You'll work directly with engineering, operations, product, implementation, and customer stakeholders to understand operational challenges, design scalable solutions, build them, deploy them, and measure their impact.You'll solve complex challenges across our logistics platform—including Warehouse Management (WMS), Order Management (OMS), Transportation Management (TMS), Labor Management (LMS), billing, integrations, and AI-powered workflows.This is a high-autonomy role where ambiguity is expected, priorities evolve quickly, and success is measured by business outcomes - not tickets completed.Key Responsibilities:Partner directly with Operations, Product, Customer Success, Implementation, and Engineering teams to solve complex business problems.Own initiatives from discovery through production, including solution design, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.Translate operational workflows into scalable software solutions.Build and maintain end-to-end logistics integrations (WMS, OMS, TMS, LMS).Develop and support Shopify integrations and iPaaS connectivity.Expand our in-house WMS fulfillment platform.Design scalable event-driven systems supporting orders, inventory, warehouse events, billing, and fulfillment automation.Develop EDI integrations supporting wholesale, retail, freight, and omnichannel customers.Build ERP integrations supporting financial synchronization, reconciliation, and operational reporting.Enhance billing capabilities including payment processing, auto-recharge, billing rules, and charge validation.Develop labor management capabilities including productivity metrics, forecasting, workforce planning, and operational reporting.Improve inventory visibility through enhanced traceability, lot control, expiration management, and warehouse analytics.Design highly reliable asynchronous processing using Celery and distributed task queues.Partner with QA and Infrastructure to improve CI/CD pipelines, observability, monitoring, resilience, and deployment automation.Use AI engineering tools (GitHub Copilot, Codex, ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to accelerate software delivery and improve engineering effectiveness.Participate in customer implementations, technical discovery sessions, architecture reviews, and operational design discussions when needed.Work across the entire platform rather than owning a single service or component.Drive technical decisions that improve customer experience and operational efficiency.Qualifications:7+ years of professional software engineering experience, or equivalent experience demonstrating exceptional ownership, independent delivery, and the ability to rapidly learn new technologies and business domains.Strong Python and Django experience, including Django REST Framework.Strong PostgreSQL experience, including schema design and performance optimization.Experience designing distributed systems and event-driven architectures.Experience building REST APIs, webhooks, OAuth2 integrations, and asynchronous messaging systems.Experience working with AWS (EKS, Kubernetes, Lambda, S3, CloudFront, etc.).Experience with Celery or comparable asynchronous processing frameworks.Understanding of warehouse operations including receiving, put-away, replenishment, picking, packing, shipping, and inventory management.Experience integrating with enterprise business systems including WMS, OMS, ERP, TMS, or LMS platforms.Experience working directly with cross-functional stakeholders to define technical solutions.Strong debugging, troubleshooting, and systems thinking skills.Excellent communication skills with both technical and business audiences.Comfortable operating with incomplete requirements and evolving priorities.Preferred Qualifications:Experience with Shopify, BigCommerce, Amazon Marketplace, or similar commerce platforms.Experience with NetSuite or other ERP systems.Experience with EDI transaction processing.Experience with iPaaS platforms (Alloy, Pipe17, Dropstream, etc.).Experience with React.Experience with ArgoCD, Helm, Kubernetes, GitOps, and cloud-native deployment strategies.Experience with Elasticsearch, Kibana, Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, or Sentry.Experience with AI coding assistants and autonomous development workflows.Experience participating in
