Full Stack Software Engineer - AI Agents

About Channel19:We are a seed-stage B2B startup building AI Agents for the freight trucking industry. Roughly 80% of goods transportation in the US is done by trucks. These trucks are powered by over 1.2 million trucking businesses and create over $700B in annual revenue. Channel19's mission is to address the intricate operational inefficiencies that burden these trucking businesses. We are building AI powered agents to tackle these use cases. We're backed by top-tier investors and our small but mighty team is growing. We are on the lookout for a hire, who is ready to dive in, get their hands dirty, and help shape the future of freight technology.Opportunity:You will work with engineering and product design at Channel19.

One of your favorite feelings is shipping code and releasing new features to users. You know when to accrue technical debt in order to get a feature live. You strive for simple, readable code and you are averse to over-engineering the task at hand.You have a track record of building great software in fast-growing companies. You have battle scars and wisdom from many years of building software in ever-changing environments. That wisdom comes both from projects that were incredibly successful and from projects that were abject failures.1 + 1 = 3. You strongly believe that collaboration, pairing, mentoring and raising the bar for everyone on the team makes the team greater than the sum of its parts.You are a software craftsperson who believes in the journey to mastery. You believe in creating well crafted software, steadily adding value to stakeholders (as well as the engineering team and your future self) and collaborating with others with an open mind and flexible opinions. You believe that the journey of mastering the craft of software never ends, but you love being along for the ride.You thrive in a low-friction, light-process environment. We are not a meeting-heavy org. You are self-motivated to write great software, release great products, pair with team members all without spending hours deliberating whether something is "3 points" or "5 points".You are intellectually curious. You are probably a polyglot when it comes to programming languages, even if you don't have mastery over those other languages. You are always curious to dabble in a new library or framework or language and you analyze their high level pros and cons without even realizing it.You are both a great communicator and listener. You are great at synthesizing inputs from different sources; you speak and write clearly, concisely, and with a structure that gets everyone on the same page when things feel messy.Must havesAt least 1 year and preferably 3 years or more of professional experience in developing and deploying production software.Experience delivering large scale, business critical systems to the cloudAbility to learn new technologies quickly and implement them.Takes a user focused approach, shipping incrementally with rapid iterations.Nice to havesProfessional experience at a software startup.Experience with Logistics, Transportation, Telematics software.Experience mentoring people technically.Experience in securing large scale applicationsWhat we offer:A unique & fun culture at the earliest stages of a growing startup.Competitive salary and stock options.The opportunity to shape the future of AI in logistics along with foundations of a venture backed company.A chance to join the ground floor of a funded, growing startup that is modernizing an industry critical to the US economy.Feel free to reach out with any questions to tony@channel19.io We look forward to working with you!
