As the Delivery Platform Engineering Lead, you will oversee the development of highly scalable and robust systems that power the Delivery Management and Fleet Management platforms. You will spend about 75% of your time coding, designing and reviewing Elixir code, while also providing leadership and direction to a small, focused engineering team.

  • Scaling Performance: Identify bottlenecks, devise solutions and optimize systems to handle rapid increases in traffic and data volume.
  • Collaboration: Partner with product managers, operations teams and other stakeholders to align technical solutions with business objectives.
  • Quality Process Improvement: Champion code quality, testing strategies and continuous integration/deployment. Proactively seek opportunities to streamline workflows and enhance team productivity.
  • Future-Proofing: Experience staying current with emerging technologies and industry best practices, integrating relevant tools and techniques to keep the platforms cutting-edge.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of professional experience in software development
  • Technical Experience:
2+ years of experience in Elixir or Erlang with a strong background in building large-scale, distributed systems.
Solid grasp of concurrency, fault tolerance and event-driven architectures.
Familiarity with cloud services (AWS, GCP) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) is a plus.
  • Leadership Team Management:
Experience managing small, agile engineering teams.
Strong communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Hands-On Approach:
Comfortable spending 75% of your time coding, troubleshooting and reviewing code.
Passion for building well-crafted, maintainable software.

What Makes You Stand Out:

  • Strategic Vision: You think beyond immediate tasks to chart a roadmap that ensures platform longevity and innovation.
  • Process Innovator: You excel at identifying inefficiencies and driving changes that boost overall team performance.
  • Relentless Drive for Quality: You set high standards for code and system design, continually raising the bar for your team and the organization.
  • Strong Cross-Functional Communicator: You effectively collaborate with product, operations and executive teams to ensure technology and business goals remain in sync.
  • Passion for Logistics: You bring curiosity and enthusiasm for solving complex challenges in delivery and fleet management, keeping up with the latest trends and technologies in the space.
