Reporting into engineering leadership and working closely with operations, product, and adjacent platform engineers, you'll own core workflows across load management, vehicle management, bidding, location and mapping, and carrier outreach. This is a hands-on senior role for someone who can ship production Laravel systems, mentor other engineers, and raise the bar on architecture, testing, observability, and AI-assisted development. What You'll Do * Own load management systems: load lifecycle, planning board, appointments, consolidation, journey tracking, late-load prediction, no-insurance alerts, load board listings, and rate confirmation. * Build vehicle workflows: BOL generation, gate passes, pickup and delivery inspections, VIN decoding, vehicle exceptions, and vehicle tracking. * Develop bidding systems: bid workflow, auto-bid acceptance rules, margin logic, operating-hour safeguards, and bid notifications. * Improve location and mapping capabilities: AWS Location services, Google Maps integration, driver tracking, geocoding, geofencing, and ETA calculations. * Support carrier outreach: campaign creation, email composition, AI-assisted email variation, email tracking, and conversion analytics. * Design features end-to-end with operations stakeholders, from requirements and schema design through Eloquent models, Livewire/Alpine UI, jobs and queues, tests, and rollout. * Optimize high-volume, real-time workflows with queue tuning, indexing, caching, retries, idempotency, and graceful failure handling. * Mentor engineers, lead rigorous code review, document pod-level decisions, and use Cursor and Codex as daily tools while reviewing AI-generated code with clear technical judgment., * Own the operational core of a vehicle logistics platform moving 200,000+ vehicles annually through a vetted network of 13,000+ transporters. * Work on real technical depth: real-time tracking, geofencing, auto-bid systems, planning boards, late-load prediction, third-party integrations, and queue-driven workflows. * Collaborate across teams that matter, including operations, product, engineering leadership, and Pod 3 engineers responsible for platform concerns like notifications, integrations, and authentication. * Join an AI-forward engineering culture where Cursor and Codex are first-class tools, paired with strong tests, code review, and Pint-enforced standards. * Work in person at Atlanta Tech Village with direct exposure to leadership, fast feedback loops, and senior-level room to shape what gets built next. ## Related Videos - [The Laravel Core - Demystify The Beast](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/98-the-laravel-core-demystify-the-beast) - [ Evaluating AI models for code comprehension](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1462-evaluating-ai-models-for-code-comprehension) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [MySQL Protocol Features You Should Be Aware Of](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100267-mysql-protocol-features-you-should-be-aware-of) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Streaming AI Responses in Real-Time with SSE in Next.js & NestJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1630-streaming-ai-responses-in-real-time-with-sse-in-next-js-nestjs) ## Related Articles - [The 7 Most Popular Backend Frameworks for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/403-the-7-most-popular-backend-frameworks-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [20 Essential Tools For Backend Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/218-20-essential-tools-for-backend-development) - [Dev Digest 113 - Debugging above the cloud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/422-dev-digest-113-debugging-above-the-cloud) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix)
