About the role

What will you do at Echo Global Logistics?

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be a technical leader who architects and delivers complex, cloud-native solutions that advance our platform transformation. You will drive the adoption of serverless-first patterns and modern engineering practices while mentoring engineers across the organization. You will tackle our most challenging technical problems and make architectural decisions that impact multiple teams and systems.

In this role, you will

be an expert in GoLang and Python, designing high-performance microservices and event-driven architectures on AWS. You will lead technical initiatives, establish patterns for AI/ML integration, and champion practices that improve system reliability, scalability, and security. You will conduct architectural reviews, elevate code quality through mentorship and rigorous code reviews, and serve as a technical resource for your team and adjacent teams. You will have deep expertise in serverless technologies and understand how to balance innovation with operational excellence.
Your responsibilities will include owning complex technical domains, influencing engineering standards, driving incident retrospectives, and ensuring solutions meet our reliability and scalability targets. You will collaborate closely with Distinguished Engineers, architects, and product leadership to align technical decisions with business strategy. You will model a culture that values engineering excellence, scope discipline, and practical problem-solving—where "reliable, accurate, scalable, and trusted" takes precedence over theoretical perfection. You will communicate technical concepts effectively to diverse audiences and build consensus across the organization.
