Senior Integrations Engineer

### About the Role This is a senior individual contributor (IC) backend engineering role at a well-funded Series A startup building an AI-enabled, device-agnostic risk-management platform for cold-chain logistics. The platform helps pharma and perishables shippers and carriers reduce product loss, improve operational efficiency, and make smarter decisions in real time — answering **who, what, when, where, and how** for every shipment. You'll be a key technical voice on a lean, high-velocity team of ~27, designing and shipping the distributed systems that sit at the heart of the product. Your work directly protects high-value shipments that people depend on. ### What You'll Do * Design and build backend services powering the logistics orchestration and decision-intelligence platform. * Own data-heavy distributed systems that contextualize IoT monitoring data and quantify shipment risk in real time. * Build predictive systems for OTIF (on-time, in-full) performance and automate exception-handling workflows. * Architect and maintain event-driven pipelines for high-volume IoT data ingestion and processing. * Partner closely with engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to influence product and architecture decisions. * Champion software engineering best practices: testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and observability. * Build for scale and reliability in a domain where uptime and accuracy genuinely matter. ### What We're Looking For ### Required * 5–15 years of backend engineering experience building scalable, distributed systems. * Proficiency in at least one modern backend language: **Python, Java, Go, or Rust** (strong Java and/or Python preferred). * Hands-on experience designing and operating data-heavy distributed systems. * Experience with IoT data ingestion, processing, and contextualization. * Proficiency with relational databases (SQL) and data modeling; experience with NoSQL databases and ETL pipelines is a plus. * Experience building event-driven architectures and working with messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar). * Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration. * Experience deploying and operating services on cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure). * Experience with API design and development (REST and/or gRPC). * Strong software engineering practices including testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and observability. * Strong cross-functional communication skills; ability to influence architecture and engineering decisions. * Eligibility to work in the United States or ability to obtain visa sponsorship (**sponsorship available**). ### Nice to Have * Domain knowledge in logistics, cold chain, shipment risk quantification, or OTIF prediction. * Prior experience at logistics-tech, supply-chain, or IoT-focused companies. * Familiarity with data security, privacy, and regulatory requirements relevant to pharma or cold-chain domains. * Prior work at a growth-stage or Series A startup. ### Compensation & Benefits * **Base salary:** $130,000 – $160,000 USD annually * ### Equity participation * ### Cash bonus * ### Visa sponsorship available ### Location & Work Arrangement Fully **remote**, open to candidates based anywhere in the **United States**. US-aligned working hours required. The company has offices in Indianapolis, IN and Austin, TX. ### Interview Process 1. ### Manager introductory chat 2. ### Take-home technical assessment 3. ### Final interview Originally posted on [Himalayas](https://himalayas.app)
