I'm hiring for both EM and Senior EM levels building the automation layer for freight pricing, matching, onboarding, and settlement. Lead 1-3 teams (FTE + contractors), own delivery end-to-end, ~8 yrs exp typical. I expect all managers to be technical and be able to help unblock the team, though your day-to-day wont be in the code.

Interesting problems: trust/fraud at marketplace scale; legacy-data-meets-modern-stack; and all kinds of problems that come with powering hundreds of billions of dollars worth of transactions every year.

AI/LLM: We are leaned in, but still hold humans responsible for what they push and expect everyone to review and understand llm output before asking other humans to look at a thing.

Culture: I am deeply familiar with Google's project oxygen/aristotle and am building a culture where our teams can do great work with minimal bs.

Location: Must be local to one of our three locations (Seattle, Portland, Denver)

Primary Tech: Node/TS, React, GraphQL, Kafka/redpanda, k8s, AWS, etc
