Founding Engineer

About FleetGen

FleetGen is the compliance and carrier verification platform freight brokers use to stop fraud before a load moves. Since the Supreme Court's Montgomery v. Caribe ruling in May 2026, brokers can be sued for hiring the wrong carrier, and our data is how they protect themselves.

Key Metrics & Traction:

• In production with paying customers, used by teams at Amazon, GEICO and the U.S. Department of Transportation
• 3,000+ users; peaked at over 2 million carrier searches in a single month earlier this year

Users trust our carrier data over incumbents like Highway, Carrier411, and RMIS.

About the Role

We are looking for a senior engineer, often with a day job, who wants real ownership in a startup that already has traction. You'll be one of the first engineers, working directly with the founding team, where the architecture you set is the one the company scales on.

What's Already Built:

• Carrier search: Core product featuring DOT/MC and name lookup over FMCSA authority, insurance, inspection, crash and safety data, with a risk score and findings report per carrier.
• Carrier monitoring: Watches carriers and alerts brokers when authority, insurance or ownership changes.
• AI COI verification: An agent that emails a carrier's insurer, follows the reply chain, requests the certificate of insurance and verifies coverage without human intervention.
• TMS + mobile driver app: Shipments, customers, ELD tracking and audit-verified proof of delivery.

Your Responsibilities

• Own the bug queue: triage, reproduce, fix and ship, including performance on data-heavy pages.
• Build features end to end, from Postgres schema to React Native screen.
• Extend our AI agents (COI verification today, more document and verification workflows next).
• Improve the data layer behind search: schema design, indexing, query performance and FMCSA/insurance ingestion pipelines.
• Harden security: Supabase Row Level Security, auth, secrets handling, rate limiting and groundwork for SOC 2.
