About The Position

We’re scaling quickly and looking for a Platforms Engineer to architect, build, and scale the foundational infrastructure that powers logistics around the world. This isn’t just another DevOps or infra role: You’ll own and evolve the core platform systems that process millions of carrier quotes and thousands of automated transactions weekly. You’ll design infrastructure that enables freight brokers to reach 50%+ load digitization, transforming one of the world’s largest and most operationally complex industries. You’ll play a critical role in supporting next-generation AI systems like CoDriver, our GenAI-powered suite that accelerates automation from weeks to days. Your work will ensure Parade’s services scale reliably, securely, and with exceptional performance as we expand rapidly. We need strong platform engineering leadership to keep our systems resilient, observable, and ready for the next phase of growth.

• Deep understanding of distributed systems, queues, and async workloads (e.g., Google Pub/Sub, Celery, RabbitMQ).
