We're partnering with a well-funded, early-stage startup using AI to automate one of the most outdated industries in America:

freight brokerage . Instead of replacing a UI, they're replacing entire workflows - building omni-channel AI agents that handle the phone calls, emails, and texts it normally takes to book a single truckload.

Their product is already used by major players, and they're scaling fast.

They're hiring

10+ senior software engineers

to join the core team in

San Francisco . You'll work closely with the CTO and founding team to ship new features, improve infrastructure, and talk directly to users. You'll also help shape culture and set the tone for future engineers.

Node.js + TypeScript • Comfortable with cloud deployment, CI/CD, REST APIs, and AWS • Strong communication skills - you'll be talking to clients • Already in SF or willing to relocate quickly

Bonus points for: • Experience in freight tech, logistics, or transportation • Background in early-stage startups or intense work environments • High-agency mindset - self-starters and builders who ship fast
