Role summary
Fleetline is seeking founding Algorithm Developers to build and scale core optimization algorithms for the trucking industry. This role involves writing optimization systems (MILPs, LPs, heuristics, etc.), building data pipelines, and contributing to product and technical direction. The ideal candidate is a generalist comfortable working across the stack, shipping code quickly, and operating in ambiguous environments. Experience with Python and TypeScript is required, with a preference for candidates with backgrounds in ML, DP, RL, or stochastic modeling. This is an onsite role in New York City.
### Fleetline writes optimization algorithms for large trucking companies. After a recent spike in contracted customers, we’re expanding the team and hiring founding engineers.
**A bit about us**
* \~$500k in contracted ARR within 3 months of launch, with a clear path to $1m in the next 6 months
* Founded by two best friends from high school
* Lean, welcoming, and highly aligned founding team; everyone is expected to care deeply about the vision and each other
* Backed by top investors including BoxGroup, Base10, Bloomberg Beta, and Y Combinator
Trucking is a trillion-dollar industry where dispatchers make thousands of interdependent mathematical decisions every day. Why algorithm developers can be massively impactful in this industry should be self-evident.
**About the role**
* Build and scale core optimization algorithms used directly in production
* Write optimization systems (e.g. MILPs, LPs, heuristics, etc.)
* Build and maintain data pipelines that operate at real production scale
* Move quickly from idea → implementation → customer usage
* Contribute to long-term product and technical direction
* Willingness to do whatever is needed technically, from deep algorithm work to integration and tooling
* Comfortable being forward-deployed: talking to customers, understanding constraints, and solving concrete problems
* In office in New York City is required.
**What we’re looking for**
* Has experience writing optimization algorithms (MILPs, ML, DP, RL, stochastic models, heuristics, or similar)
* A generalist who can operate across the stack when needed
* Ships code fast and often; **not a perfectionist**
* Comfortable working in ambiguity with incomplete information
* Extremely hardworking when part of a strong, mission-aligned team
* Background may include top startups or big tech, ex-founder / founding engineer experience, or serious side projects that are shipped and live
* Comfortable with Python and TypeScript
Pedigree is not important. We’re looking for people who are intelligent, gritty, curious, and very good at getting real systems into the world.
