We are looking for a highly talented software development manager to lead our software team in Boston, MA. In this role, you will partner with business and technical teams to design and document requirements, and develop technical strategies and software roadmaps for delivery of features. You will be leading a passionate group of engineers in architecting and developing large scale distributed technology solutions and also innovating new ideas and providing technology directions to our business in the domain of imports and exports logistics. We have many key initiatives lined-up to support our rapid evolution and growth of international transportation network by solving some of the most challenging problems in this domain.
