Senior Engineering Manager, Fintech

Seattle, Washington, United States

DAT Freight & Analytics is an award-winning employer of choice and a next-generation SaaS technology company that has been at the leading edge of freight and logistics innovation for nearly five decades. Founded in 1978, DAT operates the largest freight marketplace in North America — processing 250 million+ load posts annually and maintaining one of the largest repositories of freight market transaction data in the world.

On a defined path to $1 billion in revenue, DAT deploys a suite of software solutions, machine learning models, and intelligent automation tools that help brokers, carriers, and shippers price freight accurately, source capacity, reduce risk, and operate more efficiently. With nearly 700 teammates across offices in Denver, CO;
Portland, OR;
Seattle, WA;
Springfield, MO;
Toronto, ON; and Bangalore, India, DAT combines the credibility of a multi-decade market leader with the drive of a company that is not done disrupting the industry it helped build.

We're a fast-growing team tackling a massive opportunity: the $800B US freight market. This industry comprises 1.6 million carriers, with 95% being small businesses operating 10 or fewer trucks. These hard-working business owners often face tight margins while being forced to rely on predatory financial products laden with exorbitant rates, hidden fees, and restrictive contracts.

At DAT Outgo, we're changing that. We're building an intelligent fintech platform from the ground up that truly understands the unique needs of trucking businesses. Our platform operates with radical transparency and fairness, optimizing cash flow to help truckers save more and grow their businesses.

Join our dynamic team at DAT in our mission to level the playing field and empower America's truckers with the financial tools they deserve.

The Outgo engineering team is at the heart of revolutionizing financial services for truckers. We build robust, fault-tolerant systems that make real-time decisions and manage money flows with bank-grade reliability. Our technology transforms the accounts receivable process through intelligent automation and visualization, multiplying our operations team's effectiveness. For our customers, we craft intuitive, trustworthy applications that set a new standard for financial services.

Our modern tech stack is built on Go (golang) powered by AWS infrastructure. We leverage cutting-edge tools including Temporal, Postgres, LLMs and Grafana to deliver exceptional results.

Our seasoned engineering team brings deep experience from both successful startups and leading enterprises.

Here, you'll find a culture that values:

• Technical craft and engineering excellence
• Intellectual curiosity and continuous learning
• Strong team collaboration and camaraderie
• Individual autonomy and ownership

• Demonstrates pride, ownership, and accountability for your team's outcomes, and builds that same sense of ownership in the engineers you lead
• Shares opinions openly on what's working and what's not across the product, tech stack, and team processes, and creates the safety for your team to do the same
• Builds feedback loops into how the team works, coaching engineers to seek input early and often rather than waiting until the end
• Guides the team through speed vs quality tradeoffs, making the reasoning explicit so the right call is clear even under pressure
• Actively fosters a culture where every person can do their best work, and grows people toward the next step in their careers
