Senior Software Engineer — Heavy-Materials

About XBE XBE builds operations software for heavy-materials, logistics, and construction companies — industries with complex, high-stakes workflows that still run on spreadsheets, phone calls, and legacy tools. Our platform manages dispatching, ticketing, scheduling, GPS tracking, billing, and operational analytics across thousands of daily jobs. We’re a fully remote, high-trust team that values ownership, clarity, and measurable outcomes. Engineers at XBE work on real, high-impact problems: performance at fleet scale, geospatial intelligence, multi-tenant data models, and reliability for mission-critical field operations. Role overview You will build reliable, scalable features that power logistics and operational workflows for heavy-materials and construction customers. The work spans modern TypeScript and React, GraphQL services, Postgres-first data modeling, and integrations across identity, messaging, background jobs, and cloud services. You’ll collaborate with product, infrastructure, and engineering peers to deliver secure, observable, high-quality systems on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Key responsibilities - Build cross-platform features with TypeScript, React, Next.js App Router (client + server runtimes). - Lead GraphQL design and implementation: client integrations, server schemas, federation, and codegen (TypeGraphQL, mst-gql, drizzle-graphql or equivalents). - Model Postgres using Drizzle and Prisma; design multi-tenant schemas. Support MongoDB and Redis where appropriate. - Implement background jobs and orchestration (Bull/Redis); integrate identity providers (Clerk, Azure AD/MSAL, Passport/JWT). - Design and operate messaging/notification systems (Svix, SendGrid, Slack) and cloud integrations (Google Maps, Google Cloud Storage). - Ensure quality and observability with Sentry, Prometheus, Docker/Kubernetes, and reusable GitLab CItemplates. - Operate production services on GCP: deployments, monitoring, secrets, and incident response. - Mentor peers, run code reviews, and raise engineering standards. - Plan work, break projects into milestones, mitigate risks, and communicate status. Required qualifications - Advanced TypeScript & React; modern Next.js App Router experience. - Deep GraphQL expertise across client/server, federation, and codegen toolchains. - Postgres modeling with Drizzle and Prisma; multi-tenant design. Familiar with MongoDB and Redis. - Systems-integration experience: Bull/Redis, identity providers, Svix/SendGrid/Slack, Google Maps/GCS. - Hands-on with Sentry, Prometheus, Docker/Kubernetes, and GitLab CI templating. - GCP experience — mandatory. - 5+ years’ professional software development; strong testing, CI/CD, and incident experience. - Clear written and verbal communication. Nice to have - Experience leading small engineering teams or mentoring engineers. - Monorepo experience (turborepo/pnpm), AI/LLM integrations, or prior construction-tech domain work. - Familiarity with GKE, Cloud Run, Workflows, BigQuery, or Cloud Spanner. What great looks like - Systems thinking and delivery ownership (design → ship → monitor → iterate). - Observability & quality first: tests, SLOs, alerts, and blameless postmortems. - API & DX discipline: clear GraphQL schemas, typed client/server contracts, and developer-friendly CI. - Security & privacy minded: secure coding and least-privilege patterns. - Mentorship & leadership: able to coach peers; team-lead experience is a plus but not required. - High agency: autonomous, async collaboration and proactive unblocking. Success indicators - Cross-platform features shipped on schedule. - Stable GraphQL schemas and high codegen coverage. - Critical services meet SLOs; MTTD/MTTR improve. - Reusable CI templates adopted and operational toil reduced. What we offer Fully remote role with flexible hours, competitive compensation, transparent growth paths, and meaningful ownership of product outcomes.
