Senior Integrations Engineer

This is a senior individual contributor backend engineering role within a well-funded, high-growth startup environment for a partner company based in the United States. The role is fully remote for candidates located anywhere in the United States, with US-aligned working hours.

About the role

You’ll design and build distributed systems that power an AI-enabled, device-agnostic risk-management platform for cold-chain logistics. Your work will process high-volume IoT data and turn it into real-time insights that help protect valuable pharmaceutical and perishable shipments. You’ll own critical backend services, event-driven pipelines, predictive capabilities, and data-intensive systems where reliability and accuracy are essential. Working within a lean engineering organization, you’ll have significant influence over architecture, technical direction, and product decisions.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and operate scalable backend services supporting logistics orchestration, risk management, and decision intelligence.
• Build and maintain data-intensive distributed systems that ingest, process, and contextualize high-volume IoT monitoring data in real time.
• Develop predictive capabilities for on-time, in-full (OTIF) performance and automate workflows for identifying and handling shipment exceptions.
• Architect event-driven data pipelines using messaging technologies to reliably process large volumes of connected-device data.
• Design and maintain APIs and backend integrations using REST and/or gRPC to support reliable communication across services and systems.
• Collaborate closely with engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to shape product requirements, technical architecture, and engineering priorities.
• Champion strong software engineering practices, including automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring, observability, reliability, and maintainability.
• Build systems for scale, resilience, and high availability in an environment where data accuracy and uptime have a direct operational impact.
• Contribute to technical decision-making and serve as a senior engineering voice within a lean, high-velocity team.

Requirements

• 5–15 years of professional backend engineering experience, with a track record of building and operating scalable, distributed systems.
• Strong proficiency in at least one modern backend programming language, such as Python, Java, Go, or Rust; strong Java and/or Python experience is preferred.
• Hands-on experience designing and operating data-heavy distributed systems, including systems involving significant data ingestion and processing requirements.
• Experience working with IoT data ingestion, processing, and contextualization.
• Strong knowledge of relational databases, SQL, and data modeling; experience with NoSQL databases and ETL pipelines is a plus.
• Experience designing event-driven architectures and working with messaging platforms such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar technologies.
• Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration.
• Experience deploying, scaling, and operating production services on cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Experience designing and developing APIs using REST and/or gRPC.
• Strong understanding of software engineering best practices, including testing, CI/CD, monitoring, observability, and production operations.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence architecture and engineering decisions across teams.
• Ability to work effectively in a lean, fast-paced, growth-stage startup environment with a high degree of ownership.
• Domain knowledge in logistics, cold-chain operations, shipment risk, or OTIF prediction is a plus.
• Experience in logistics technology, supply chain, IoT, or other data-intensive technology environments is advantageous.
• Familiarity with data security, privacy, and regulatory requirements relevant to pharmaceutical or cold-chain operations is a plus.
• Eligibility to work in the United States or ability to obtain visa sponsorship; sponsorship is available for this position.

Benefits

• Base salary of $130,000–$160,000 USD annually.
• Equity participation.
• Cash bonus opportunity.
• Visa sponsorship available.
• Fully remote position open to candidates located anywhere in the United States.
• US-aligned working hours.
• Opportunity to work on high-impact technology protecting pharmaceutical and perishable shipments.
• Senior individual contributor role with meaningful influence over architecture, engineering practices, and product direction.
• Opportunity to join a lean, high-velocity team in a growth-stage startup environment.
• Structured interview process including a manager introductory conversation, take-home technical assessment, and final interview.
