Convoy | Software Engineers | Seattle, WA | Full-Time | ONSITE https://convoy.com https://convoy.com Help us optimize trucking and logistics - a $800B industry that still runs on fax machines and phone calls. We would love more engineers, up and down the stack, and anywhere on the generalist <-> specialist spectrum. We use pretty cutting-edge tech (React, React Native, TypeScript, Node, GraphQL), but we're more interested in engineering chops than any particular tech skills. I've been here since the beginning (over two years now). The team has grown quickly, but we still have a tight-knit and incredibly smart group of engineers. We have an endless supply of interesting problems including machine learning, service architecture, mobile/desktop/web UX, complicated business modeling, and much more. Some of our backers include Y Combinator (Continuity Fund), the founders of Amazon and Microsoft, and Greylock Partners.

If you're interested in hearing more, reach out and grab coffee with me or one of our other developers. Help us grow an amazing tech team from a very early point in our company's history! http://jobs.convoy.com http://jobs.convoy.com

I'm interested in reaching out to you, but I don't see contact info for you in your profile. It'd have to be virtual coffee; I'm not in Seattle at the moment.

Super interesting. Bookmarking for a potential move to Seattle in 6-12 months.

  Don't underestimate the rain in winter. I moved here 9 months ago. Toughest few months of my life.

    Surely better than snow in winter. I prefer the weather I saw in Vancouver to the weather in Toronto any day.

      No way. Rain is wet and you can't do anything in it, it gets gloomy after a day. Snow enables all kinds of activities and you can dress for it and clean up by brushing yourself off, it's so beautiful it takes weeks or months before it gets gloomy.

    It is so rainy recently, wait no it's not. In fact, I've learned many places in Seattle don't have air conditioning, I can't wait until the rain starts up again.

      Last October '16 was greatest total volume of rain to fall and November was darkest (lowest UV penetration). Fall/Winter are tough here especially if you're impacted by Seasonal Affected Disorder (SAD).
