Description du poste

Coast is building the smart financial infrastructure powering America's fleets. AI is fundamentally changing how fleets run their financial operations, and we're shaping the tools this new era requires.

Founded in 2020, Coast has become the payments and expense management platform of choice for the 500,000 fleets and 40 million vehicles that keep the country moving by giving fleet owners and operators control, visibility, and trust over how their businesses spend.

In an industry where complexity is the norm, we're building something simple yet opinionated and focused: software that field owners, managers, and workers actually want to use. Every member of our fully co-located team is a builder who demonstrates high agency, ownership, and urgency every day. We also care deeply about bringing modern, well-crafted tools to the trades; an industry that's been underserved for too long.

You’ll partner closely with engineering, design, data, and cross-functional stakeholders (Risk, Legal, Customer Success, Sales) to build intelligent experiences that help customers save money, reduce risk, and eliminate manual work. You'll own problems end to end and makes consequential decisions that shape the outcome. This role blends AI-native product development (LLM-powered workflows, evaluation systems, human-in-the-loop design) and deep product sense.

Location & work mode

Coast is an in-person company. This role is based out of our New York City office and requires in-person presence 3 to 4 days a week. We believe great products are built by people who are in the room together: collaborating closely, moving fast, and holding each other to a high bar.
