Requirements

Deep Infios expertise
Proven, hands-on experience configuring Infios TMS, CARMA, and related products including integrations and data flows
Strong understanding of transportation execution concepts (shipment lifecycle events, exceptions, milestones, service levels, carrier/service configuration, rates).
Proven ability to migrate configurations across environments reliably (including dependency management, version control/release packaging, and validation).
Excellent communication skills — able to translate between “user” and “developer” with clarity and empathy.
Bachelor’s degree in Programming/Systems or Computer Science or other related field. Or equivalent work experience.
Typically requires 8 or more years of application programming and analysis experience.
Has a broad level of understanding surrounding information systems and application architecture standards.
Experience in leading projects.
Demonstrated ability to analyze and interpret complex problems or processes that span multiple business areas, identify and understand requirements and develop alternate solutions.
Experience designing, developing and testing applications using proven or emerging technologies, in a variety of technologies and environments
Advanced programming skills in several programming languages
Advanced understanding of relational database design and theory
Ability to translate complicated business requirements into multiple solution options and explain the pros/cons of various approaches
Advanced knowledge of Object-Orient Design Patterns and use cases for applying them
Proficient communication skills and experience in mentoring/leading junior developers
Technical experience with systems networking, databases, development, and user support.
Good background in Data Base design (e.g. Microsoft SQL and Access)

Nice To Haves

Experience in specialty logistics, cold-chain, clinical trials, or other time-critical, high-service networks.
Familiarity with change control practices and documentation expectations in regulated or highly governed environments.
Comfort with data validation and analysis (e.g., structured files such as CSV/XML/JSON/EDI).
Exposure to servers technology (e.g. IBM Power 8) would be helpful to assist with integration
Experience with WMS application (e.g. Inbound, Outbound, Pick pack and ship processes) preferred but not required.

Responsibilities

Lead Infios configuration delivery
Design, build, and optimize Infios TMS configurations including workflows, rules, master data structures, and rate logic to support global specialty logistics.
Perform unit testing and peer reviews of configuration changes (e.g., rules, workflows, rates, master data impacts), ensuring expected behavior across core logistics scenarios while maintaining consistency with standards, performance considerations, and maintainability.
Facilitate meetings and give product demonstrations.
Promote safe, repeatable deployments
Plan and execute configuration migrations between environments (e.g., dev/test/staging/prod) using established tools and processes, validating completeness, dependencies, and version alignment.
Integration confidence
Partner with integration teams and vendors to support TMS connectivity and data flows (EDI/API/file-based), ensuring configurations align with mapping, events, statuses, and orchestration across systems.
Translate needs into configuration-first solutions
Work closely with other teams to turn business requirements into scalable Infios design patterns (configuration over customization where possible).
Contribute to configuration standards, reusable patterns, documentation, and governance that increase delivery speed without sacrificing quality.
