Why this role is remarkable
- Rare founding-team opportunity at a high-growth startup seeing 40% month-over-month traction with enterprise customers like XPO and Zencargo.
- Direct impact on a massive global industry by building autonomous AI agents that replace manual email and WhatsApp coordination with intelligent automation.
- Generous founding equity package valued at $150k-$250k alongside a top-tier base salary and a high-agency, low-meeting culture.
What You Will Do
- Prototype and ship full-stack features using React, TypeScript, and Python, moving from idea to production deployment at high velocity.
- Design and optimize scalable APIs and cloud architectures using Temporal for orchestration and PostgreSQL to support sophisticated AI agents.
- Work directly with customers to understand real‑world logistics bottlenecks and translate those insights into intuitive, performant UI/UX solutions.
The ideal candidate
- 4-8 years of experience building production‑grade systems at high‑growth tech companies, with strong proficiency in Python and modern React.
- Proven track record of shipping AI/ML features, specifically working with LLM orchestration, autonomous agents, or OpenAI/Anthropic integrations.
- Exceptional product intuition and high agency; you are a self‑driven builder who prioritizes user experience and first‑principles thinking over technical over‑engineering.
