The models can be right, the decisions can be sound, but none of it matters if the experience that delivers them feels slow, cluttered, or untrustworthy. This role owns that experience: the point where Auger's intelligence becomes something an operator actually uses, every day, without thinking twice about it. You'll shape technical direction, not just execute against a spec. You'll hold the bar on speed, polish, and reliability from the first line of code, and you'll build the design system that lets the whole product move faster as it grows. ## What You’ll Do - Define the technical vision and direction for Auger's product suite and individual features. - Design, develop, and deliver features that customers interact with directly. - Hold a high standard for the product's look and feel, treating speed, responsiveness, and reliability as core priorities from the start, not problems to fix later; champion UX and design thinking from the earliest stages of every feature. - Create and continuously refine a unified design system, including shared components, patterns, and design tokens, that keeps visual and interaction design consistent across products while speeding up how quickly new features ship. - Partner closely with product managers to understand what users need, define what a feature should cover, and weigh tradeoffs thoughtfully throughout the build. - Move fast by refining the experience continuously, drawing on real user feedback and internal testing. ## What You Bring - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or another relevant field. - 4+ years of professional front-end engineering experience. - Proficiency with React, JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, and cloud platforms such as Azure. - Strong hands-on experience building production front-end systems with a high bar for craft, performance, and reliability. - Proven ability to lead and execute multiple concurrent initiatives. - A track record of owning features end to end, from technical design through shipped product. - Experience building or contributing to a design system: shared components, patterns, and tokens that scale across a growing product surface. - Strong product instincts. You partner naturally with PMs and can weigh tradeoffs between scope, speed, and quality. - A bias toward iteration. You ship, gather real feedback, and refine quickly rather than over-polishing before anyone's used it. - Comfort operating with autonomy in a fast-moving, high-growth environment where the product is still being defined. ## About Auger ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Auger is building the world’s first autonomous operating system for supply chain operations, collapsing the gap between signal and execution with AI-powered automation. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: Bellevue, Washington, USA - **Founded**: 2024 - **Founders**: Dave Clark (Founder & CEO), Leigh Anne Clark (Co-Founder and President, Fashion and Beauty) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Supply Chain Technology, Enterprise AI, Logistics Software - **Target customers**: B2B, Enterprise (large-scale supply chain operators, retailers, manufacturers, logistics providers) - **Mission or purpose statement**: "To eliminate the Coordination Tax that traps enterprises in manual silos and fragmented systems. To make superhuman operations available to every enterprise ready to lead." ## Products & Services - **The Autonomous Operating System**: A unified AI-powered platform that integrates with existing enterprise systems to provide real-time intelligence, cross-system synchronization, and autonomous execution of routine supply chain tasks (demand shifts, lead time management, capacity planning, scheduling). The system turns messy data into executable truth, allowing operators to move from firefighting to strategic work. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed - **Key Metric – Total Funding**: $400M across three rounds (Seed, Series A, Series A extension) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Oak HC/FT (lead investor in initial $100M Series A) - **Growth Signals**: - Headcount grew **223.9% YoY** (from ~26 to 129 employees) - LinkedIn follower count grew **74.5% YoY** (currently 12,855) - Active job postings: 17 (up 88.9% YoY) - Major talent pipeline from Amazon (26 hires), Microsoft (9), AWS (7), Meta (4) ## Competitive Advantages - **Founder pedigree**: Led by Dave Clark, former CEO of Amazon’s worldwide consumer business — deep operational credibility at global scale. - **"Living Ontology" approach**: Not layering AI on top of broken legacy systems, but building a unified data fabric across the entire enterprise. - **Consumer-grade UX**: Makes complex supply chain tasks accessible through simple, intuitive interfaces (e.g., natural language queries for inventory insights). - **Team composition**: 53% of employees in technical roles; includes a Chief AI and Agentic Scientist, Chief Supply Chain Scientist, and Chief AI Economist — rare depth of domain AI expertise. ## Strategic Focus - **Autonomous execution**: Replacing the "speed of consensus" (manual coordination, meetings, spreadsheets) with real-time, automated reflexes. - **Sustainability**: Positioning autonomous execution as the architecture for sustainable scaling — reducing excess inventory, expedited shipments, and waste. - **Expanding beyond supply chain**: The company states it will expand "wherever coordination breaks down," suggesting a platform play across adjacent operational domains. ## Why Work Here - **Culture highlights**: Described as a "pioneering venture" with a human-centered approach to solving broken supply chains. The team is composed of operators who "have lived the consequences" — late nights, impossible trade-offs — and are building to eliminate that pain for others. - **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: In-office roles (e.g., Strategic BDR listed as "In-Office"). HQ in Bellevue, WA, with additional offices in Clyde Hill, WA and Bellevue, WA. - **Notable perks or engineering culture**: Heavy investment in deep technical talent (AI, data science, supply chain science). Emphasis on moving from "firefighting to reinvention." Backed by top-tier VC with substantial runway ($400M total funding). Strong pipeline of ex-Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta engineers. ## Sources 1.
