Job description

  • Platform Modernization: Lead the architectural evolution and migration of legacy systems into scalable, modern infrastructure.
  • Product-Minded Engineering: Collaborate closely with stakeholders to understand the "why" behind features, ensuring software solves real-world logistics compliance problems.
  • Mentorship: Elevate the engineering team by mentoring junior developers and actively shaping a high-performing engineering culture.

Why Candidates Love This Company

  • Zero Burn-Rate Stress: 100% self-funded, profitable, and stable. You will never have to worry about the next venture capital funding round or pre-revenue market instability.
  • Massive Influence, Zero Bureaucracy: Operate within a tight-knit team of under 50 employees where your architectural decisions directly impact the product roadmap.
  • AI-Forward Culture: Management actively encourages the adoption of cutting-edge AI coding assistants to help you build better, faster, and smarter.
  • Defensible Niche Market: The company builds deeply specialized software that global freight and aviation operators rely on daily to navigate complex federal regulatory frameworks (TSA, CTPAT, DOT).

Requirements

  • Experience: 5+ years of professional experience building scalable SaaS or web applications.
  • Backend: Strong proficiency in PHP and Python.
  • Frontend: Solid experience building modern UIs with React.
  • Infrastructure: Hands-on experience with AWS, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and robust CI/CD pipelines.
  • Modern Tooling: Active utilization of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code) to accelerate delivery.
  • Geography: Must reside in or near Ohio (Remote role anchored to a Strongsville, OH headquarters).
