About Cargo Services, IS Operational Experience

Our software business systems are built to provide efficiency and functionality to our branches, allowing Expeditors to provide outstanding customer service and competitive rates. Our internal and external systems are an integrated suite of collaborative supply chain software applications that are designed to assist our operations teams and customers in managing international and domestic shipping challenges. 

The Cartage Team will be doing greenfield development work to create a new system that will manage local freight movement, including initial freight pickup, transfers between facilities, and final delivery.  It is part of the Cargo Services group, which is responsible for developing core business applications that enable our world-wide network to efficiently manage and transport freight via collaborative internal and customer facing systems.

Job Description

Expeditors is looking for a software developer to help us build our Cartage system.

What you will be doing:

• Playing a key role on a collaborative project team, responsible for the design and production of mission critical, enterprise-scale business systems
• Translating requirements into system design specifications and the implementation of systems throughout the entire software development life cycle
• Developing a thorough understanding of the logistics business domain
• Maintaining an awareness of evolving technologies in use by other teams at Expeditors and in the technology industry as a whole

Working on our team - what to expect:

Team structure

You would be part of an agile team working on building the new Cartage system. The team will ultimately have 3-4 developers, 1-2 QA engineers, a Product Owner, and a Scrum Master. 

Your first weeks

We would get you set up with your development environment, and start to show you around the system. Various members of the team would train you on different aspects of the software and the business. You would probably start out with some smaller bugs to work on to get your feet wet, and then start to take on larger stories.

What a typical work day looks like

Outside of our short daily scrum meetings, developers spend most of their time either developing, or collaborating with other team members. During each two-week sprint there are meetings for backlog grooming, sprint planning, a sprint demo, and a retrospective.

Our philosophy

Our team encourages people to take the time to help others, both within our team and across the organization. This provides opportunities to learn from many people, and makes work a more enjoyable place. We want our team members to love their job and feel supported by each other. We believe in a reasonable work/life balance, and go out of our way to provide employees with a stable place to grow their careers. We view failure as an opportunity to learn. We strive to provide help when asked, but avoid micromanaging. We favor decentralized decision making whenever possible. We value diversity in all its forms, and believe it makes for a more successful team. We make our hiring decisions irrespective of age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, race, religion, or belief.

This position will sit in the Seattle, WA area. Candidates must be local or willing to relocate.
