Job Description
About the job Global trade still runs on outdated, time-consuming manual workflows. We're fixing that! Anchor AI is building AI agents for customs brokers. Our AI works alongside humans to help brokers process more shipments- faster, with fewer errors.
We're growing fast, backed by First Round Capital (early investors in Flexport), Pear VC, and other top investors. The timing is perfect: with the changes from the current administration, the market is waking up to the potential of AI. We're racing to be the default AI platform for them.
About Us We're a deeply technical founding team from Google, LinkedIn, and AI research labs-backed by top-tier investors. We're building tools logistics professionals wish they had: turning messy, fragmented data into powerful insights and automated systems.
The space is massive. The need is urgent. We're moving fast.
The Role: Build the Foundation As a Founding Engineer, you'll shape both our product and technology from the ground up. You'll help define system architecture, inform product direction, and ship features that deliver real value-fast.
This is a high-leverage role for someone who enjoys full ownership, moves quickly, and builds with purpose.

- Develop across the stack: from polished, intuitive front-ends to scalable, reliable back-ends.
- Own core systems and features from design to deployment.
- Collaborate directly with the founding team and early users to shape the roadmap.
- Drive engineering excellence, velocity, and real-world impact.

- Product-Focused - You think beyond code to what truly matters: outcomes and experience.
- Clear Communicator & Team Player - You thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments.
- Full-Stack Fluent - You're comfortable building with Next.js, Python (FastAPI), and deploying on GCP. You know where to go deep and when to move fast.
- Eye for Great Front-End - You care about clean interfaces, intuitive flows, and seamless interactions.
- AI-Literate - You've worked with LLMs in production or used them to accelerate your own work.
- Experienced - 2+ years in high-impact roles with a track record of ownership and execution.
Nice to Have Background in logistics, supply chain, or related industries.
What We Offer - Founding Equity - A meaningful stake in what you help build.
- Top-Tier Compensation - Competitive salary to attract and retain top talent.
- Comprehensive Benefits + DTO - High-quality health coverage and Discretionary Time Off.
- Onsite Collaboration - Work in-person in San Francisco for rapid iteration and deep connection.
- Growth & Mentorship - Build alongside experienced founders who care deeply about craft.
