Remote
Responsibilities
- Build with incremental ambition : Weâre often better off with a shipped feature this week than we are waiting around for the perfect solution.
- System Design : Collaborate with our part-time architect to design robust data models, scalable approaches, and API integrations (e.g., integrating third-party ELD normalization platforms like Terminal).
- Design âNot-Too-Shabbyâ Frontends : Itâs 2026, thereâs no reason to ship an ugly UI or a poor user experience.
Requirements
- In the last 4 years weâve successfully transitioned from DOS systems and dot matrix printers to streamlined processes and web-based systems using contract developers and our own technical abilities.
- Youâll embed with the client service team to identify friction points, help design the solution, and direct AI agents to execute the build.
- You won't be writing every line of code by hand, but you must be a master of the craft to validate, refactor, and secure what the AI produces.
- Core Apps : Ruby on Rails (our primary fuel tax app, FM22), Laravel (authority filings), and Express/React (Authority work order management).Â
- Data & Infra : PostgreSQL, a variety of hosts (Render, DigitalOcean, etc), and various no-code/low-code integrations (Airtable, Zapier, Make).
- Testing & Deployment : Own the testing suite. You are responsible for ensuring that AI-generated code is maintainable and solves the business problem before it hits production.
- Youâve developed deep domain knowledge in the past
- You are âstack-agnosticâ. You should be comfortable moving between Rails, Laravel, and Python depending on the tool needed for the job, even if you have a preference for one over the other.
- This is a beta feature to avoid spam applicants.
Additional details
- We are a trucking compliance business started in 1973.
- About 18 months ago, the owner started vibing with Replit Agent and Claude Code to ship internal tools, integrations, and web applications across our brands.
- While thatâs been fruitful as a proof-of-concept, the business owner is currently the primary builder, which is a terrible spot for a business owner to be.
- We need a "Builder-in-Chief" to own the entire product lifecycle.
- Weâll make sure you have the tools and an environment to do your best work.
- Because of our âjust go with itâ strategy, our stack has gotten wide.
- Weâd like you to help us shape the stack going forward using your expertise.
- Agent Orchestration : You will leverage the 3Câs: Claude, Cursor, and Codex to ship features while maintaining high code quality through rigorous review. Core Responsibilities
- Operational Deep-Dives : You won't be bogged down writing lengthy
- requirements documents; your focus is on understanding the work.
