We're hiring a Software Engineer with 4–7 years of experience who enjoy building products from the ground up.


This isn't an enterprise engineering role. We're looking for engineers who have worked at early-stage (Series A–C), VC-backed startups, owned product features end-to-end, and enjoy moving quickly with a small team.


You'll work directly with founders to build and scale a marketplace platform that moves real equipment and vehicles across the country. Engineers here have significant ownership and help shape both product direction and technical decisions.


Please only apply if you meet the Required Qualifications below. Applications that do not meet these requirements will not be considered.


What You'll Do

  • Own customer-facing features from concept through production.
  • Build scalable frontend and full-stack applications using TypeScript.
  • Design APIs, data models, and backend services.
  • Build systems supporting payments, logistics, financing, and marketplace transactions.
  • Partner directly with founders to ship product quickly.
  • Make architecture and product decisions with significant autonomy.
  • Improve user experience through thoughtful product and design decisions.


Required Qualifications

To be considered, you should have:

  • 4–7 years of professional software engineering experience
  • Experience at a Series A, B, or C VC-backed startup
  • Experience building and owning features end-to-end
  • Strong proficiency with TypeScript
  • Experience building modern customer-facing web applications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from a U.S. university
  • Strong product mindset with an eye for user experience
  • Ability to work on-site in New York City five days per week


Preferred Experience

Experience with one or more of:

  • React
  • Next.js
  • Node.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • Marketplace products
  • Payments
  • Logistics platforms
  • Fintech products
  • Founding Engineer or early engineering hire


Bonus Points

We'd especially like to hear from engineers who have worked at companies similar to:

  • TruckSmarter
  • Reibus
  • Traba
  • Flowspace
  • EquipmentShare
  • Machinio
  • Bounce
  • Odeko
  • or other early-stage, venture-backed product companies.


This Role Is Probably NOT a Fit If

  • Your experience is primarily at large enterprise companies.
  • Most of your experience has been consulting or contract work.
  • You attended a coding bootcamp without earning a Computer Science degree.
  • You haven't worked in a fast-paced startup environment.
  • You're looking for a remote or hybrid role.
