Senior Software Engineering

Every year, companies spend over a trillion dollars moving freight across the U.S. but the system for matching trucks with jobs is still slow, manual, and fragmented. FleetWorks is fixing that.

We’re building voice agents that transform the chaotic freight booking process into a modern, intelligent marketplace. Our agents replace the endless phone calls, texts, and emails and match truckers who want to get paid with loads that need to be moved.

We’re expanding our forward‑deployed engineering team in Chicago, a major hub for our customers and the heart of U.S. freight operations. In this role, you’ll be embedded directly into the environments where our product meets real users. You’ll work side‑by‑side with operators, understand their workflows firsthand, and turn that knowledge into robust integrations and production features.

As our first Forward‑deployed engineer at FleetWorks, you’ll own outcomes end‑to‑end: diagnosing messy real‑world problems, shaping technical solutions in the field, and ensuring our AI agents perform flawlessly in live operations. If you thrive in ambiguous environments, enjoy working directly with customers, and want to see your code deliver immediate operational impact, this role is uniquely high‑leverage.
