Work Your Way:
At Spreetail, we believe in empowering our employees to work in the way that suits them best through our Work Your Way approach. Each team member has the flexibility to choose where they work most effectively each week—whether that's from home, a coffee shop, or the office. While flexibility is key, we also value the power of in-person connection. That’s why we bring our corporate team together in Lincoln each quarter for a week of intentional collaboration, team building, community engagement, and our All-Hands meeting. It’s the best of both worlds: the freedom to work your way, with meaningful opportunities to connect and grow together. Please scroll to the bottom of the job posting to confirm that your state qualifies for the Work Your Way program.
Spreetail is looking for a Software Engineer III to join our team.

We move physical goods faster and more profitably than anyone else, powered by proprietary software, machine learning, and relentless operational focus.
How you will achieve success:
- Design, build, and maintain the backend services that power Spreetail's fulfillment operations — inventory management, order processing, carrier integrations, and exception handling.
- Own the reliability and correctness of transactional systems that FC operations depend on every hour of every day.
- Lead technical design within your pod — driving architecture decisions, establishing patterns, and holding a high bar in code review.

Debug and resolve production issues quickly, with clear communication to stakeholders.
- Collaborate with product managers and FC operations teams to translate operational requirements into sound software design. Mentor SE II engineers and help raise the overall engineering quality of the team.
What experiences will help you in this role:
- 5+ years of professional software development experience, with a strong backend focus. Deep proficiency in C# and the .NET ecosystem — you can design, build, and maintain production services independently and lead others doing the same.
- Familiarity with downstream ML pipelines (Python, dbt, Dagster) — you won't own them, but you'll work alongside them.
- SQL Server / PostgreSQL — operational and transactional data at the core of everything this team builds.
- AI tooling: Claude Code for development workflows.
- AWS (primary) — EKS, S3, SQS, EventBridge. CI/CD: GitLab pipelines, containerized deployments. Experience with mobile Android.
