About the Role

Join an early-stage logistics technology team building AI-powered tools for freight operations. You will work directly with customer teams and engineers to turn complex operational workflows into reliable production software.

What You'll Do

• Work with logistics teams to understand their workflows and translate needs into system designs.

• Build full-stack tools using TypeScript and Node.js, with a focus on AI-powered applications.

• Integrate with enterprise systems such as ERP and TMS platforms, APIs, SFTP, and event queues.

• Build reliable data pipelines for information from varied and unstructured sources.

• Partner with engineering leadership to shape product direction and technical decisions.

• Own work from discovery and design through deployment, then iterate based on user feedback.

• Travel regularly to customer sites across Europe and Asia.

What We're Looking For

• At least 3 years of experience building full-stack applications or backend systems in production.

• Strong TypeScript and Node.js skills, with experience designing APIs and scalable backend infrastructure.

• Experience shipping production-grade AI agents or applications using LLM architectures, such as RAG, evaluations, or orchestration.

• Demonstrated ownership of customer-facing products from user discovery and specification through delivery.

• Experience integrating enterprise systems and building pipelines that handle messy data from multiple sources.

• Familiarity with Docker, Terraform, GCP, or AWS; React or another modern frontend framework is a plus.

• Ability to work with autonomy, communicate across technical and non-technical teams, and maintain consistent engineering tenure.

• Logistics, supply chain, or operations experience is helpful.
