Build AI that talks, negotiates rates, and enables autonomous movement of trucks from pickup to delivery
Demo of AI booking a shipment in 10 minutes by speaking to 96 trucking companies simultaneously
The problem
If Walmart needs to move a truck of avocados from California to Chicago, today they must:
- Speak with 50+ trucking companies
- Check weight and temperature requirements
- Negotiate price and availability
- Do it one call at a time
This process takes hours and thousands of phone calls every day across the industry.
What we’re building
We’re building AI agents that do this work automatically.
- Calls and emails dozens of trucking companies at once
- Checks requirements (weight, temperature, lanes)
- Negotiates prices in parallel
- Books a truck in minutes, not hours
Proof it works
👉 In this demo, our AI spoke to 96 trucking companies simultaneously and booked a shipment in under 10 minutes - https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7394069447327555584
Why this is exciting
- You’ll work on AI that handles real-world transactions through phone calls
- Real-world, high-stakes work enabling autonomous logistics - think moving a truck from Chicago to Texas, fully coordinated by AI
- Small team, high ownership, fast iteration
- Hard problems that don’t exist in benchmarks
What we’ll work on
Core Agent Work
- Build AI agents that negotiate the best prices for Fortune 500 shippers
- Design agent architectures that reduce dependence on LLMs
- Optimize prompts and policies using creative, non-obvious techniques
- Reduce drift in long, multi-turn conversations
- Evaluate changes using real call outcomes, not just offline metrics
Speech And Conversation:
- Tune interruption handling and turn-taking
- Tweak speech models for:
- Natural pacing
- Intonation
- Non-robotic cadence
- Optimize conversation timing, brevity, and correctness
Systems & Deployment
- Own the full lifecycle: prototype → deploy → monitor → iterate
- Design and ship production-grade agents
- Work with large datasets and backend systems
- Build integrations and deploy to cloud infrastructure
- Set up CI/CD, logging, and live quality monitoring
Leadership & Customer Impact
- Lead customer engagements from deployment to success
- Act as primary point of contact and unblock progress
- Mentor and grow other agent engineers into owners
- Debug live issues in real time
- Feed customer insights back into product and platform
You can be a great fit, if:
- Agent Engineer with Real-World Experience – You’ve trained and shipped agents in production.
- Know the Stack – Understanding of tool calls, APIs, React, Python, etc.
- Execution-Oriented – You move fast, take ownership, and focus on solving real problems over perfect ones.
- Startup-Ready – You’re adaptable, resilient, and energized by ambiguity and fast-changing priorities.
- Clear Communicator & Team Player – You collaborate well across functions and push decisions forward.
