About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own implementations end to end. From the first technical onboarding call to a customer running ZoomLogi in production, you own it. Data integration, configuration, sensor and carrier setup, workflow design against each customer’s SOPs, troubleshooting, and the ongoing optimization that keeps a deployment healthy.
Integrate against the real world. The platform connects to 50+ external systems: carriers, IoT sensors, forwarders, telematics, weather, flight data, customer ERPs. Most don’t have clean APIs. Some claim a shipment is delivered while the GPS shows it still in transit. Some go silent without warning. You’ll build integrations that hold up against that messiness and feed patterns back into a framework that lets the next one ship in days.
Ship code into the core platform. This is not a configuration-only role. You’ll contribute features and improvements across our Python backend and TypeScript/React frontend, alongside engineering.
Close the feedback loop. You’ll be in customer calls constantly, because what you hear there is what should get built.
Carry GTM impact. You’ll help identify opportunities inside accounts and drive deals to close.

Requirements

What you’ll need

2-10 years of professional experience as a forward deployed engineer, full-stack engineer, solutions/implementation engineer, or in a similar role where you’ve owned customer-facing technical work.
Genuinely full-stack: comfortable across backend, frontend, and APIs, and able to ship production code on a small senior team.
Strong in TypeScript/React and Python, or close enough to ramp quickly.
Understand data modeling and API design, and you’ve done real integration work (APIs, ETL, webhooks, file feeds) and debugged it in production.
Comfortable running technical onboarding and scoping integrations directly with customers.
Based in San Francisco or Chicago and excited about being in the office.
