🚀 Build the Engine of our Logistics – and Love Where You Work

📍 Role: Senior Software Engineer (WMS)
📍 Location: San Diego, CA 92101 (Onsite 100% at downtown Symphony Towers)
💰 Compensation Range: $145,000–$180,000 DOE

At Luminize, we help brands win. As one of the top 5 Amazon sellers in the US, our physical operations are as critical as our digital ones. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer (P3) to lead the evolution of our Warehouse Management System (WMS). You’ll play a central role in building the operational platform that manages our workflows, shipping, and inventory tracking at scale.

🎯 What You’ll Be Doing

Architectural Evolution: Partner with the Platform Architect to enhance our current WMS and design the next-generation warehouse platform.
Modernize Infrastructure: Lead the migration of legacy functionality (Google Apps Script/Sheets) into a modern backend architecture using Node.js, React, and PostgreSQL.
Full-Stack Development: Design and implement robust backend services, APIs, and integrations that power real-time inventory and order fulfillment.
Operational Resilience: Improve system observability, logging, and monitoring to ensure the platform thrives during high-volume peaks.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Translate complex warehouse processes into scalable software and collaborate with nearshore developers to deliver high-quality features.
Documentation & Mentorship: Document system architecture and technical workflows to reduce operational risk and improve maintainability across the team.

✅ What You Bring

Experience: 5+ years of experience building full-stack systems in production environments (GCP focus).
The Tech Stack: Deep expertise in Node.js / TypeScript and PostgreSQL (schema design, migrations, and query optimization).
Modern Frontend: Demonstrated skill in building responsive web UIs with React optimized for various devices.
Systems Expert: Proven track record of migrating legacy systems to modern stacks and working with event-driven architectures.
Domain Knowledge: Experience with WMS, ERP applications, or fulfillment logistics is highly preferred.
Data Fluency: Exposure to large datasets and modern data tools like BigQuery or Snowflake.
Problem Solver: A "detective" mindset—the ability to identify architectural flaws and define technical needs even when requirements are vague.

Free access to the building gym
Discounts at restaurants and cafes in the tower
