• Deep Integration Work: Build and maintain heavy-duty API integrations with enterprise OMS, WMS, and TMS platforms.
• Drive Asynchronous Momentum: Work seamlessly across a globally distributed team (USA, Canada, EU, UK, China).
• Maintain High Engineering Standards: Participate in rigorous asynchronous code reviews.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional full-stack experience (TypeScript / Node.js / React).
• Comfortable with ambiguity and able to unblock yourself.
• Detail-oriented with a big-picture view.
• Proven experience working effectively in a globally distributed, asynchronous environment.

Requirements

• Proven track record building cloud-native, event-driven architectures.
• Understanding of when to use relational databases and NoSQL/document stores.
• Deep curiosity and attention to detail.
• Proactive team player who prioritizes shared wins over individual recognition.

Bonus Points (Nice-to-Haves)

• Deep experience with the GCP / Firebase ecosystem (especially Firestore and Data Connect at scale).
• Direct experience building systems in Logistics, Supply Chain, FinTech, or E-commerce verticals.
• Previous experience integrating with enterprise e-commerce platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce) or global shipping/carrier APIs.
