[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @Kaleris

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who thrives in a dual-track role: delivering on product roadmap commitments while serving as a technical escalation point for prioritized customer issues. You will bring deep engineering expertise to both planned feature development and reactive problem-solving, working closely with product, engineering, and customer success teams to keep our yard management and finished vehicles logistics solutions moving forward. This is a high-impact role for someone who is as comfortable diving deep into an escalated customer issue as they are designing a well-architected feature.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Customer Issue Resolution
  • Receive and own pre-triaged, escalated customer issues from the Customer Support team and drive them to resolution.
  • Debug and diagnose complex production and integration problems across the full stack.
  • Identify root causes and implement durable fixes — not just workarounds.
  • Communicate proactively with stakeholders on issue status, timelines, and resolution plans.
  • Document findings and contribute to internal knowledge bases to reduce repeat escalations.
• Roadmap Development
  • Collaborate with teammates to formulate detailed designs, implement solutions from requirements, and estimate effort.
  • Participate actively in agile product development, including sprint planning, code reviews, and retrospectives.
  • Adhere to test-driven development practices and maintain high standards for code quality.
  • Support product deployments, configuration, and post-release validation.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software development experience, with a track record of owning complex features end-to-end.
• Strong Java proficiency — able to design, build, debug, and own Java-based services and features end-to-end.
• Strong debugging and analytical skills — comfortable isolating issues across frontend, backend, and data layers.
• Hands-on experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and AJAX.
• Solid experience with PostgreSQL — writing queries, analyzing execution plans, and resolving data issues.
• Familiarity with queuing systems and API integrations (Redis/Resque, JSON-based systems, or similar).
• Demonstrated ability to balance competing priorities — planned roadmap work alongside resolving escalated issues.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; English proficiency required.
• Ability to work independently and with distributed, international remote teams.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Ruby on Rails or comparable MVC web frameworks (Django, Laravel, or similar).
• C++ experience.
• Familiarity with GPS, location-based services, or digital mapping technologies.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and deployment pipelines.
• Background in supply chain, logistics, or transportation software.
