## About the role

Build autonomous agents: Design and scale AI systems that can reliably automate complex, data-intensive workflows—handling everything from quoting to tracking—so customers can fully offload their logistics. Automate AI evaluation loops: Own the tooling to monitor, evaluate, and retrain AI models in production—ensuring performance improves automatically as new edge cases arise.

## What they're looking for

- Builder at heart: You don’t just write code—you build products. You think in terms of customer impact, not just technical elegance. You take pride in shipping real things that solve real problems
- High-agency problem solver: You don’t wait for direction. You move fast through ambiguity, seek clarity on your own, and hop on the phone with customers to get to the root of issues and solve them directly
- Full-stack executor: You get handed a problem like “get this customer live,” and do whatever it takes—build the UI, extend the API, fine-tune the agent—to make it happen
- 3+ years of professional software development with a proven track record of building and scaling production systems
- YC startup background —you’ve thrived in fast-paced, zero-to-one environments where speed and ownership matter most
- Agentic applications —experience designing or building AI systems that act autonomously, adapt to context, and improve through feedback loops
