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. If we can capture this momentum effectively, we’re on track to build the next $10 billion tech company in logistics.
We're hiring Product Engineers to bridge the gap between customers and our AI platform, customize solutions for enterprise clients, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to build our AI product from the ground up.

- Help shape foundational engineering practices and decisions as an early team member
- Act as the bridge between AI and real business needs, working closely with both engineering and customer teams
