Job description
Fleetline writes optimization algorithms for enterprise trucking fleets. We work with some of the largest fleets in the country and are rapidly scaling our operations. A bit about us:
- Scaled from 0 to $Xm in signed contracts in under eight months; month-over-month growth is still increasing
- Lean team of 12 based in New York City; everyone deeply cares about the company’s mission, our clients, and each other. That care translates into high standards, close relationships, and intensity.
- Backed by a large seed round from top investors like BoxGroup, Base10, and more.
A bit about the role and ideal matches:
- Looking for generalists who are willing to do any task technically to push the team forward (from long-term product vision to integration work)
- Ideally comfortable with being forward deployed — ie, enjoy talking to clients, figuring out their pain points and priorities, and then using that information to solve their problems.
- Ships code fast and often; is not a perfectionist
- Is an extremely hard worker when they are in a strong team environment and working on a vision they care about
- Has experience at top start ups or big tech companies companies; or is an ex-founder/founding engineer; or someone who obsesses over side projects (deployed and live, ideally).
- Comfortable with Python/Typescript
Pedigree is generally not important — just looking for people who are grinders, intelligent, and are good at moving quickly.
