About the opportunity:
Given recent economic shifts, logistics providers and shippers want to capitalize on generative AI to drive business efficiency. As a result, many of them are turning to CoPallet, the first end-to-end service of AI agents and logistics experts, to automate their back-office operations. If we can capture this momentum effectively, we're on track to build the next $10 billion tech company in logistics.
We're hiring Product Engineers to bridge the gap between customers and our AI platform, customize solutions for enterprise clients, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to build our AI product from the ground up. They'll work directly with Aren (ex-Google), Nilkanth (ex-founder, ex-DoorDash), and Vidhur (lead engineer on Document AI at Scale) to shape the future of logistics AI — from how it's built to how it's deployed in the real world.

• Build & maintain the core infrastructure platform from day one — built to support thousands of AI agents running in parallel to solve real-world logistics problems
• Design and implement efficient, scalable data pipelines
• Develop backend systems that can scale from hundreds to millions of users
• Help shape foundational engineering practices and decisions as an early team member
• Act as the bridge between AI and real business needs, working closely with both engineering and customer teams
• See your work in action immediately as customers benefit from more reliable, observable AI agent deployments
  

Our tech stack:

• Database: PostgreSQL
• Backend: Node + TS. Encore for robust server-side dev and managed DevOps. Hosted on GCP
• LLMs: Open AI, Anthropic, Google for foundation models, Playwright for browser automation
• Frontend: React + TS. Hosted on Vercel
  

Preferred experience:

• 4+ years of full-stack experience building 0→1 products
• Strong communicator comfortable working directly with clients
• Experience shipping end-to-end features in a SaaS environment
• Thrives in fast-paced startup settings
• Excited to collaborate in person 3–4x/week in SF's Financial District
• Bonus: experience with Node.js, TypeScript, and GraphQL (language-agnostic interviews)
  

Who you are:

• You own the outcome: taking full responsibility to deliver impact end to end, no excuses.
• You move fast but with quality: shipping quickly while maintaining sustainable craftsmanship.
• You experiment relentlessly: embrace a growth mindset, learn from failures, and iterate faster.
• You push beyond limits: no coasting; you raise the bar for yourself and the team.
• You thrive in collaboration: value face-to-face teamwork and contribute actively in our in-office culture.

• Intro Chat with Head of Talent (30 mins)
• Technical Screen + Meet and Greet with Hiring Manager (60 mins)
