Teams with open Software Engineering positions:
Carrier team
The Carrier team is a core outcome team at Rose Rocket. They develop features and workflows for our Carrier customers, who are typically trucking companies that have equipment such as trucks and directly handle orders. The team's goal is to improve the experience of our Carrier customers, making their work easier and more efficient.
Enterprise Carrier Team
The Enterprise Carrier team builds workflows, data models, and features to support some of Rose Rocket’s largest customers: transcontinental carriers with fleets of hundreds or even thousands of trucks. These are sophisticated accounts, with multiple complex lines of business. Our team’s job is to understand these lines of business, and to make software that accommodates them in all their complexity. And also to make difficult tasks easy.
Broker Team
The Broker team is one of Rose Rocket’s core outcome teams driven to develop our TMS towards broker customers. Brokers are one of the two types of customers we support. They help shippers coordinate with carriers, who carry out the deliveries. The team is responsible for building and improving features with Brokers in mind so that they get the very best user experience as well as making their business as efficient as possible.
Enterprise Broker Team
The Enterprise Broker team makes software to support high-value, high-volume freight brokerages and third-party logistics vendors (3PLs). There are many, many ways to move freight, and many ways to link shippers with carriers, and our customers do them all with Rose Rocket. We thrive on the challenges we know about, and we’re excited about the ones we’ll encounter tomorrow.
