Software Engineer Generalist

Role Description

Supply chain is broken. It's the basis of our entire economy, but it (barely) runs entirely on Excel and email. The best in class purpose-built tools are so old-school that nobody bothers using them. Sales people have Salesforce, HR has Workday, and Accounting has SAP. Us software people have the best tools because we know our problems and we're able to solve them!

You could help build the future of supply chain software using the bleeding edge of what the web and cloud have to offer.

Our team is small, but our ambitions are big. So we only hire the absolute best and try to learn every day while having a lot of fun.

Requirements
  • 2+ years of software experience

  • Clear communicator

  • Ability to break down abstract problems into concrete solutions
