Every year, companies spend over a trillion dollars moving freight across the U.S. but the system for matching trucks with jobs is still slow, manual, and fragmented. FleetWorks is fixing that.
We're building products that transform the chaotic freight booking process into a modern, intelligent, agentic marketplace. Our agents replace the endless phone calls, texts, and emails and match truckers who want to get paid with loads that need to be moved.
We have a small, high-agency team working out of our office in SOMA. As an early engineer, you will be a true owner of your work, developing features end to end, interacting directly with our customers, and shaping our culture.
What you'll do
Own end-to-end feature development, working directly with a high-ownership team including our founders, customers, and other engineers
Make product and technical decisions that will shape the future of FleetWorks
Ship new work every day
Learn from others and teach those around you

Professional experience owning end-to-end feature development on customer-facing products
At least 3 years of professional full-time software development experience

45-min live-coding interview with an engineer who you'll work with if you join, so that we can get to know how you think about technical challenges
