About Toro TMS
We are Toro TMS, a growth-stage startup working to build the modern operating system for trucking. Our focus is squarely on building the best-in-class, end-to-end transportation management software (TMS) for bulk commodity haulers.
About the role
We are growing our fully remote Engineering team and looking for an entrepreneurial, product-minded Senior Software Engineer to join our team. The right person will be driven, curious, and have a builder’s mentality. Joining Toro TMS means becoming a partner in solving interesting, challenging problems for our users. This person will work alongside a team of exceptionally experienced engineers (our current engineers have an average of 10+ years of experience and come from best practice companies like Google, Appfolio, Procore, and Lattice). This is a full-time role.
How we work:
- We are fanatical about understanding our domain and our users and solving their problems.
- We prioritize cross-functional collaboration with our product management and UX counterparts.
- We are highly productive. We get a lot done.
- We are scrappy but not hacky. We bias towards action in the absence of perfect information. We ship small, we ship fast, and we learn as quickly as possible.
- We strike an appropriate balance between quality and velocity, making thoughtful trade offs with a good understanding of the consequences of our choices.
- We proactively identify what needs to be done and do it, seeking clarification and more information when necessary. We do not wait to be told what to do.
- We see work through to completion while minimizing delays and distractions. We limit the amount of work-in-progress in favor of delivering tasks more efficiently with less context switching.
- We align our efforts to the goals and priorities of the team and the needs of the business, avoiding “Cowboy Coder” mentality, vanity projects, and other work that does not deliver meaningful value for our customers and the business.
- We actively engage in team discussions, bringing ideas, insights, and thoughtful questions that support our goal of building a best-in-class product.
- We eagerly jump in when needed to support colleagues across all areas of the business, including our engineering peers. We favor high bandwidth communication and regularly use pair programming to accelerate delivery, context sharing, and decision making.
- We value bringing discussions to a decision. We endeavor to strike an effective balance between divergent brainstorming and outcome-focused discussions. We allow space for others to share ideas.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.
