Pallet
Overview
You could be an engineer anywhere, why us?
Join a well-funded, high-growth startup on the path to IPO ($50M raised, 700% revenue growth in 2 years, targeting a $11T market)
Work directly with our Head of Product Engineering, ex-YC Founder, Doordash
Help transform a massive industry and scale us toward a $10 B+ business
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.
