Rite-Hite is undergoing a digital transformation and needs to architect and scale Rite-Hite ONE, a next-generation, AI-enabled platform to revolutionize dock and yard operations, empower customer self-service, and drive real-time equipment lifecycle intelligence.
Requirements
- Expertise with machine learning, natural language platforms and real-time inference frameworks.
- Expertise in Java, Python, React, Micro-services, or similar modern languages and frameworks.
- Depth in AI/ML, cloud architecture (AWS/Azure/GCP), real-time data systems, and modern engineering practices (CI/CD, microservices, containerization).
- Familiarity with IoT data ingestion, real-time analytics, and third-party system integrations (ERP, WMS, TMS).
- Strong foundation in DevOps, infrastructure as code, and secure software design principles.
- Proven success delivering enterprise-grade cloud platforms in industrial, logistics, or field service domains.
- 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ in senior leadership (VP, Director, or Head of Engineering).
Responsibilities
- Define and execute the technical roadmap for Rite-Hite ONE, our cloud-native SaaS platform designed for enterprise-scale performance, extensibility, and integration.
- Architect a modular platform with robust APIs, SDKs, and low/no-code frameworks that enable third-party development and seamless integration with IoT, ERP, WMS, TMS, CMMS, and EAM systems.
- Drive the incorporation of AI/ML and natural language models (NLMs) for predictive analytics, equipment health scoring, real-time anomaly detection, digital assistants, intelligent document summarization, and conversational interfaces.
- Partner with Data Science, IT, and Product to implement full-lifecycle ML operations—including model retraining pipelines, feature stores, and real-time inference architecture—treating data as a product and AI as a core platform differentiator.
- Champion modern engineering practices—CI/CD pipelines, microservices, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), infrastructure as code, and observability—to deliver secure, high-quality releases at speed.
- Ensure the platform can ingest high-volume real-time IoT data, maintain 99.9%+ uptime, and meet rigorous security, privacy, and compliance standards (SOC2, ISO, GDPR, IEC 62443).
- Recruit, develop, and inspire a high-performing software engineering organization—fostering a culture of innovation, technical excellence, and continuous learning across engineering, DevOps, architecture, and QA.
Other
- Be the architect of change: Define the technical vision for our enterprise-grade SaaS platform—designed to transform how our customers run their operations.
