You'll take ownership of a critical integration upgrade while working with a team that values clean execution and minimal bureaucracy.

Experience with shipping or logistics APIs (USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc.)
Familiarity with OAuth 2.0 authentication flows
JavaScript experience (any framework or vanilla JS)
Exposure to Angular-based front-end applications
