About this role
ABOUT THE ROLE
Join an early-stage freight technology team building AI-powered tools for sea and air freight operations. You will combine hands-on full-stack engineering with customer conversations to turn operational needs into scalable, production-ready products and help shape the product and technical direction.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Lead conversations with customers and translate their feedback into product features and technical decisions.
- Design and build full-stack applications while advancing user-facing AI capabilities.
- Move products from demos and prototypes to scalable, high-quality production systems.
- Contribute to product, technology, and company direction through practical engineering work.
- Make architecture trade-offs suited to an early-stage environment without over-engineering.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- At least 2 years of professional software engineering experience building and shipping production applications.
- Broad product-engineering experience across frontend, backend, and systems, with recent hands-on development work.
- Full-stack experience with Node.js, TypeScript, and React, plus Python backend development.
- Hands-on experience with LLM design patterns, vector stores, and model fine-tuning.
- Experience shipping user-facing LLM features or agents for customers, and taking products from MVP to production.
- Experience leading customer conversations and turning feedback into product requirements.
- Experience in a startup or early-stage environment; freight or logistics technology experience is relevant.

About this listing
Published on Ashby under the board identifier Clera, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
