Director of Software Engineering

GenLogs is a transportation-technology company building the next generation of truck intelligence. Through a nationwide network of sensors and proprietary data, We deliver real-time, high-fidelity insights into freight movement for commercial supply-chain customers and public-sector agencies. Our mission is to strengthen America’s logistics backbone, combat freight fraud and cargo theft, and provide near-instantaneous visibility into commercial motor vehicle activity across major freight corridors. By operating at the intersection of edge sensing, computer vision, AI-driven analytics, and large-scale field deployment, GenLogs is transforming how transportation data is captured, secured, and commercialized.

ABOUT THE ENGINEERING TEAM

The Engineering team at GenLogs builds and sustains the end-to-end systems that power the country’s most advanced commercial-vehicle sensing and intelligence network. Our engineers develop everything from roadside hardware and embedded software to computer vision pipelines, distributed cloud infrastructure, and real-time data services. We are responsible for the reliability, accuracy, and security of the Trident network and the data products it fuels.

Operating across edge, cloud, and field environments, the team partners closely with Deployment, Data Science, and Product to turn complex, real-world requirements into scalable systems that function under demanding conditions and national-level workloads. We value technical rigor, speed of execution, and a commitment to building durable infrastructure that delivers measurable, mission-critical impact.

ABOUT THE JOB

As a Director of Software Engineering for GenLogs, you will lead the engineering organization responsible for building, deploying, and scaling our core applications that tens of thousands of users rely on daily to fulfill critical supply chain operations.

This is a cross-disciplinary people leadership role spanning cloud/software platforms and solid understanding of machine learning and developing analytical based products. You will lead and develop a team of engineers while setting technical direction, establishing strong engineering practices, and ensuring the organization can deliver reliable products at scale.

You will work closely with Product, Deployment, Data Science, and company leadership to translate product strategy and real-world operational requirements into an effective engineering roadmap. You’ll be responsible for creating the structure, processes, and technical foundation needed to move quickly without sacrificing reliability, quality, or long-term scalability.

This role is ideal for an engineering leader who enjoys operating at the intersection of people, technology, and physical-world systems—and who is energized by solving complex problems where hardware and software must work together reliably in the field.
