We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team and contribute to the core platform that powers our shipping and logistics operations. You'll work across our API layer, background processing systems, and internal tooling, building features that handle real-world shipping workflows at scale.

• MySQL with read/write replica configuration
• Redis for caching and queue management
• Laravel Horizon for queue monitoring and job processing
• PostgreSQL / Redshift for data warehousing
• Docker-based development and deployment environments
• GitLab CI/CD pipelines
• AWS services (S3, SQS)
• RESTful API design with Swagger/OpenAPI documentation (L5-Swagger)
• Webhook integrations with third-party shipping carriers (USPS, UPS)

What You'll Do

• Design and build APIs and services that support shipment creation, rate calculation, tracking, and label generation
• Optimize database queries and caching strategies across a high-throughput system
• Build and maintain background job pipelines for async processing
• Integrate with third-party carrier APIs and handle the inevitable quirks that come with them

• Hands-on experience with Redis for caching and/or queuing
• Familiarity with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred)
• Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs
• Comfortable working with Vue.js or similar frontend frameworks (not a frontend-heavy role, but you'll touch it)
• Understanding of queue-based architectures and async job processing
• Good instincts around system design, data modeling, and performance

Nice to Have

• Experience in shipping, logistics, or e-commerce domains
• Familiarity with Laravel Horizon, Passport, or Telescope
