Job Description

About the Role

\n

We're an early-stage SaaS company building a platform to automate mission-critical integrations for the real economy — specifically focused on supply chain connectivity. We're looking for a Software Engineer with 3–8 years of experience who brings strong technical horsepower, sharp judgment, and a genuine drive to build foundational systems from scratch in a fast-moving environment.

\n

This is a high-impact, high-ownership role where you'll make architectural decisions that shape the product and engineering culture for years to come. You'll work across both cutting-edge AI/agentic systems and complex infrastructure — no silos, no hand-holding.

\n

Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
