Founding Algorithm Developer

Fleetline writes optimization algorithms for enterprise trucking fleets. We work with some of the largest fleets in the country and are rapidly scaling our operations.

A bit about us

• Scaled from 0 to $Xm in contracts in under eight months; month-over-month growth is still increasing
• Lean team of 12 based in New York City; everyone deeply cares about the company’s mission, our clients, and each other. That care translates into high standards, close relationships, and intensity.
• Backed by a large seed round from top investors like BoxGroup, Base10, and more.

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 good at moving quickly.
