AI Broker for Tariff Refunds. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Entry & export audits: an AI audit agent that reviews every entry line by line and catches errors before they ever reach CBP. (Shipping now, and you could own pieces of it.) We're well-capitalized, we already have real enterprise customers, and we're looking for an early-career software engineer to take real ownership of the products above, early enough that your work shapes the company and the $10B+ industry we're transforming.
What they're looking for
- Has built and shipped something they're proud of. Show us the GitHub, the side project, the thing you couldn't stop working on. We care more about what you've built than where you've worked
- Can go deep on backend architecture and also cares that the UI feels crisp
- Is genuinely curious about building with LLMs, whether or not you've shipped with them before, and eager to learn fast
- Understands tradeoffs, knows when to move fast, and when to polish
- Is comfortable with ambiguity and thrives in early-stage environments
- Doesn't need permission to start something, but knows when to ask for input

We started with duty drawback, a $10B/year opportunity hiding in plain sight, and we're now building the entire operating system for how enterprises stay compliant and claw back every dollar they're owed.
Duty drawback: recover tariffs paid on goods later exported, returned, or destroyed. (Live.)
IEEPA / reciprocal tariff recovery: claw back refunds on the new wave of reciprocal tariffs. (Live.)
Entry & export audits: an AI audit agent that reviews every entry line by line and catches errors before they ever reach CBP. (Shipping now, and you could own pieces of it.)
...with more on the roadmap as we build out the full control tower.
Tariffs have been top of mind for everyone. Companies have gone from paying 25% to...
