Having surpassed the initial development phase, we have successfully achieved product-market fit and are experiencing exceptional growth, with over 100% month-over-month revenue increase.

Our highly skilled team is composed of experts from leading tech companies such as Google, LinkedIn, and Salesforce, as well as prestigious academic institutions and AI research facilities.

The Role

This position offers substantial ownership and autonomy, allowing you to design and scale systems responsible for ingesting, processing, and delivering real-time logistics data across various AI components, including pipelines, queues, databases, and search layers. Your technical leadership will significantly influence product reliability and performance from the outset.

  • Manage database design and reliability - focusing on schema design, indexing strategies, and query optimization tailored to specific use cases, along with data pipelines that maintain synchronization across systems at scale.

  • Develop AI-driven search infrastructure for real-time logistics lookups and enhanced AI features.

  • Provide technical leadership in a dynamic startup environment - establishing engineering standards, collaborating closely with the founders on strategic roadmaps, and mentoring future backend engineers.

Who We're Looking For

  • Proven track record of end-to-end ownership of backend systems in fast-paced, ambiguous settings.

  • Demonstrated capability in making informed architectural decisions under time constraints, with flexibility to adapt as requirements evolve.
