Logistics is one of the single largest industries in the world. Globally, logistics is an $8-$12 trillion dollar industry and in the US alone, ~$2 trillion, representing ~10% of GDP. A single percent of improvement drives profound change to every corner of the world—from the cost of our goods, to the livelihoods of local communities, to even the impact on our environment. To reshape the industry, at TruckSmarter, our focus is first on truck drivers. Trucks move 71% of freight in America (~$900bn annually) & the trucking industry represents nearly 6% of the full-time jobs in the country. If you look around you, every item has sat on a truck at one point on its journey to you. However, despite the industry being one of the greatest levers of innovation throughout history, it is still deeply fragmented & structurally misaligned. Our mission is to fix that—and we need your help.
We're looking for software engineers to help us realize TruckSmarter's new vision of eliminating all inefficiencies in the freight industry. We are building text-based and voice-based AI agents that drive the external communication, perform reasoning, trigger specific actions and perform automated evaluations.
In this role, you'll:
Work closely with product managers, UX/UI designers, and other engineers to align on requirements and define a scalable, extensible architecture.
Design and implement secure, scalable, and high-performance features end-to-end using Gen AI agents and the traditional classification and recommendation ML models.
Build high quality experiences while balancing scope and time-to-delivery.
Monitor the performance of the products and AI models and iteratively improve them
Review code and offer constructive feedback to peers to ensure high-quality deliverables.
Contribute to crucial architectural decisions that will impact feature development for years to come.
Experiment with new technologies and frameworks to help us launch innovative features
To succeed in this role, you should have a passion for iterative product development, and possess an analytical mindset. You should be comfortable navigating the uncertainties of a startup environment, be flexible to shifting priorities, and be driven to revolutionize the $900B trucking industry. You must be up to the challenge to realize TruckSmarter's vision of becoming a one-stop-shop for owner-operator finances.
Some technologies we use today: Typescript, React, React-Native, Postgres, GPT-4, AWS CDK. There's no need to be a prior expert in our stack; it's more important that you learn new technologies quickly.
Engaging deeply with the entire product lifecycle, transforming high-level concepts into tangible, production-ready solutions.
A collaborative startup where you have full autonomy over your work and can make direct impact on both users and the team.
Building products using agentic AI architectures
Solving problems with pragmatic, scalable and extensible solutions—you know how to strive for simplicity without compromising support for more complex use cases.
Playing a pivotal role in cultivating our team culture.
Work cross-functionally with the team to shape product strategy.
Working directly with our users to craft solutions which help them achieve financial success.
Minimum one (1) year of industry experience
Experience working in a fast-paced, startup environment
Well-formed opinions on the capabilities of foundational models and AI agents
At least a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in a relevant field
Craft — Build high quality software that delights end users.
Ownership — Advocate for projects and solutions that you believe in and see them through to production.
Leadership — Level up your teammates by providing mentorship, guidance, and influence.
Working model: TruckSmarter offers an in-office collaborative culture. This role is based out of our downtown San Francisco office 5 days/week.
