• Lead the architecture and development of the Last Meter product, consisting of a client SDK, server REST APIs, and data operations (ETL processes and ML and other algorithms).

• Build robust APIs that bridge our ML models, geospatial data systems, and user-facing interfaces.

• Design and implement algorithms for delivery route optimization, data analysis, and logistics intelligence.

• Collaborate closely with the engineering manager, product team, and Last Meter engineering team to translate complex requirements into elegant technical solutions.

• Develop data processing pipelines and use cloud-based data storage.

• Own the deployment infrastructure, working with Kubernetes and GitLab CI/CD pipelines to ensure reliable, automated releases.

• Mentor team members through code reviews, pair programming, and technical guidance.

• Make key technical decisions around architecture, technology choices, and development practices.

• Balance feature delivery with technical excellence, ensuring maintainable and scalable codebases.

NOTE: This is an individual contributor role.

Who are you?

• 8 years of software engineering experience with strong full-stack web development skills.

• Expertise in TypeScript for building modern web applications (React, Vue, or similar frameworks).

• Proven ability to build and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines.

• Experience building RESTful or GraphQL APIs for web applications.

• Strong algorithmic thinking and experience developing data analysis solutions.

• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently on complex technical challenges.

Would be a plus:

• Background in location services, GIS, delivery logistics, or data analysis domains.

• Experience with geospatial databases and libraries.

• Familiarity with DevOps and MLOps practices.

• Experience building map-based interfaces or route planning tools.
