The Software Engineer role at Provn is an exceptional opportunity for individuals looking to make a significant impact in the trucking and freight industry by developing cutting-edge broker technology. As a key contributor to a dynamic and innovative engineering team, you will play a vital role in modernizing how freight brokers interact with carriers, match loads, and execute secure payments at scale. This position is designed for those who thrive in high-ownership, low-process environments and are passionate about designing, building, and maintaining robust systems that drive real-world business outcomes.
By joining Provn as a Software Engineer, you will directly support the evolution of freight brokerage infrastructure, which remains a critical yet often outdated component of modern logistics. With a focus on building scalable and reliable tools, you will help deliver better match rates, seamless integrations with broker Transportation Management Systems (TMS), automated payment processes, and real-time communication solutions. Your technical leadership will help set the standard for code quality, documentation, and collaborative team practices, ensuring that Provn's solutions remain at the forefront of the industry.
This hands-on role involves end-to-end project ownership, from planning and architecture through deployment and ongoing maintenance. You will not be responsible for personnel management but will instead focus on technical leadership, mentoring, and delivering high-quality software. As part of this team, you will engage with complex domains, partner closely with business and product stakeholders, and ensure that all technical dependencies and integrations are managed efficiently and effectively.
The Software Engineer position at Provn is ideal for those with a strong background in software development, particularly with TypeScript and Node.js, and a passion for distributed systems, cloud-native deployments, and high-scale integration work. If you are eager to contribute to the modernization of an industry while enjoying a collaborative and supportive environment, this role offers the platform to demonstrate your skills and advance your career.
