Whether it’s medical supplies from Cardinal Health or groceries for Walmart, the FourKites platform helps customers operate global supply chains that are efficient, agile and sustainable. We are hiring Technical Lead for the most data-intensive parts of our platform: Ocean Visibility and/or Order Inventory Visibility (OV/IV). Select which domain you are drawn to, or let us help you pick. As a Technical Lead you are the engineering owner of your team’s delivery. You are accountable for what ships, when it ships and how well it is built. You will not own headcount, performance reviews, compensation or career ladders — your Engineering Manager does. You operate Who you are: - 8+ years building and operating production software, including 2+ years as a tech lead, staff engineer or equivalent leading a team’s technical delivery. • Deep backend expertise in Java (Spring Boot) and/or Go, with solid fundamentals in distributed systems and object-oriented design. • Hands-on experience designing microservices and event-driven systems — Kafka or similar — including idempotency, ordering, replay and failure handling. • Strong data modelling and SQL skills on PostgreSQL (or equivalent), plus practical experience with caching (Redis) and query/performance tuning at scale.



• Production experience on AWS with containerised deployments, CI/CD and modern observability tooling. • A track record of shipping complex, multi-quarter work on time — and of being the person who found the risk early. • Comfortable with influence rather than authority: you get the team to a better answer without owning anyone’s performance review. • Fluent in Agile delivery and the tooling around it (Jira, Confluence, Git branching and rebasing). • Own delivery • Own the end-to-end technical delivery of your team’s roadmap — from breaking down an epic into sequenced, atomic units of work through to production release. • Run sprint-level execution: identify risk early, surface and clear blockers, and keep commitments honest and predictable. • Drive production health for your services — SLOs, on-call quality, alert hygiene, and root-cause follow-through rather than repeat firefighting. Set technical direction • Own the architecture of your domain: service boundaries, data models, event contracts and integration patterns, aligned with the FourKites North Star architecture. • make the calls that need making and document the trade-offs behind them. •
