Job Description

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.
