Job Application Deadline: 10/31/2026 The Opportunity DAT Solutions is looking for a Staff Software Engineer to be the first engineer in a new function within our Integrations organization: platform and developer experience for third-party integrators. Our integrations teams connect DAT to the systems brokers, shippers, and carriers run their businesses on, from TMS platforms to partner APIs. Today, no one owns the experience of building on DAT from the outside: the SDKs, documentation, observability, and tooling integrators depend on. You will. You will report to the Engineering Manager of Integrations, work alongside our inbound and outbound integration teams, and partner closely with Product, Customer Support, and Engineering across the organization. The function starts small, and its size and shape will grow with the impact you demonstrate. Candidate profile You are a Staff Engineer who builds. Hand you a problem no one at DAT has solved yet and you stand up a proof of concept in days, put it in front of real users, and let what you learn decide what happens next. You are pragmatic: you would rather deliver customer value in weeks than polish something no one asked for. You are comfortable with ambiguity and limited direction, and you do your best work partnering across teams to turn a promising idea into something that ships. You understand your customers, including the brokers and integrators who increasingly build with AI coding assistants, and you design for how they actually work. Key Measures for Success:
What You'll Do
Required Education and Experience
The Skills and Experience You'll Bring
