Senior Software Engineer

Transportation logistics is the foundational industry that powers everything we rely on daily, yet it remains a complex and fragmented domain ripe for technological revolution. The US transportation logistics industry alone is an $800 billion market. Alvys is not just participating in this change; we are driving it as the fastest-growing Transportation Management System (TMS) in history, uniquely positioned to truly transform this essential sector. Your role will be at the forefront of automating and standardizing a sector that moves trillions of dollars' worth of goods annually, predominantly by truck, but still lacks modern tools and solutions. Your leadership will help bridge this gap, bringing innovative technologies to a traditionally underserved and mission-critical industry.

Alvys is the fastest-growing Transportation Management System (TMS) in history, uniquely positioned to dominate and truly revolutionize the $800 billion US transportation logistics industry. We're not just iterating on old tools; we're building a world-class, multi-tenant SaaS platform from the ground up to automate, standardize, and transform this essential sector. Join us to apply your technical vision to one of the economy's most mission-critical and underserved markets, making a massive, tangible impact on the movement of global goods. This is where industry experience meets cutting-edge technology to create the undisputed market winner—and you will be a core part of that journey.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who thrives on solving complex distributed systems problems while maintaining a holistic view of the product. You will be a key driver of our core SaaS platform, responsible for designing and building the high-concurrency services that power our web and mobile applications. While your focus is the backend, you will collaborate closely with Frontend and Mobile engineers to ensure seamless end-to-end integration and a world-class user experience.

• Backend: .NET / C#, ASP.NET, TypeScript
• Frontend: React (with some Angular), JavaScript, TypeScript,
• Mobile: Flutter + Dartr
• Databases: CosmosDB (NoSQL), Postgres, Elasticsearch, Snowflake

• Own the lifecycle of major backend features, from initial technical design and API definition to deployment and scaling.
• Collaborate with Product Managers to define requirements and Designers to ensure API responses support intuitive, high-performance user interfaces across web and mobile.
• Design and implement resilient services that handle high traffic and complex data relationships without compromising performance.
• Drive high standards through rigorous code reviews and by mentoring engineers on best practices in C#, distributed systems, and API contract management.
• Collaborate with the team to evolve our multi-tenant architecture, identifying opportunities to decouple services and optimize the data flow between the backend and frontend.
• Build and maintain the monitoring and alerting necessary to ensure our platform is stable 24/7. "If you build it, you run it."

• 5+ years of experience, with a proven track record of owning and delivering large-scale, mission-critical operational software from design to production.
• Expert-level proficiency in a modern programming language (e.g., C#, Java, TypeScript), with a strong foundation in C# and ASP.NET preferred.
• Nice to have: Familiarity with frontend development concepts and modern UI frameworks to facilitate better end-to-end system design and cross-stack collaboration.
• Competency in both Relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., CosmosDB, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, Postgres), with experience supporting these systems at scale.
• Experience with at least one major cloud provider (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
• Demonstrated experience designing and maintaining high-traffic, resilient backend systems in a production environment.
• Strong technical leadership skills with experience mentoring engineers; experience managing smaller teams is a plus.
• Strong technical leadership skills, including mentoring engineers and driving cross-team architectural consensus. Small-team management experience is a plus.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.

• Ownership: You take pride in your work. You don't consider a feature "done" until it is running smoothly in production and delivering value.
• Transparent: You value feedback and participate in constructive design reviews and blameless post-mortems to help the whole team grow.
• Strategic Choice: You recognize that technical debt is a tool. You know when to move fast to hit a market window and when to pause to refactor for long-term stability.
  Simplicity Scales: You believe that while logistics is complicated, our code shouldn't be. You strive for modularity and clarity in everything you build.
