The Opportunity

DAT is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Carrier Network Integrtiy team in Seattle.

Trust is the backbone of trucking. The Carrier Network Integrity team exists so brokers can book loads with confidence in who they're working with, and carriers find legitimate work without friction. This team owns initiatives to protect the network from fraud and bad actors while making compliance and verification feel effortless, not adversarial. As a new team, you’ll work across DAT and the technical stack to harden and expand key carrier data sources and create greenfield services for fraud actioning and investigation. For our customers, that means a network where legitimate carriers move freely and bad actors don't get a foothold - setting a new standard for trust in freight.

You are someone who

• Demonstrates pride, ownership, and accountability for your work, and expect the same from those you work with
• Shares opinions openly on what's working and what's not across the product, tech stack, and team processes

• Seeks feedback early and often in the development process
• Collaborates effectively and empathetically across different roles such as Design, Operations and Product
• Identifies speed vs quality tradeoffs and balances them judiciously
• Believes diverse teams make better decisions, and actively fosters a culture where every person can do their best work

What You’ll Do

• Work across the stack from UI to database
• Leverage AWS to deliver efficient, cloud-native solutions
• Design and develop code that is reliable, maintainable, and extendable
• Participate in design/code reviews
• Translate business needs and requirements into technical specifications
• Review functional requirements and analyze their impact on schedule and software design
• Document software designs and project tasks
• Work with team members to improve development processes and practices

The Skills and Experience You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of professional software development experience in designing, building, scaling, and maintaining production systems
• Strong knowledge in web and native technologies like Node.js, TypeScript, and at least one modern web framework.
• Experience leading a team of engineers as a project lead
• Experience with Git version control, CI/CD pipelines, and release management practices
• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Technology or equivalent experience

We'd be extra excited if

• You have deep experience across at least two areas of the tech stack (backend, infrastructure, data, etc)
• You have prior experience with risk decisioning systems
• You have 0->1 AND 1->n experience with starting and scaling initiatives.
