Engineering team makes up ~31% of headcount. - **Remote/Hybrid**: Based in San Francisco, CA with a presence in Palo Alto, CA. Some roles appear remote-friendly; specific policy varies by role. - **Notable perks**: Early-stage equity, opportunity to work on AI agents in a $200B+ addressable market (60% of freight orders still come via email/text/PDF). The company is well-funded ($18.45M) by top-tier investors. - **Recent departures**: Founding GTM Luke Walquist left in April 2026 — the team is actively rebuilding go-to-market leadership. ## Sources 1.
