The Mission
At Synkka, we’re building the
AI-native operating system
for logistics. Starting with carrier integrations powered by Generative AI, we’re accelerating toward a future where our customers can
build, deploy, and autonomously run their own AI agents
to manage delivery networks using nothing but human language.
This isn’t just an upgrade - it’s a first-principles rewrite of the tech stack powering a $500B+ global industry.
🧬
Why Now? Why Us?
We founded Synkka just a few months ago and we’re already:
- Powering delivery operations for clients serving some of the biggest brands on the planet
- Backed by tier-1 investors
- Nominated for multiple industry innovation awards
- Shipping and learning at speed. Weekly releases, daily iteration
Our team brings together second-time founders, seasoned logistics leaders, and AI engineers with deep expertise. We're early, growing fast, and shaping a company where your work directly influences how global delivery works.
🛠️

- Backend:
Python + FastAPI
- Frontend:
React
- Infra:
Azure (infra-as-code, CI/CD, observability)
- AI Stack:
LLM pipelines for agentic codegen, testing, and self-healing interfaces

Who You Are
A Note on Our Requirements - Please Read First
You don’t need a fancy CV, big-name logos, or traditional credentials. But there is one requirement that is non-negotiable for us and we want to be incredibly respectful of your time and energy (we’ve all been on the other side of the job application process, and we know how much effort it takes).
In the spirit of being fully transparent, we want to be upfront about who we are looking for.
This specific role has a non-negotiable domain expertise requirement.
Because you will be a
founding
product engineer shaping our core product, we need you to join with deep, hands-on experience in e-commerce delivery from day one.
Please review the first requirement below carefully. If you don't have significant experience in
at least one
of the three specified domains (outbound, returns, or cross-border), we kindly ask you to reconsider applying
for this particular role
, as we won't be able to move forward with an interview.
We are telling you this now to save you time and to be as honest as possible, so you can make the best-informed decision for yourself.
You
must
have:
- Deep, Frustrating Domain Experience.
You live and breathe B2C e-commerce delivery. You must have deep expertise in
at least one
of these specific verticals:
outbound shipping, returns, or cross-border logistics.
You don't just know
how
to build it; you've spent years understanding the 'why' behind the arcane rules, the carrier manifests, exception handling and design patters of carrier APIs and EDIs. You are the frustrated expert we're looking for - you've been wondering why nobody cares as much as you do about
finally
fixing the foundational problems, and you have strong opinions on how.
You also likely:
- Are
obsessed with the user
and care as much about the "why" as the "how."
- Have f
luency as a builder
and you can write code and build real products.
- Value impact over perfection and ship iteratively, with care.
- Thrive in a high-trust, low-ego environment with lots of ownership.
- Want to help build a company, not just software—from values to hiring to how we work.
🌟
Bonus Points For
- DevOps experience (especially on Azure)
- Logistics API exposure (carriers, 3PLs, TMS, etc.)
- LLM workflows (agent loops, codegen, test runners)
- Previous startup or scale-up experience
✅
