Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer
Location: Hybrid — San Francisco or New York
Oway is building the first AI + ML driven carrier, a single company that exclusively works through a live decentralized network of thousands of trucks — using AI to fill unused space in trucks as an alternative to regular freight shipping to fix one of the most inefficient parts of our country’s economy.
We’re a small, fast-moving team backed by Y Combinator, and we’re looking for a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer to help us in our next phase of growth. You’ll work closely with our engineering team to build critical infrastructure for our country, working on cutting-edge projects that integrate with live telemetry systems of thousands of trucks and using AI to detour, route, and price their capacity.
What You’ll Do
- Own features end-to-end — from concept and design through deployment and monitoring.
- Work across our stack: Java (Spring) on the backend, TypeScript + React on the frontend, and MongoDB for data.
- Build new product features that directly impact how shipments are priced, matched, and tracked.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Carrier, and Operations teams to ship tools that make real-world impact.
- Help shape the technical culture of an early-stage startup — from architecture decisions to deployment practices.
- Write clean, maintainable code and move fast without breaking things that matter.
Who You Are
- 4+ years of experience as a full-stack or backend engineer.
- Strong command of Java, TypeScript, and React (or similar frameworks).
- Experience building and maintaining production systems end-to-end.
- Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where you have ownership and autonomy.
- Excited by tough, unstructured problems — and motivated by impact over process.
- Strong communicator who thrives in small, cross-functional teams.
- Bonus: familiarity with machine learning, routing optimization, or logistics tech.
Why Oway
- Join a YC-backed team fixing a trillion-dollar industry, backed by General Catalyst, Soma Capital, and some of the best investors in AI.
- Build real systems that move freight across the country — not just pixels.
- Work directly with the founder and early employees who value speed, ownership, and clear thinking.
- Hybrid flexibility: join us in San Francisco or New York, with the option to work remotely part of the week.
