Software Engineer at Roadie

Job Description

Roadie, a UPS company, is a leading logistics and delivery platform that helps businesses tackle the complexities of modern retail with unmatched delivery coverage, flexibility and visibility. Reaching 97% of U.S. households across more than 30,000 zip codes — from urban hubs to rural communities — Roadie provides seamless, scalable solutions that meet a variety of delivery needs.

With a network of more than 310,000 independent drivers nationwide, Roadie offers flexible delivery solutions that make complex logistics challenges easy, including solutions for local same-day delivery, delivery of big and bulky items, ship-from-store and DC-to-door.

The Payments and Compliance Engineering team at Roadie is looking for a Software Engineer who is excited to develop backend systems that uphold trust, reliability, and smooth onboarding experiences.

Your work will shape the first interactions users have with our platform and support several systems that must operate with a very high level of reliability and accuracy.

You will join a tight-knit team of Engineers who work together on both our long standing Ruby on Rails monolith and our expanding set of Go microservices. A major focus of the team involves shifting core functionality from the monolith into well designed services, and you will help guide this transition as we move toward a more modular architecture.
