Founding Engineer (Full-Stack/AI)

About the Role

Join an early-stage engineering team building AI-powered software for the freight and logistics sector. You will take ownership of core product architecture and development, combining hands-on full-stack engineering with practical AI experimentation to improve how logistics teams work.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain critical parts of the product.
• Develop reliable full-stack features that help users work more efficiently.
• Evaluate, benchmark, and fine-tune AI capabilities for accuracy and relevance.
• Experiment with models, frameworks, and agent techniques, then deploy promising approaches and improve them using user feedback and data.
• Improve complex legacy code to support greater structure and scalability.
• Build infrastructure and automation for data-intensive and AI workloads.
• Work closely with the founding team as a hands-on, high-ownership engineer.

What We're Looking For

• Typically 2 to 3 years of professional experience, or relevant projects and other evidence of capability.
• Strong full-stack and backend product-building experience, including production systems and cloud environments.
• Fluency in Python; familiarity with Go is a plus.
• Practical experience building or operating AI/ML systems, including LLM integration, benchmarking, fine-tuning, and production experimentation.
• Comfort working with complex codebases, engineering for scale, and automating systems.
• Independent, adaptable, and results-oriented, with strong computer science fundamentals and an entrepreneurial mindset.
• Experience in logistics, freight, supply chain, startups, or entrepreneurial projects is helpful.
