At Terminal, we believe the logistics yard is the last great untapped frontier in supply chain technology — a space still run on clipboards, radios, and guesswork. Yet these yards move the trucks, trailers, chassis, and containers that power global commerce. Unlocking yard-level data is foundational to improving efficiency, sustainability, and scalability across the supply chain.
That’s why we’re building the world’s first AI-powered Yard Operating System (YOS), a platform that digitizes, automates, and orchestrates everything that happens in the yard. Powered by our Terminal Vision Engine and best-in-class machine learning, we give operators real-time visibility, intelligence, and control to slash dwell times, eliminate phantom costs, and boost throughput.
The result? Safer, smarter, faster yards — and the chance to redefine a trillion-dollar industry from the ground up. Backed by top-tier investors and partnered with leading global logistics companies, we’re not just solving problems, we’re creating the category standard.
Joining Terminal means joining a team that’s rewriting the rules of modern logistics. If you want to make a tangible impact on how goods move through the global supply chain, this is an opportunity to do meaningful work at a pivotal stage of growth.
We're looking for a Full-Stack Software Engineer to join our Yardstar product team. This role spans the entire stack — from Go backend services, PostgreSQL databases, and infrastructure to React/TypeScript frontends. You'll work in a monorepo environment, shipping features end-to-end across API, database, UI, and infrastructure layers.
You'll take ownership across the full stack — from infrastructure and backend systems to the product UI — building Go services, designing PostgreSQL schemas, and shipping TypeScript/React features end-to-end. This is a high-impact seat where your work shapes core platform reliability, developer tooling, and the product experience our customers rely on every day.
Responsibilities:Build and extend mission control workflows powered by Temporal (signals, cancellation, step-level timeouts, hierarchical designations, milestone tracking).
Deliver features across Go APIs, PostgreSQL migrations, React/TypeScript UIs, and OpenFGA permissions — often in a single PR.
Design and maintain API services on Cloudflare Workers with D1 databases, including carrier search/lookup APIs with hybrid schemas.
Consolidate multiple data sources (e.g., US SAFER + Canadian carrier data) into unified, well-documented API endpoints.
Improve migration workflows, CI validation (timestamp checks, SQL linting), and branch-aware tooling.
Add OpenTelemetry tracing and metrics to critical workflow paths.
Coordinate multi-service releases with operations teams, communicate downtime windows, and hotfix in real time during go-live events.
Experience: Solid professional software engineering experience across the full stack, with a focus on Go (Golang) backend services, PostgreSQL databases, TypeScript/React frontends, and infrastructure. You build and own features end-to-end with a high degree of craft and reliability.
Infrastructure & Deployment: Experience designing and operating production infrastructure in a cloud environment. Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, CDK) and CI/CD pipelines. Comfort owning deployment reliability, scaling, and incident response across services.
Backend & API: Strong proficiency in Go (Golang) with experience building and maintaining production-grade services. Comfortable with RESTful API design including bulk operations and authentication (JWT, service tokens), middleware, and structured logging. Experience with PostgreSQL schema design, migrations, and query optimization.
Data Layer: Experience with multi-source data consolidation and building unified, well-documented API endpoints. Comfort with data safety tooling and CI validation (e.g., timestamp checks, SQL linting).
Frontend: Proficiency in TypeScript and React (component architecture, state management, responsive UI). Experience with Vite and modern frontend build tooling. Ability to implement filters, polling, error boundaries, and form-heavy UIs.
Edge & Observability: Experience with edge computing environments and low-latency API patterns. Familiarity with OpenTelemetry or similar observability tooling.
Cross-Cutting: Comfortable working in a monorepo with multiple deployable services. Familiarity with OpenFGA or similar authorization frameworks.
Communication & Collaboration: Ability to clearly communicate deployment risks and downtime to non-technical stakeholders. Triage live production issues in real time while keeping operations teams informed. Proactively share tooling discoveries and architectural context across team channels.
Preferred but Not Required6+ years of professional software engineering experience with a demonstrated track record of end-to-end ownership across the full stack.
Experience in logistics, transportation, or yard/warehouse management domains.
Track record of shipping end-to-end features solo across 3+ layers of the stack.
Backend proficiency in a statically typed language other than Go (Rust, Java, Kotlin) with demonstrated ability to ramp quickly on new languages.
Comfort with Python scripting for tooling and data pipelines.
Experience leveraging AI coding assistants (Claude, Copilot) as part of daily workflow.
Experience with Temporal workflow orchestration (signals, cancellation, activity patterns, step-level timeouts).
Experience deploying and operating services on AWS (EC2, ECS, Lambda, RDS, S3, or similar).
Experience with Cloudflare Workers and edge computing (D1, KV, edge caching) for low-latency API services.
Comfort building application layers that integrate with computer vision or ML pipeline outputs, wiring model results into product workflows and UI surfaces.
Comfort engaging directly with field operations teams and customer-facing stakeholders during live production rollouts.
Joining the Terminal team means being part of a dynamic, innovative environment where your work directly shapes the future of logistics and the global supply chain. You will work closely with a team of experts passionate about operational excellence and technological innovation. We offer competitive salaries, a comprehensive benefits package, and opportunities for professional growth.
