Founding Engineer

Revenue Vessel is a growing, venture backed software company on a mission to revolutionize how logistics companies sell. In 13 months, we’ve built a product that our customers love, hundreds of thousands in ARR (doubled in the last 3 months), and a path to grow to over a $1.8M in revenue in the next 12 months. Most notably, we’ve only spent as much cash as our current revenue, meaning that we’re already an efficient business.

Revenue Vessel is operating in the highly-specialized vertical of logistics, but we’re doing something totally different than other logistics software companies. While other companies sell to operations teams that have entirely unique, mission critical processes, we’re taking advantage of a key secret: every logistics team sells roughly the same, and all of them are poorly served right now.

The three co-founders have strong backgrounds in the space: former Head of Demand Gen at Flexport, former top performing SDR manager at Flexport, former Head of Eng at Rutter API, respectively.

This could be a billion dollar business, and we don’t need to compete with other Silicon Valley founders in order to get there. We just need your help to pull it off.

You will be joining an engineering team of 4, all former startup veterans, as a senior technical IC. You will be given a large chunk of responsibility over the product, and as an early member of the team, you will be a key part of shaping our culture, growing the company, and building an amazing product. You will be expected to tackle projects across front end, backend, or data engineering.

For one role, we’re looking for an engineer who can help us the underlying data infrastructure that can support the definitive customer record for this industry. We still need our engineers to be generalists, so we want some full-stack experience, but if you love backend and data, we have a spot for you building something exciting.

For our other open role, we’re looking for an engineer who dreams about talking to customers, mapping out requirements, and then spitting out code faster than Cursor’s terrible memory management can handle.

1. You want to work closely with smart, high integrity, personal growth-oriented co-workers.

2. You enjoy working independently and quickly on things.

3. You are a product-oriented or data-oriented engineer who cares first and foremost about solving customer problems.

4. You are excited to take radical ownership of features and systems.

5. You love being in the thick of it all, understanding the whole workings of a startup, and building a plane as we fall from the sky.

1. You want the immediate cushy and chill life that a large, stable tech company provides.

2. You find yourself excelling in highly-structured, hoop-jumping cultures.

3. You are worried about taking on personal risk.

4. You want to move into engineering management in the next two years (we probably won’t hire a big team for a while) or build a big team around you.

1. be the type of person who never shies away from a problem just because you haven’t done it before.

2. Learn quickly and teach yourself new concepts as needed

3. Be familiar with our tech stack (TypeScript, Next.JS, TypeORM, React, Postgres, Heroku)

4. Be familiar with full-stack web development as well as backend/data work, and excel at backend/data work

5. Write solid code quickly and understand when speed trumps quality and vice versa.

6. Communicate incredibly well and proactively communicate status and priorities.

A typical week might involve building a new feature, polishing the product for a 10/10 customer experience, and scaling our systems as our user count grows.

The company values these things. If you’re excited about this, we’re excited about you. If these aren’t you, then we’re probably not the right place.

1. Brutal focus: We do one thing at a time, and we do it extremely well. Right now, we’re building sales tools for logistics companies. We say no to everything else, even if someone was waving a $1M check in front of our eyes.

2. Too high integrity: We believe that integrity in business is incredibly important. We’d happily lose some money if it meant doing right by a customer or prospect.

3. Improve and Get Better Every Day: We believe in making the business and ourselves 1% better every day. As we make more money, we plan to re-invest most of it in improving our existing team as well as our processes. We give and take kind, candid feedback, and we’re always looking for ways to become better.

4. You want to build a money printing machine: We believe that at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is cash in vs cash out.

• Fully remote work environment with flexible hours

• Extremely Generous equity (we want you to feel so invested in the company's success that you make away like a bandit)

• Competitive cash comp

• For US employees, top-tier health insurance, dental, (optional) life insurance, (optional) therapy through talkspace

Our interview process includes a round of interviews focused on your technical skills and problem-solving approach. Once we’re sure you can code, we have another interview focused on culture fit.
