About the Role

A fast-growing, Y Combinator–backed startup is building AI agents for the short-haul trucking and industrial logistics space. This high-impact, front-line role is at the intersection of engineering, customer success, and product, serving as the technical face of the company to US customers.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end technical deployments for US customers, from onboarding through to long-term success
  • Integrate the AI scheduling platform with customers' existing job management systems, GPS tools, and operational workflows
  • Act as the primary technical point of contact for US customers, diagnosing and resolving issues quickly

  • Build repeatable deployment playbooks, integration patterns, and technical documentation to scale the US go-to-market motion
  • Identify and surface expansion opportunities within existing accounts
  • Travel to customer sites as needed to support hands-on deployments and build strong relationships with operations and planning teams

Requirements

  • 3–10+ years of experience in a forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering, technical customer success, or similar customer-facing technical role
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals — comfortable reading, writing, and debugging code across a modern stack
  • Experience integrating SaaS products with third-party systems (APIs, webhooks, data pipelines, etc.)
  • Excellent communication skills — able to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical operations teams

  • Based in or willing to relocate to Austin, TX
