About the role
About Terminal
Terminal builds telematics data infrastructure for the commercial fleet industry. Commercial auto insurers and fleet software companies, including industry leaders like Intact Insurance, depend on our platform to access GPS, speeding, and vehicle data from 330+ telematics providers. We recently raised our Series A led by Battery Ventures and are backed by Y Combinator, Golden Ventures, Penske Transportation Solutions, and Intact Private Capital. Our team works together in person in Toronto, combining early-stage speed with late-stage maturity while processing many terabytes of vehicle data every day.

About the role
We're looking for an engineer who thrives on building scalable platforms and enjoys tackling hard data and backend challenges. This isn't a data engineering role: you'll design and optimize the data platform that powers Terminal's unified API, owning everything from streaming and storage to analytics, and moving terabytes of IoT and time-series data per day. It's core systems engineering, and you'll work across both data and backend to build the critical systems that drive the product's data flows end to end.
You'll partner with engineering teams and customers to build the right abstractions and reusable components that scale with our growth, help set architectural direction, and shape how the platform evolves. You know when to slow down to build the right thing versus ship a fast experiment. This is a role with real ownership, where your judgment raises the bar for the team and directly shapes how customers succeed with high-volume telematics data.
What you'll do
-
Design and build the streaming and batch pipelines (replication, analytics, and enrichment), that feed the product and API.
