1. What is a Engineering Manager at Fourkites?
At Fourkites, the pioneer and global leader in real-time supply chain visibility, the Engineering Manager—often aligned with the Associate Director, Customer Engineering track—plays a pivotal role in bridging high-scale technology with enterprise business value. Fourkites tracks over millions of shipments daily across road, rail, ocean, and air for the world's largest brands. As an engineering leader, you are responsible for the systems and teams that ingest, process, and deliver this mission-critical data, ensuring that complex enterprise integrations remain robust, scalable, and highly performant.
This position is not a purely internal-facing management role. It requires a unique blend of deep technical architecture, proactive people leadership, and strong customer empathy. You will lead teams that build and maintain high-throughput APIs, data pipelines, and webhook systems that connect Fourkites to external Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Transportation Management Systems (TMS), and carrier platforms. Your impact is directly visible in how quickly and reliably new enterprise customers onboard and how seamlessly their supply chain data flows through our ecosystem.
For an ambitious leader, this role offers the chance to tackle massive data engineering challenges while directly influencing customer satisfaction and retention. You will navigate the complexities of legacy enterprise systems, modern cloud infrastructure, and real-time streaming data, all while fostering a high-performing engineering culture that values speed, quality, and collaboration.
