About the Role

Join an early-stage freight technology team building AI-powered tools for sea and air freight operations.

• 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.
