Software Development Manager – Web

For nearly two decades, Zonar Systems has been pioneering products and services that are laser-focused on making the transportation industry more efficient, more productive, and safer. 

ZLogs is an ELD (Electronic Logging Device) that helps drivers and fleet managers keep track of driver hours and performance, helping drivers drive safely, which keeps all of us out on the road safer. Data is constantly sent from trucks and other vehicles with Zonar ELD installed. This data is analyzed so that a driver and their dispatcher have visibility into driver performance, availability and compliance.

We are looking for a Software Development Manager to lead a team of talented engineers in designing and building the next generation of our web platform for ELD. This team provides reporting to dispatchers, and an excellent out of truck experience to drivers. Dispatchers need data presented to them in a clear concise manner, to let them get on with their job of keeping their company compliant. Drivers need to be able to edit and certify their logs when they are away from their truck. You will lead the team as we work to transform our current implementation, scale to increasing volumes, and migrate to new web frameworks.
