The Opportunity

We are launching a greenfield initiative to build a robust integrations service that connects Convoy Platform, a DAT product with freight brokers and related partners. As one of the first three engineers on this new team, you will design and deliver the services, APIs, and event-driven systems that make this layer the foundation of our future growth.

This role offers true product-level ownership: from architecture and code to CI/CD, monitoring, and scaling. You will shape our technical direction and mentor future hires as the team expands.

What You’ll Do

• Design & Build Integrations Layer
  • Architect and implement a new broker-integrations platform using Node.js (Express.js) and complementary technologies (e.g., Java/Spring Boot or .NET).
  • Develop high-quality, secure APIs (REST, GraphQL) and event-driven services to enable reliable broker onboarding and data exchange.
• Hands-On Development
  • Write, test, and deploy production-quality code; establish code review and documentation standards.
  • Implement message-driven workflows (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and reusable integration components.
• Technical Leadership
  • Create a 12-month architectural roadmap; break down objectives into achievable milestones.
  • Set best practices for API versioning, CI/CD, observability, and fault tolerance.
• Collaboration & Growth
  • Partner with product and business stakeholders to clarify requirements in a complex domain.
  • Mentor future teammates as the integrations group scales.

30/60/90-Day Expectations

• 30 days
  • Fully onboarded and deeply familiar with DAT domain, broker API patterns, and internal systems.
  • Establish baseline repo, CI/CD pipeline, and core coding conventions.
  • Deliver at least one proof-of-concept integration or internal service.
• 60 days
  • Complete and review comprehensive architectural plan, including scalability and security trade-offs.
  • Implement first production-ready integration service with automated testing and monitoring.
  • Define metrics (SLAs, error budgets) for the integrations layer.
• 90 days
  • Core framework and first set of services live in production; at least one broker actively onboarding through the new system.
  • Document reusable patterns (API versioning, retries, backoff) for future engineers.

What Success Looks Like in 12 Months

• A stable, well-documented integrations platform that enables fast, high-quality broker onboarding.
• Clear metrics showing improved speed and reliability of partner integrations.

What Excites Us About This Role

• A greenfield build with massive business impact.
• Opportunity to set the technical and cultural foundation for a new integrations organization.
• Direct influence on critical, revenue-driving systems.

The Skills and Experience You’ll Bring

• 7–10+ years of professional software engineering experience with deep Node.js expertise (Express.js, NestJS) and at least one additional language (Java/Spring Boot or .NET).
• Proven success designing and deploying large-scale APIs and event-driven services.
• Hands-on experience with message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and cloud-native deployments (Docker/Kubernetes on AWS/Azure/GCP).
• Strong knowledge of integration security (OAuth2, mTLS, JWT).
• Ability to own architecture and code end-to-end in an unstructured, early-stage environment.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

Bonus Skills 

• Familiarity with iPaaS solutions (MuleSoft, Boomi, Azure Logic Apps).
• Background in transportation, logistics, or complex B2B integrations.
