About the Role

Alvys is revolutionizing the transportation logistics industry with a multi-tenant SaaS platform that streamlines freight operations. As a Senior Data Engineer, you will play a central role in designing and implementing our Snowflake-centric data architecture for the year 2026 and beyond. You'll work closely with engineering, product, and leadership teams to build a modern, scalable data platform that supports real-time and offline analytical workloads, large-scale ML and LLM model development and deployment, and LLM-based data strategy.

This is a highly visible role that will directly shape the future of our data ecosystem, including the refinement of our LLM-based data strategy and enabling advanced analytics, ML-driven insights, and AI-powered products across the organization.

Industry Insight

Transportation logistics, a complex and fragmented domain, is ripe for technological revolution. You'll be at the forefront of automating and standardizing a sector that moves trillions of dollars' worth of goods annually, predominantly by truck, yet lacks modern tools and solutions.

About Alvys

Alvys is on a mission to revolutionize transportation logistics. We're evolving from a delivery organization into a product engineering organization—one that blends technical excellence with deep product context and financial accountability. Combining hands-on industry experience with a world-class technical vision, we're building a multi-tenant SaaS platform that's becoming an essential tool for transportation companies.

We measure success by impact, not output. We balance innovation with sustainability—every feature we build comes with a maintenance cost we own. We think like operators, not just builders—reliability and performance are features, not afterthoughts.

Our Principles

Engineering Principles:

Build for Real-World Impact — Our users rely on Alvys to solve real problems, not abstract ones. Every feature we ship is designed to reduce friction, increase efficiency, and drive tangible results for the people moving freight every day.
Extreme Ownership and Empowerment — Ownership extends beyond building—it means being accountable for quality, reliability, and customer impact. If it's in production, it's yours—bugs, uptime, and results.
Technology Debt is Strategic, Not Accidental — Technical debt is a strategic choice, not an oversight. We incur it deliberately when it unlocks speed, learning, or market advantage. Our architecture remains clean, maintainable, and scalable as we grow.
Simplicity Scales; Complexity Costs — Logistics is inherently complex, but our technology shouldn't be. We prioritize simplicity in our architecture, leveraging modularity and well-defined service boundaries to reduce cognitive load.
Radical Transparency — We democratize data and make it accessible across all functions to drive alignment and decision-making. Transparency also means feedback—we systematize constructive feedback loops to ensure growth.

Engineering Culture:

Move Fast, Learn Fast — Speed is our advantage, but we move fast intentionally. We bias for action, assume positive intent, and treat every mistake as a learning opportunity.
Own the Outcome — Every engineer owns outcomes, not tickets. We take responsibility end-to-end—identifying problems, delivering solutions, and ensuring they last.
Engineering-Led, Customer-Driven — Engineering leads by shaping technical strategy, but never in isolation. Designers, PMs, and Engineers share context and decisions, keeping customer outcomes at the center.
Pragmatism Over Purism — Elegant code matters, but business impact matters more. We choose solutions that scale, are maintainable, and solve real customer problems—not theoretical ones.
People Over Heroics — We don't reward burnout or always-on behavior. Sustainability is a feature, not a luxury. If someone needs to slow down, unplug, or take care of life outside work—that's expected.
