architecture as you develop new features.
• Technical Leadership:
  Be the technical lead for projects, contributing to the planning, design, development, deployment, and maintenance of product features. You will drive design + delivery, not people management. Ensure that technical and inter-team dependencies are understood and accounted for.
• Collaboration & Growth:
  Partner with product and business stakeholders to clarify requirements in a complex domain. Mentor junior developers and ensure that established codebase standards are adhered to.

The Skills and Experience You'll Bring:

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong proficiency with Type Script, Node.js, including API design, performance, and debugging in production.
• Familiarity with frontend development in React.
• Production operational competence: observability (logs/metrics/traces), incident response, root-cause analysis, and on-call readiness.
• Experience with distributed systems fundamentals: consistency tradeoffs, failure modes, timeouts, retries, and graceful degradation.
• Proficiency with data stores (SQL strongly preferred; No
  
  SQL a plus) including schema design, migrations, and query performance.
• Hands-on experience with message queues (Kafka, Rabbit
  
  MQ) and cloud-native deployments (Docker/Kubernetes on AWS/Azure/GCP).
• Ability to own architecture and code end-to-end in a high ownership, low process environment.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
• Bonus
  
  Skills:
  
  Experience designing and operating microservices in production: service boundaries, versioning, backward
