About the role

Backend-focused software engineer role at Terminal, building telematics data infrastructure and APIs for commercial trucking; role spans integrations, APIs, dashboards, and ingestion platform with end-to-end ownership.

Responsibilities

  • Design new features and platform capabilities, partnering with teammates and customers to expand what Terminal can do.
  • Build the primitives that power our platform: connector frameworks, orchestration, monitoring, auth, testing, and more.
  • Shape how we build, not just what we build: the AI-powered tooling that lets the platform increasingly improve itself.
  • Add and maintain integrations across 330+ telematics providers, making messy, under-documented APIs reliable.
  • Work with integration partners to shape their APIs, expand the data we can offer, and improve performance at the source.
  • Work directly with customers: demos, implementations, and troubleshooting threads.
  • Work day to day in TypeScript/Node.js to deploy services on AWS.

Qualifications

  • A strong backend engineer who's shipped and owned production systems end to end.
  • Can be trusted with hard architecture decisions.
  • Thrives against messy, undocumented, uncooperative external systems and makes them reliable anyway.
  • Depth in distributed systems: you anticipate failures and can debug fast when things break.
  • Platform builder: you make the systems other teams stand on, and design them to last.
  • Sound judgment in ambiguity: you scope before building and know when to go deep on details VS ship fast experiments.
  • Customer-facing: you want to be in the demo, the implementation call, and the hard troubleshooting thread so you can learn more about our customers.
  • Strong in Node.js and TypeScript, or confident to pick it up fast.
