San Francisco, CA Company Stage of Funding:
Series A Office Type:
Onsite (5 days a week) Salary:
$200,000-$250,000 + Equity (0.2-1%) Company Description
We are representing a high-growth, venture-backed startup that has raised a $2M seed round (backed by A16Z and Kleiner Perkins scout funds) and a $15M Series A round from a Tier 1 VC. The company is already profitable, generating seven figures of revenue shortly after commercialization, and maintains an extremely high revenue per employee.
The startup is building an AI-powered SaaS platform that transforms the outdated freight brokerage industry. Through cutting-edge omni-channel voice agents, it automates the endless phone calls, emails, and text messages that bog down logistics operations - allowing freight brokers to focus on high-value tasks.
You'll be joining a world-class founding team with deep experience from Uber, Airbnb, and Waymo, and a current tight-knit engineering team of five, aiming to scale rapidly. What You Will Do Build and ship impactful features for an enterprise SaaS AI platform. Help shape the product roadmap by collaborating closely with users and cross-functional teams. Take full ownership across the stack (primarily Node.js and Typescript) - from backend APIs to user-facing applications. Participate in conversations with users to understand their problems and refine the product offering. Help establish a strong, innovative, and collaborative engineering culture. Contribute to the company's culture and values as an early team member. Travel 1-2 times per year to meet with major clients and partners. Ideal Candidate Background Experience Level:
3-10 years of professional software development experience. Strong proficiency in Node.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, and REST API development. Background working at early-stage startups or in highly intense work environments. Previous experience in roles demanding high agency (e.g., founding a startup, launching side projects, notable open-source contributions). Willingness to work onsite full-time in San Francisco and commit to the pace of an early-stage startup (typically 60+ hour workweeks). Ability to thrive in fast-moving environments with shifting priorities. High level of autonomy and self-direction - a true builder's mentality. Preferred Experience with AWS cloud services. Exposure to OpenAI API or building AI-driven products. Logistics, freight, transportation, or vertical SaaS experience is a plus but not required. Active participation in hackathons, technical competitions, or open-source communities. Authorization to work immediately upon hire (including OPT or TN visa holders); H1B transfers can be considered. Compensation and Benefits Base Salary:
$200,000-$250,000 Equity:
0.2-1% ownership stake Benefits: Health Insurance Unlimited PTO Meals provided at the office
Location:
San Francisco, right next to Caltrain Station - in-office collaboration is a key value. Full-Time Position:
Target start within the next 2 months.
