Work directly with the founding team to build and ship AI-powered products that handle real logistics operations autonomously. You'll work across the full stack, from multi-channel integrations and backend services to front-end interfaces, while pushing our AI capabilities forward.
What You'll DoBuild end-to-end features across our Python backend (FastAPI) and front-end interfaces
Design and improve multi-step AI workflows that process real-world logistics data
Work with LLM APIs, agent architectures, and evaluation tooling in production
Contribute to infrastructure, CI/CD, and system reliability as we scale
Shape product and technical direction alongside the founders
You take full ownership, from concept to deployed, working feature
You move fast, iterate constantly, and know when to shift toward robust, scalable systems
You build with AI, not just around it. AI-native development is how you work.
You're comfortable with ambiguity and energized by small-team impact
Strong software engineering fundamentals: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL, REST APIs
Hands-on experience with LLMs: prompt engineering, API integration, evaluation, and related tooling
Familiarity with event-driven architectures, message queues, or background job processing is a plus
Experience with Docker, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure
Startup mindset: resourceful, fast, biased toward shipping
We move fast. Expect a decision within one week.
Step 1: Application Fill out the form with one thing we really care about: submit an AI coding session, a transcript or log from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or whatever tool you use to build. It can be .md, .txt, a combination of multiple sessions, or a link to a hosted artifact.
Step 2: Online Interview A single online conversation covering technical depth, problem-solving, and team fit. No multi-round gauntlet.
Step 3: Technical Session (60 min) A live coding challenge where you build a small backend service from scratch using an AI-coding assistant (we provide it). We'll observe how you work, then you walk us through your code and key decisions in the last 5 minutes.
Step 4: Decision Feedback and potential start within one week of your interview.

What We Do
5U AI develops digital AI workers for freight and logistics teams, automating manual operational workflows such as order entry, quoting, status updates, and customer communications. Its agents operate within existing inboxes, telephony channels, and business systems, converting unstructured emails, PDFs, spreadsheets, chats, and portal data into structured actions and handling processes continuously across logistics operations with shared operational memory and 24/7 availability.
