To build a new operating system for global logistics.
Role
Who you are
- It’s an excellent fit for builders and future founders who want hands-on ownership, first-principles problem solving, and deep exposure to real customer constraints that shape products and businesses.ems, first-principles execution, and end-to-end ownership under real-world constraints
- 1-5 years of experience building and operating end-to-end production systems, ideally in high-growth SaaS or AI-driven environments
- Strong technical fundamentals across APIs, authentication, data modeling, system integration patterns, and debugging complex systems
- A builder’s mindset with high ownership—you’re comfortable scoping ambiguous problems, moving quickly, and shipping durable solutions
- Experience working directly with customers or external stakeholders, translating real-world constraints into reliable technical systems
- Clear and effective communication skills across both technical and operational audiences—from frontline operators to engineering leadership
- Thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments, where requirements are incomplete, and problems are discovered through execution
What the job involves
- We’re hiring one of our first Agent Delivery Software Engineers to build and deploy production AI systems inside some of the world’s largest logistics companies.
- You’ll work directly with customers and internal teams to take systems from scoping to live production, owning integrations, reliability, and real-world outcomes
- After launch, you’ll remain hands-on in production—debugging failures, improving model performance, and extending functionality based on real production data
- This is a foundational, customer-facing role at Pallet, sitting at the intersection of product, engineering, and operations
- Operate as a true Forward Deployed Engineer. Reverse-engineer APIs, UIs, and data models with little documentation; design pragmatic integrations; and ship production systems under real-world constraints
- Own customer outcomes end-to-end. Act as the technical point of contact, handle escalations, diagnose failures across AI behavior and integrations, and coordinate fixes with internal engineering teams
- Scope, prioritize, and deliver under pressure. Break down ambiguous problems, estimate timelines, make smart tradeoffs, and focus on business impact over technical perfection
- Balance speed with rigor. Maintain strong attention to detail while knowing when “speed” is the right call to keep customers moving without sacrificing “quality”
- Build from the field. Feed learnings from deployments directly into product, platform, and tooling improvements
- Our Tech Stack:
- Backend: Node + TypeScript on Encore.dev. Event-driven design with message passing and queues. Hosted on GCP
- Database: PostgreSQL
- LLMs: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google for foundation models; fine-tuned models on Vertex AI
- Browser Automation: Playwright
- Frontend: Next.js + React + TypeScript. Hosted on Vercel
- Observability: Datadog for logging and metrics
Application process
- Intro Chat with Recruiting - (30 mins)
- Technical Screen + Meet and Greet with an Engineer (60 mins)
- Executive Chat with Bizops Lead or CTO (30-45 mins)
- Final Interview: deep-dive technical and behavioral interviews (~4 hours)
Our take
Bringing the power of AI to logistics, Pallet supplies an all-in-one platform that combines transportation and warehouse management. This union of TMS (transportation management system) and WMS (warehouse management system) software in one place makes for a valuable asset for organisations that are seeking to supercharge efficiency.
By collecting everything in one place, Pallet ensures that it stands out from less broad offerings - delivering order entry, dispatch, warehousing, billing, customer communication and more. Clients are able to put all their teams on one platform, and automate many of their most time-consuming tasks with the help of AI.
With a long list of customers including teams at SpaceX, Google and Apple, it is clear that Pallet has made a space for itself in the market. The company has raised substantial funding towards growing its team, expanding operations and investing in new enterprise product capabilities.
