We partner with brokers to transform how they work, grow, and succeed by: - **Empowering Matching:** Building smarter tools and visibility that boost broker match rates and strengthen carrier connections. - **Fueling Growth:** Enabling brokers to expand through better pricing, new freight categories, and integrations. - **Ensuring Payments:** Strengthening and automating broker payment processes to reduce risk and ensure reliability. - **Enabling Ideal Experiences:** Delivering seamless workflows via APIs and webhooks between the Convoy Platform and TMSs, with self-service configuration and onboarding tools. We care as much about how software runs in production as what it does. If you like understanding the full path from a code change to a healthy, observable, safely-deployed service, you'll fit in here. **What You'll Do** Hands-On Development - Write, test, and deploy production-quality code with guidance from senior engineers. - Build and maintain backend services in **Node.js/TypeScript** and contribute to **React** frontends as needed. - Implement and support message-driven workflows (Kafka/RabbitMQ) using existing patterns and reusable components. - Improve code quality and maintainability as you deliver features (tests, refactors, documentation). Infrastructure & Reliability - Learn how our services are built, deployed, and operated (containers with Docker, orchestration with Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code with Terraform) and make changes to them with mentorship. - Add and improve observability (logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, alerts) so the systems you touch are easy to reason about in production. - Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and safe deployment practices (feature flags, staged rollouts, rollbacks). - Treat operational health as a feature: help tune alerts, reduce toil, and harden the services in your area. Collaboration & Growth - Partner with product and business stakeholders to clarify requirements in a complex domain. - Participate in code reviews (both receiving and giving) and incorporate feedback quickly. - Learn the team's operational practices: monitoring, alerts, on-call support, and incident follow-ups. - Grow ownership over time: take on increasingly complex tickets, then small projects, including the infrastructure that supports them. **What Excites Us About This Role** - As the Convoy platform expands into a critical marketplace for brokers, this team shapes outcomes that matter for broker workflows and reliability. - High owner…
