About Rose Rocket

Rose Rocket 🚀 has built the first AI-native operating system for the transportation industry, helping carriers, brokers, and logistics providers run their business more efficiently, from dispatch and billing to customer visibility and analytics. We're a fast-growing, venture-backed startup taking on the $700+ billion dollar trucking industry, with a 'more human, less corporate' culture built around doing work that matters, winning as a team, and celebrating success. We'd love to hear from you if you want to build this with us.

We understand that joining a team is one of the most important decisions you make ❤️, and adding a team member is one of the most important decisions we'll make. Through our process, we want you to get to know us and understand how you approach problems, learn, and what motivates you.

We are looking for a Junior Software Engineer who is eager to join a dynamic, innovative team and make a real impact in the fast-paced logistics industry. We are an AI Native Engineering organization and are trailblazing software development practices that integrate deeply and pragmatically with the latest AI tools.

Join us in building the backbone of Rose Rocket's next-gen logistics platform! Whether you're creating the scalable frameworks that power our system or using those tools to deliver customer-facing features, you'll work with cutting-edge tech that's transforming the logistics industry. You'll design, build, and ship high-impact functionality—from platform foundations to the features that directly solve our customers' toughest problems.

Why you'll love this job:

- Work alongside experienced engineers in a mentorship-driven environment where learning is built into how we work.

- Deliver key features from concept to delivery and see how your work directly enhances the world of trucking.

- Collaborate with product-focused, cross-functional teams that encourage experimentation and continuous growth.

- Experiment and learn with the latest agentic coding tools and integrate them into your day-to-day workflow.

Technologies that we use (that you'll be exposed to):

- Backend: NodeJS, NestJS, Typescript

- Frontend: React, Websockets

- Database: PostgreSQL, Redis, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch

- Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Github actions

What you need to succeed:

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer or Software Engineering, or a related field.

- Curiosity and openness to learn new domains beyond coding.

- Driven to deliver customer value / outcome.

- You build with AI coding agents such as Claude Code or Cursor or any agentic coding tool. Show us a project where an agent wrote most of the code. Tell us how you planned the work, how you checked the output, and what you changed.

- Experience with agile project management tools (JIRA, Asana, Linear, or equivalent).
