About the Company

At Gallatin, we are rebuilding logistics infrastructure for the national security missions of the United States and allied partners.
We build AI systems that determine how logistics decisions are made — not just how they're executed.
From factory to foxhole, we operate at the layer where data becomes decisions, and decisions make the advantage.
We are building the system that enables faster, smarter logistics decisions in contested environments, and we're doing it with a team of seasoned entrepreneurs, operators, and technologists who have built and scaled solutions in this space before.
We hold ourselves to an extremely high standard.
We value clear thinking, direct communication, and the kind of ownership that doesn't stop until something actually works.
Our mission is to create decision advantage when the stakes are the highest.
The logistics infrastructure that supports America's warfighters and humanitarian disaster responders is overdue for transformation, and we are building it.
From defense operations to disaster response, we're solving the hardest problems that keep missions moving when it matters most.
Join a team where the mission is the point.
