About the role

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. You will be helping our engineering team with technical decisions, process improvements and building culture we are proud of for years to come.

Responsibilities

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.

We get excited about candidates who have

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.

Nice to haves

You have owned the technical roadmap for a product or business area.
Logistics experience is a plus (but not at all a requirement).
