About the opportunity:
Given recent economic shifts, logistics providers and shippers want to capitalize on generative AI to drive business efficiency. As a result, many of them are turning to CoPallet, the first end-to-end service of AI agents and logistics experts, to automate their back-office operations.

Location:
Since we're a small team building 0-1 products, we prefer for candidates to be comfortable working in a hybrid environment in our office in San Francisco. We typically come into the office 3-4 days a week, but accommodations can be made on a case-by-case basis. Relocation assistance can be provided for interested candidates.
Additionally, for more senior-level engineers, we are open to remote work in NYC since we have a satellite office there, but a willingness to work out of our satellite office two days a week would be preferred. No relocation assistance is provided for NYC at this time.
Compensation:
The estimated salary range for this role is $160,000 – $260,000, depending on experience and skill set. In addition to base salary, we offer competitive equity, benefits, and opportunities for growth.
