Senior Software Engineer (Python/React)

Architect the Future of Logistics: Senior Full Stack Software Engineer!

About Us

Trimble is a leading provider of technology solutions that connect the physical and digital worlds. Transporeon, part of Trimble's Transportation & Logistics division, operates one of the world's largest freight collaboration platforms, processing millions of transport orders annually across global markets.

About The Role

Join our Autonomous Procurement - Applications & API Team as a Senior Software Engineer to design and build full-stack features that power robust applications and APIs that enable efficient procurement and carrier management. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies including machine learning and large language models to deliver intelligent, automated solutions using React, Python, AWS, and Azure. Our globally distributed, async-first team values autonomy, quality craftsmanship, and pragmatic problem-solving. We prioritize deep work by defaulting to Slack & Notion for collaboration, keeping synchronous meetings to a purposeful minimum. We ship iteratively, prioritize clear communication, and believe in raising the engineering bar through continuous engineering excellence and career development.

About Autonomous Procurement

You’ll be developing and owning solutions that power our Autonomous Procurement (AP) platform—our next-generation closed-spot procurement product that enables shippers to efficiently source transport capacity from their trusted carrier networks. AP delivers significant value to our customers by streamlining procurement workflows, reducing manual effort, and accelerating time-to-award while maintaining full control over their carrier selection.

Responsibilities

Design and implement highly available, scalable backend services and APIs that orchestrate complex procurement workflows across distributed systems (REST; service-to-service communication; event-driven architectures)

Architect resilient service designs and data models that handle high-volume transaction processing, ensuring performance under load and graceful degradation

Continuously improve reliability, performance, and scalability through profiling, observability, and load testing

Implement comprehensive security, data protection, and fault-tolerance patterns for critical procurement operations

Build and optimize asynchronous task processing pipelines for automated procurement decisions and carrier notifications

Design caching strategies, database optimization, and service orchestration patterns to achieve sub-second response times at scale

Build, test, and ship user-facing web experiences with high performance and accessibility

Contribute in architecting and designing scalable frontend architecture

Own entire features from specification to shipping, including technical planning, estimation, and rollout

Collaborate with product managers and designers to shape solutions and deliver iteratively

Work effectively with a high degree of autonomy in a globally distributed, async-first team

Participate in code reviews, raise engineering standards, and reduce technical debt through pragmatic refactors

Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate feature delivery, refactoring, and debugging while maintaining code quality, test coverage, and system observability

Mentor junior developers and help establish coding standards and best practices

Requirements

5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including meaningful ownership of production systems

Strong backend experience building services in Python (Python 3) in cloud environments (AWS)

Experience with common backend patterns and tools (Flask, Celery, PyTest or similar)

Solid database skills with PostgreSQL (schema design, indexing, query performance)

Familiarity with distributed systems and microservices architecture; ability to reason about tradeoffs

Experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Gemini CLI etc.) to accelerate delivery while maintaining high engineering standards (clear intent, good tests, safe changes, and debuggable code)

Solid Frontend experience building modern web apps (React preferred; Angular/Vue acceptable)

Deep understanding of JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and SCSS; strong UX/UI instincts and accessibility basics

Experience designing and consuming REST APIs (versioning, pagination, error handling, auth patterns)

Experience with CI/CD, testing strategies (unit/integration/e2e), and code quality practices

Strong written communication skills and comfort working asynchronously across time zones

Bonus Points For

State management and UI tooling: Redux, re-select, redux-saga, Storybook

Frontend testing: Jest, Testing Library, TestCafe

Observability and search: ElasticSearch, CloudWatch, Datadog

Containers and tooling: Docker, Terraform
