About this role
About the Role
Join an early-stage AI and logistics technology team as a Founding Engineer. You will combine customer discovery with hands-on full-stack engineering to turn AI agent demos into reliable, production-ready tools for freight operations, while helping shape product and technical direction.
What You'll Do
- Lead customer conversations and translate operational insights into product features and technical strategy.
- Design and build full-stack applications and advance the product's AI capabilities.
- Move prototypes and demos toward scalable, high-quality production systems.
- Make pragmatic architecture decisions and help shape the product and engineering direction.
What We're Looking For
- At least 2 years of professional software engineering experience building and shipping production applications.
- Broad product-engineering experience across backend systems and user-facing applications, rather than a focus limited to one discipline.
- Hands-on experience with Node.js, TypeScript, and React, as well as Python backend development.
- Experience shipping customer-facing LLM features or agents in production, including LLM design patterns, vector stores, and model fine-tuning.
- Experience building and deploying scalable products from MVP to production, including moving beyond prototype or demo stages.
- Ability to lead customer conversations, turn feedback into product requirements, and make sensible early-stage architecture trade-offs.
- Experience in a startup or other early-stage environment; freight or logistics technology experience is relevant.
