What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer, Infra position at Convoy?
Convoy is transforming the $800 billion trucking industry, where even 10 years ago, most truck drivers did not have smartphones and paper driver logs were common. In 2015, Convoy launched the digital freight movement with an open and fully connected marketplace for brands and manufacturers to work directly with freight carriers who move truckload shipments throughout the country. This ‘Digital Freight Network’ is powered by machine learning and automation, and supported by a broad, ever-growing set of features that benefit both sides of the marketplace.
We’ve been honored to work with some great companies, such as Unilever, The Home Depot, and Procter & Gamble. We’ve also been backed by world-class investors, including Google, YCombinator, Fidelity, Greylock Generation, Lone Pine, T. Rowe Price, Baillie Gifford and the founders and CEOs of Amazon, Salesforce, eBay, LinkedIn, Expedia, Dropbox, Starbucks, and others. We are proud to have been named a CNBC Disruptor 50 Winner (3x), a Fast Company World Changing Idea, a LinkedIn Top Startup, a Forbes' Best Startup Employer, one of Fortune Magazine's 'Impact 20' list, a best place to work in Washington State, a BloombergNEF Pioneer winner, and more.
This is your opportunity to collaborate with an incredible group of people and help transform the freight industry. Join Convoy and help us transport the world with endless capacity and zero waste.
The Foundation Platforms team builds the infrastructure that enables teams to build, test, deploy, host, debug and monitor their systems. We ensure that engineering teams are able to build. We own the compute platform, online datastores, monitoring and metrics systems, infrastructure orchestration, test infrastructure, developer tooling, and the general reliability program for Convoy. The members of our team are highly skilled at delivery, designing for resilience, software development, and operational best practices. We help teams understand stability and scalability in order to maintain high feature development velocity in robust and reliable services. We guide the rest of engineering and provide them with platforms that offer infrastructure best practices.
About you: Foundation Platforms Engineers are eager to build wide-ranging platforms that impact all teams at Convoy and have a passion for providing systems that are resilient, safe, and capable of scaling to meet the demands of an always-on internet-based product. You have experience scaling distributed systems and an understanding of common failure cases and strategies used to avoid them. You have the software engineering expertise and are capable of modifying open source solutions or building new platforms when there is a need. You have experience leveraging open source work to assemble new platforms to meet the needs of quickly-growing products. You have good communication skills that you’ll use to educate product teams on the platforms and systems we create and how they can be leveraged to make their jobs easier. You are willing to dive deeply into problems and participate in the operational excellence program including root cause analysis and working directly with service teams and orgs to remediate and prevent incidents.
These are some of the technologies that we work with. Don’t worry if you are not familiar with all of them. This is a broad list and not all members of the team interact with all systems. This is simply intended to give you an understanding of the spaces in which we operate and technologies that you’ll be able to work with:
