The RoleWe're seeking an experienced Senior Integration Engineer to join our engineering team and lead the development of critical data integrations for our cold chain logistics platform. You'll be responsible for building and maintaining complex integrations that process shipment tracking data, device telemetry, and temperature monitoring feeds from diverse logistics partners and IoT devices—enabling real-time visibility and proactive risk management for temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical shipments.This role requires someone who thrives on solving complex data challenges, from debugging international geocoding issues to optimizing high-volume telemetry processing workflows and reconciling conflicting data across multiple vendor systems. You'll work directly with major pharmaceutical clients to ensure their critical shipments maintain temperature integrity throughout the supply chain.What You'll DoIntegration Development & Data ProcessingBuild and maintain production integrations using Prismatic.io, handling complex payload transformations and multi-step workflowsProcess and normalize shipment tracking data from 3PL partners (UPS, Kuehne+Nagel, World Courier, DHL, FedEx)Implement robust error handling and retry logic for unreliable vendor APIs ensuring 100% of data is capturedDesign device selection algorithms to optimize telemetry data processingCreate matching logic for automated shipment routing decisionsReal-time Monitoring & Alert SystemsBuild integration deviation detection and alerting workflowsProcess device telemetry streams from multiple IoT providers (Sensitech, Tag-n-Trac, Elpro, Tive, Samsara, Controlant, Roambee, etc.)Calculate packaging thermal life and predict temperature breachesImplement 3PL/carrier milestone processing for shipment status updatesDesign dashboards for real-time integration health visibility for internal and external stakeholdersData Quality & ValidationDebug and resolve geocoding issues with international addresses using Mapbox and other APIsImplement comprehensive data validation for vendor payloadsBuild data quality monitoring and anomaly detection systemsCreate reconciliation workflows for mismatched shipment and device dataHandle API (REST, GraphQL, SOAP), EDI (AS2), and legacy (email, SFTP) transmission implementationsDatabase & InfrastructureDesign and optimize Supabase database schemas for high-volume telemetry dataWrite complex PostgREST queries for data retrieval and aggregationImplement efficient upsert patterns for real-time data updatesBuild data archival and retention strategiesCreate database migration scripts and maintain schema documentationCustomer Implementation & SupportDebug production issues across multiple client environmentsOptimize integration performance for high-volume data streamsSupport Linear project management workflowsDocument PAXAFE integration workflows, schemas, and other specificationsWho We're Looking ForRequired Technical Skills4+ years building production data integrations with complex transformation requirementsExpert-level JavaScript/TypeScript for integration developmentStrong experience with iPaaS platforms (Prismatic.io strongly preferred)Proficiency with PostgreSQL and modern database patterns (Supabase/PostgREST experience a plus)Experience with geocoding APIs and address normalization challengesUnderstanding of webhook patterns, REST APIs, and real-time data streamingFrontend experience for building integration monitoring dashboardsCritical Domain Experience (one or more of the following)Cold chain logistics and temperature-controlled shipments (pharmaceutical strongly preferred)Experience with 3PL data formats and tracking systemsIoT device integration and telemetry processingUnderstanding of GxP compliance and pharmaceutical logistics requirementsKnowledge of thermal packaging and temperature excursion managementEDI/AS2 protocol experienceProblem-Solving ExpertiseProven ability to debug complex data quality issues across multiple systemsExperience handling inconsistent vendor data formats and missing fieldsSkills in reverse-engineering undocumented APIs and payload structuresUnderstanding of retry strategies and error recovery patternsExperience with high-volume data processing optimizationKey CompetenciesObsessive attention to data quality and validationAbility to context-switch between multiple integration issuesStrong debugging skills with distributed systemsExperience managing vendor relationships and escalationsClear technical documentation and communication skillsWhat Success Looks LikeFirst 30 Days:Master our Prismatic integration patterns and existing workflowsSuccessfully debug and resolve at least one production integration issueUnderstand our core vendor data formatsFirst 90 Days:Own end-to-end delivery of a new integrationCreate comprehensive documentation for your integrationFirst 6 Months:Lead the technical design for a major client implementationReduce integration error rates by implementing better validationMentor team members on complex debugging techniquesContribute to our integration platform architecture decisionsTechnologies You'll Work With DailyIntegration Platform: Prismatic.ioLanguages: JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL, PythonDatabases: Supabase (PostgreSQL), PostgREST, SmartSheetAPIs: Mapbox, various 3PL/IoT APIsMonitoring: New Relic, GrafanaProject Management: LinearData Formats: JSON, XML, EDI, CSV transformationsProtocols: Webhooks, AS2, REST, GraphQL, SOAPWhy This Role MattersEvery integration you build directly impacts the safe delivery of life-saving medications.
