Backed by top-tier investors, they are poised to transform how goods move across borders. For engineers seeking high-impact San Francisco startup jobs, this is a rare chance to join at the ground floor.

Why This is a Foundational Opportunity

1. Shape the Future from Day One: As a founding engineer, you will have an outsized influence on product architecture, technical direction, and company culture.
2. Solve Monumentally Complex Problems: Bring order and intelligence to one of the world's most data-messy, high-stakes industries.
3. Work with an Elite Team: Collaborate directly with founders who have deep expertise in AI, infrastructure, and scaling technology from leading tech companies.
4. Ownership and Velocity: This is a high-leverage role for someone who thrives on full ownership, ships quickly, and builds with purpose.

About the Role

We are looking for a Founding Full-Stack Engineer to build the foundation of our AI-powered logistics platform. You will shape both our product and our technology from the ground up, helping to define system architecture and inform product direction. This role is for a builder who enjoys full ownership, moves with purpose, and wants to ship features that deliver real value—fast.

What You'll Do

1. Design and build AI-powered logistics solutions end-to-end, from polished, intuitive front-ends to scalable, reliable back-end systems.
2. Own core systems and features from initial concept through design, deployment, and iteration.
3. Collaborate directly with the founding team and early users to understand pain points, gather feedback, and shape the product roadmap.
4. Drive engineering excellence, establish best practices, and set the technical standard for a rapidly growing engineering organization.
5. Move quickly to deliver real-world impact in a fast-paced, seed-stage environment.

Who You Are

1. You are a versatile and experienced full-stack engineer with 3-6+ years of building and shipping production applications.
2. You have strong proficiency in modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, TypeScript) and backend development (e.g., Python, Node.js, Go).
3. You have experience designing scalable APIs, data models, and cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP).
4. You are product-oriented and enjoy engaging with users to understand their needs and translate them into elegant technical solutions.
5. You are a self-starter who thrives in ambiguity, takes extreme ownership, and is energized by building something from nothing.
6. You have excellent communication skills and enjoy working closely with a small, collaborative, high-velocity team.

Bonus Points

1. Interest or experience in AI/ML, data engineering, or complex B2B/enterprise systems.
2. Passion for solving problems in logistics, supply chain, or other operationally intensive industries.
3. Previous early-stage (Seed, Series A) startup experience.

Tech Stack (You'll help shape this!)

While we're early and open to input, we're building with modern tools including React, TypeScript, Python, cloud infrastructure on AWS/GCP, and integrating cutting-edge AI models.
