# Founding Engineer

**Fleetline** — New York City

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/fleetline/214a08ae-62e9-4288-ba97-b27d74f73325

## About Fleetline

Fleetline is building the first complete-context algorithmic load planner for mid to large-sized trucking fleets. Today’s dispatchers face an overwhelming task: balancing regulations, customer demands, live fleet data, and individual driver needs, all while coordinating across siloed tools and teams. Mistakes run rampant, and each mistake is thousands of dollars. Even the select fleets using algorithms that have fleet-wide context struggle: the outputs are rigid, hard to interpret, and are blind to real-world nuances like driver preferences and schedule exceptions. Fleetline solves this by combining advanced optimization with LLMs that can easily adapt algorithms to each fleet’s needs and capture driver-specific information. The result is smarter planning truly optimized for every fleet and its drivers.

## About the role

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.
