What We're Building
We’ve developed an AI that can build software integrations, drastically reducing the time it takes to integrate new systems. What takes our competitors about 30 days to achieve we can do in under 2 days. We are going to bring this down to minutes and hours and connect the entire world of supply chain and logistics. At the moment we are launching our first clients and are rapidly expanding, which is why we are looking to bring onboard our founding team.
Our Tech Stack
It's great if you've worked with these technologies, but don't worry if you haven't – it's not a deal-breaker for us. Here's what we're using:
-
Python: The backbone of our operations.
-
PyTorch: For all things AI and machine learning.
-
FastAPI: For… well, APIs.
-
Docker: For containerizing our applications.
-
Azure: Our cloud platform of choice.
Role and Responsibilities
As a founding engineer, you'll be at the core of our development efforts. You'll work closely with our small but mighty team (the Founders) to design, develop, and deploy both our general backend and our AI. You'll have the opportunity to influence the company culture and contribute to strategic decisions.
Who we Need
We’re on the hunt for a Full-Stack Software Engineer to join our founding team. Here’s the deal: while having the necessary technical chops is crucial, we care just as much about your attitude and mindset. We need someone who’s also excited about building something from the ground up and shaping the future of Gluey. As a member of the founding team you will also be a part of establishing the culture of the company.
Desirable Experience
-
Carrier integration experience: You have previously worked with integrating parcel and / or freight carriers.
-
AI/ML: You have maybe built neural networks on your own, used transfer learning with some existing open-source models or created a few RAG apps. That would of course be a great addition.
We're more interested in your overall software engineering skills and how quickly you can pick up new technologies. So if you’re familiar with similar tools, you’ll fit right in!
Benefits
-
Competitive salary and equity.
-
Flexible work hours and remote work.
-
A collaborative and inclusive work environment.
-
Opportunities for professional growth and development.
-
The chance to be part of something big and create a lasting legacy.
Evaluation Process
-
Attitude and Mindset: We care about how eager you are to learn and grow. Do you love diving into new books or taking courses? Are you open to feedback and enjoy collaborating? Are you naturally curious about the world? We want to know how many new technologies you explore each year and if you’re the type who sees setbacks as learning opportunities. Do you ask questions, even the "dumb" ones, without hesitation?
-
Technical Skills: We'll check out your general software engineering ability. This includes your skill in writing clean and maintainable code, debugging, and optimising performance. We’ll also look at your understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software design principles and patterns. It's about how you approach and solve problems, and design robust systems. We value your ability to think critically and adapt to new challenges over expertise in any specific stack.
-
Experience with Our Tech Stack: While it’s great if you know Python, PyTorch, FastAPI, Docker, and Azure, it's not a deal-breaker if you don’t. Our CTO has switched tech stacks a few times in his career, so he values your general technical skills and how quickly you can learn new things more than knowledge about specific technologies.
Our Culture
Open Communication: We share everything—good, bad, in-between, hilarious, wins, losses, and mistakes. No judgement.
Plain English, Please: We avoid jargon and buzzwords. We believe in clear communication that anyone can understand, even if they're not in the industry. Simplicity and clarity matter more than fancy language.
Keep It Simple: We value simplicity over complexity. Whether it's our pricing, product details, or support, everything should be understandable in 5 seconds.
Learn Boldly: Don’t be afraid to ask basic questions and don’t be afraid to challenge the current thinking. It’s better to ask and learn than to stay in the dark. Or as we say in Sweden: it’s better to look silly than remain ignorant.
Results Over Rhetoric: Our focus is on delivering excellent products and code quickly, not on how well we can communicate delays.
Customer Focus: We always bring our A-game for our customers, no matter the situation.
Stay Close to the Ground: No one is too important to get their hands dirty. We all work together without any ivory tower mentality.
Think Differently: We aim to be fundamentally different, not just a little better. If the industry is secretive, we’re open. If best practice is A, we test B.
