Oway - Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer

San Francisco, US Full-time

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.
