AI Broker for Tariff Refunds. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Entry and export audits: An AI agent that reviews customs transactions line by line and catches errors before they reach U.S. Customs and Border Protection. (Shipping now and you could own a meaningful part of it.) We’re well-capitalized, serve real enterprise customers, and are looking for a senior software engineer to take ownership of critical products and systems.

- Can go deep on backend architecture while caring deeply about product quality and a crisp user experience
- Writes reliable systems for complex, high-stakes workflows and knows where additional safeguards are necessary
- Is excited to build with large language models, understands their limitations, and thinks carefully about evaluation, reliability, and human oversight
- Makes sound tradeoffs between speed, simplicity, and scalability

Duty drawback: Recover tariffs paid on goods that are later exported, returned, or destroyed. (Live.)
