Senior backend engineer at a Series A startup building an AI-enabled cold-chain logistics platform. Fully remote in the US, salary $130k-$160k, visa sponsorship available.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a senior individual contributor (IC) backend engineering role at a well-funded Series A startup building an AI-enabled, device-agnostic risk-management platform for cold-chain logistics. The platform helps pharma and perishables shippers and carriers reduce product loss, improve operational efficiency, and make smarter decisions in real time — answering who, what, when, where, and how for every shipment.
You'll be a key technical voice on a lean, high-velocity team of ~27, designing and shipping the distributed systems that sit at the heart of the product. Your work directly protects high-value shipments that people depend on.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Design and build backend services powering the logistics orchestration and decision-intelligence platform.
- Own data-heavy distributed systems that contextualize IoT monitoring data and quantify shipment risk in real time.
- Build predictive systems for OTIF (on-time, in-full) performance and automate exception-handling workflows.
- Architect and maintain event-driven pipelines for high-volume IoT data ingestion and processing.
- Partner closely with engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to influence product and architecture decisions.
- Champion software engineering best practices: testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and observability.
- Build for scale and reliability in a domain where uptime and accuracy genuinely matter.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Required
- 5–15 years of backend engineering experience building scalable, distributed systems.
- Proficiency in at least one modern backend language: Python, Java, Go, or Rust (strong Java and/or Python preferred).
- Hands-on experience designing and operating data-heavy distributed systems.
- Experience with IoT data ingestion, processing, and contextualization.
- Proficiency with relational databases (SQL) and data modeling; experience with NoSQL databases and ETL pipelines is a plus.
- Experience building event-driven architectures and working with messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar).
- Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration.
- Experience deploying and operating services on cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Experience with API design and development (REST and/or gRPC).
- Strong software engineering practices including testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and observability.
- Strong cross-functional communication skills; ability to influence architecture and engineering decisions.
- Eligibility to work in the United States or ability to obtain visa sponsorship (sponsorship available).
Nice to Have
- Domain knowledge in logistics, cold chain, shipment risk quantification, or OTIF prediction.
- Prior experience at logistics-tech, supply-chain, or IoT-focused companies.
- Familiarity with data security, privacy, and regulatory requirements relevant to pharma or cold-chain domains.
- Prior work at a growth-stage or Series A startup.
