ABOUT THE ROLE

Join an early-stage freight technology team building AI-powered tools for sea and air freight operations. You will combine hands-on full-stack engineering with customer conversations to turn operational needs into scalable, production-ready products and help shape the product and technical direction.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Lead conversations with customers and translate their feedback into product features and technical decisions.
  • Design and build full-stack applications while advancing user-facing AI capabilities.
  • Move products from demos and prototypes to scalable, high-quality production systems.
  • Contribute to product, technology, and company direction through practical engineering work.
  • Make architecture trade-offs suited to an early-stage environment without over-engineering.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • At least 2 years of professional software engineering experience building and shipping production applications.
  • Broad product-engineering experience across frontend, backend, and systems, with recent hands-on development work.
  • Full-stack experience with Node.js, TypeScript, and React, plus Python backend development.
  • Hands-on experience with LLM design patterns, vector stores, and model fine-tuning.
  • Experience shipping user-facing LLM features or agents for customers, and taking products from MVP to production.
  • Experience leading customer conversations and turning feedback into product requirements.
  • Experience in a startup or early-stage environment; freight or logistics technology experience is relevant.
