At **Hemut**, we’re rethinking how logistics works — with software that’s fast, intelligent, and (mostly) doesn’t crash. We’re building **AI-powered systems** that automate freight operations, optimize routes, and make dispatching less of a guessing game and more of a science. As a **Software Engineer**, you’ll be part of a small, high-impact team where everyone ships production code, debates architecture in Slack threads, and occasionally celebrates deployments with memes.
Your work will span APIs, web interfaces, AI integrations, and data pipelines — the real stuff that keeps trucks (and people) moving. **The Hemut Story and a [Quick Intro](https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/NXf-hemut-ai-powered-truck-management-software)** * Cheema (Founder & CEO) started in trucking at **16 years old** as a means to **escape homelessness**, eventually scaling to **management of a 12-truck fleet** * Afterwards, he gained further experience in **logistics and international shipping** through starting an ethnic grocery store and restaurant * **6 months ago, Cheema founded Hemut** to solve the inefficiencies he faced during his 6 years in trucking with the new AI capabilities that were becoming available * He **sold the restaurant and grocery store to bootstrap Hemut**, and gained acceptance into YC with his **technical co-founder, Anthony** * Now looking for motivated individuals to **grow alongside the company** for the next 10 years and **make a real impact** ### **Tech Stack** * **Frontend:** Next.js, React Native, Tailwind CSS, WebSocket/[Socket.io](http://Socket.io) * **Backend:** FastAPI, Pydantic, JWT, Celery + Redis * **Database:** PostgreSQL, Redis, S3-compatible storage * **AI/ML:** RAG pipelines, Pinecone, OpenAI APIs, LangChain * **Voice/Automation:** Vapi, Twilio, ElevenLabs, N8N * **Cloud & Infra:** AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, SageMaker), Docker, GitHub Actions, Terraform ### **Responsibilities** * Design, develop, and maintain production-grade web and backend systems * Implement real-time communication systems and WebSocket-based APIs * Architect and optimize database schemas, search, and caching layers * Build and integrate AI-driven features into Hemut’s logistics and automation stack * Collaborate on architectural decisions and contribute to system scalability and reliability * Conduct code reviews, write tests, and ensure high-quality engineering standards * Participate in DevOps operations including deployment automation, monitoring, and debugging * Research and implement emerging tools or frameworks that improve performance and productivity ### **Qualifications** * Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience * Proficiency in Python (FastAPI preferred), JavaScript/TypeScript, and SQL * Experience with REST APIs, async programming, and scalable system design * Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS preferred) and containerization (Docker) * Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and backend architecture * Bonus: Exposure to AI/ML integrations, vector databases, or workflow automation tools * Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a remote team ### **Why Hemut?** * **Impact:** Your work directly shapes the infrastructure used by real-world logistics operators * **Ownership:** Build full-stack features end-to-end and see them go live * **Mentorship:** Work directly with founders and senior engineers who value speed and clarity * **Innovation:** Be part of a team merging AI reasoning with logistics automation * **Growth:** Learn system design, architecture, and modern scaling techniques * **Culture:** Remote-friendly, fast-moving, and built around collaboration and learning --- **If you’re passionate about building production systems that combine engineering precision with AI innovation, Hemut is where you’ll make an impact.
