Role

Who you are

2–5+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent)
Experience building production services in TypeScript/Node.js (or strong Java/C#/Go experience with willingness to ramp)
Familiarity with React and modern frontend development fundamentals
Comfort working with APIs (REST preferred; GraphQL a plus) and collaborating on contracts
Familiarity with SQL databases (schema basics, writing queries, migrations with guidance)
Exposure to async systems (queues/events) such as Kafka/RabbitMQ/SQS is a plus, or willingness to learn
Solid engineering fundamentals: debugging, testing, code quality, and clear written communication
Willingness to participate in on-call rotation and incident follow-ups (with support and training)

Desirable

Experience with microservices in production
Hands-on exposure to Kafka/RabbitMQ patterns (retries, DLQs, idempotency)
Docker/Kubernetes familiarity
CI/CD experience (tests in pipeline, safe deploy patterns, feature flags)

What the job involves

Write, test, and deploy production-quality code with guidance from senior engineers
Build and maintain backend services in js/TypeScript and contribute to React frontends as needed
Implement and support message-driven workflows (Kafka/RabbitMQ) using existing patterns and reusable components
Improve code quality and maintainability as you deliver features (tests, refactors, documentation)
Partner with product and business stakeholders to clarify requirements in a complex domain
Participate in code reviews (both receiving and giving) and incorporate feedback quickly
Learn the team’s operational practices: monitoring, alerts, on-call support, and incident follow-ups
Grow ownership over time: take on increasingly complex tickets, then small projects

Our take

DAT Freight & Analytics operates the largest truckload freight marketplace in North America, deploying freight-matching and analytics solutions to companies all across the freight logistics industry. At its core, the company exists to help businesses optimize their freight operations and achieve pricing power over a hyper-dynamic marketplace.

The company derives its data from the millions of freight matches powered by its platform, as well as a database of market transactions. This enables it to provide transportation brokers, carriers, industry analysts and other organizations with clear and actionable insights into market trends.

Having been a market leader for over 40 years, the company has grown from being a single bulletin board at a gas station in Oregon to seeing its technology deployed to millions of end users. DAT has been consistently focused on R&D and the expansion of its offering, including by acquisitions such as that of the freight-matching Convoy Platform.
