Job description

Avernsys builds Rotasal, a route optimization platform for last-mile delivery teams: dispatchers enter their orders and get optimized, driver-ready routes in seconds. We're a small, founder-led team in Palo Alto, and every hire shapes both the product and how we work.

You'll join a very small engineering team as a generalist: some weeks that's a new planning workflow in the web app, others it's a hot path in the routing engine or an integration with a customer's order system. You'll work directly with the founder and own what you ship.

What you'll do

• Design, build, and ship features across the Rotasal web application, API, and background workers.
• Improve routing, scheduling, and optimization logic together with the team.
• Instrument, monitor, and iterate on what you ship — reliability is part of the job.
• Talk to early customers and turn their feedback into product decisions.

What we're looking for

• Strong TypeScript, or strong experience in a comparable language with the willingness to work in TypeScript.
• Experience building and operating production web applications.
• Comfort working autonomously in a very small team.
• Working proficiency in English.

Nice to have

• Background in optimization, operations research, or logistics.
• Experience with PostgreSQL and modern React.
