Expeditors is looking for a software developer to help us build our emerging warehouse management system. (See more details in the Description section below.)

The team you would be joining is doing green-field development work on a warehouse management system for our global network of transportation warehouses.  You would be making a difference for end users in hundreds of warehouses around the world. The web application runs on Android-based mobile scanning devices, as well as on PC's. The system is widely used, but still in its infancy. Much functionality still needs to be built to handle all aspects of our warehouse operations in multiple countries. Our team works regularly with our end users across the globe to determine their greatest needs.  Each new feature that is released is well-received by a hungry audience.  

WORKING ON OUR TEAM - WHAT TO EXPECT:

Team structure  

You would be part of one of two small agile teams that are working on the transportation warehouse management system. Each team typically has 2-3 developers, plus 1-2 QA engineers, a Product Owner, and a Scrum Master. There is also a UX designer, SDET, an architect, and a Program Manager that work with both teams.

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 d ily 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.
