Employer job description
From Clera's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
About the Role
This is a senior individual contributor role on a small integrations team building the backend services behind a cold-chain risk-management platform used in pharma and perishables logistics. You will own data-heavy distributed systems that contextualize IoT monitoring data, quantify shipment risk in real time, and power predictive workflows at scale. The work is high-leverage and directly impacts whether temperature-sensitive shipments arrive safely and on time.
What You'll Do
- Design and build backend services that drive a logistics orchestration and decision-intelligence platform.
- Own end-to-end partner data flows, from multi-vendor IoT data ingestion and normalization through warehousing, observability, and on-call support.
- Build and maintain event-driven architectures using messaging systems such as Kafka or RabbitMQ.
- Develop predictive systems for on-time, in-full (OTIF) performance and automate exception-handling workflows.
- Design and integrate external partner APIs, webhooks, queues, carrier feeds, sensor streams, and vendor connections.
- Deploy and operate containerized services on cloud infrastructure, maintaining reliability standards appropriate for mission-critical logistics use cases.
- Collaborate closely with leadership and cross-functional teammates at a growth-stage startup where your work ships fast and has real visibility.
What We're Looking For
- 5 or more years of backend engineering experience building scalable distributed systems.
- Hands-on proficiency in Python and TypeScript/Node.js; strong Java experience is a plus.
- Demonstrated experience owning external partner-facing operational data integrations end to end, rather than purely internal, DevOps, ETL-only, or general full-stack work.
- Experience with IoT data ingestion, processing, and contextualization.
- Strong SQL skills and depth in relational data modeling; familiarity with NoSQL databases is a plus.
- Experience with API design and development using REST and/or gRPC.
- Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration.
- Experience deploying and operating services on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
- Solid software engineering practices: testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and observability.
- Ability to operate independently as a senior IC on a lean team.
- Domain knowledge in logistics, cold chain, supply chain, or IoT is a strong plus.
- Prior experience at a growth-stage or Series A company is a plus.
- Familiarity with data security, privacy, or regulatory considerations relevant to pharma or cold-chain domains is a plus.
