About Optimus
Optimus is building the logistics industry's first AI-powered autonomous revenue engine – exclusive shipper intelligence that helps freight brokers find customers, identify expansion opportunities, and close deals automatically.
We're using cutting-edge AI to transform a $3B+ problem where 87% of brokerages aren't growing their customer base.
The Opportunity
Join as the founding engineering leader to build cutting-edge AI systems and data infrastructure that power intelligent freight insights at scale. You'll architect machine learning pipelines and predictive models that define the technical foundation of a company targeting $125M ARR in 5 years.

Architect next-generation AI systems with advanced predictive models for shipper behavior, intelligent targeting, and automated deal scoring
Data Infrastructure
Process millions of shipment records across 500K+ companies at scale
Product Platform
Serve 20,000+ potential freight broker customers with a scalable platform
Strategic Integrations
Build integrations with major TMS systems and strategic partners
What We're Looking For
5-10 years building data-intensive, B2B SaaS products
Experience with large-scale data processing, AI/ML systems, and analytics platforms
Track record as a founding engineer or early technical leader (pre-Series A preferred)
Comfortable in 0-to-1 environments – you've built products from scratch
Why Now
Large Market Opportunity
Underserved market with clear pain points and strong demand
Product-Led Growth
No onboarding friction – built for rapid adoption
Proven Leadership
Founder with freight tech exits and deep industry relationships
Capital Efficient
Clear path to profitability with strong unit economics
