Convoy | Software Engineer | Seattle | https://convoy.com/ We're optimizing the trucking and logistics industry; automating what is, today, a $749B industry that still runs on fax machines and phone calls. Currently backed by top tier investors. Read about us: http://fortune.com/2015/10/27/superstar-investors-back-convo... I'm employee #2, and I've been here since we were borrowing desks at a local startup incubator. We've grown a lot since then, but we still have a tight-knit, high leverage engineering team. I love arriving at the office in the morning - I get to work with the smartest folks I've ever met. No company I've ever been at, including Amazon, has felt like this much potential for impact. We would love more engineers, up and down the stack, and anywhere on the generalist <-> specialist spectrum. We use pretty cutting-edge tech (React, React-Native for mobile, TypeScript + Node for backend), but we're a lot more interested in engineering chops than any particular tech skills. If you're in Seattle, reach out and grab coffee with me or one of our other engineers. The last 18 months have been a wild ride, but we have years and years ahead of us to build a logistics titan!
