Backed by Index and Y Combinator.
About the role
Your role, should you choose to join us, will be a Forward Deployed Engineer on our founding team. This is where the rubber meets the road. You'll be the bridge between our cutting-edge AI agent technology and the real-world systems that power America's freight industry. You'll work directly with enterprise customers to design, build, and deploy custom integrations that bring our AI agents to life in their day-to-day operations.
What they're looking for
- Full-stack builder mindset - comfortable moving between backend APIs and frontend interfaces
- Integration expertise - fluent in REST/GraphQL, webhooks, message queues, and authentication schemes (OAuth2, SAML, etc.)
- LLM/agent experience - hands-on with prompt engineering, vector search, and evaluation metrics, can translate business logic into agent workflows
- Customer empathy + communication skills - can seamlessly switch between C-suite strategy discussions and ops-floor technical details
- Rapid prototyping habit - bias for action, willing to hack, test, and refactor under tight deadlines
- Structured problem-solving - break complex logistics processes into modular components, spot edge cases early, and make data-driven decisions
More about this role
Enterprise software is in the midst of a revolution. The world is shifting from "systems of record" to "systems of automation" - LLM powered agents and orchestrators that perform complex business tasks on behalf of and in concert with humans, with increasing levels of autonomy.
Vooma's mission is to build the AI orchestration platform for America's $800+ BN trucking industry. Everything we touch in the physical world is moved on a truck - it's the backbone of the US economy. Yet logistics today is still extremely manual, which makes it one of the hungriest industries for the shift toward AI Agents.
At Vooma, the products you'll build will help freight brokers and trucking companies win more business and seamlessly execute freight. Our AI agents operate across voice, email and text to automate critical workflows across the load lifecycle.
Vooma is backed by top-tier investors including Index Ventures, Craft Ventures, Y-Combinator, and CEOs, founders and executives from the logistics industry.
