What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Full Stack Developer, Freight Hero position at career?
About Freight Hero:
The US freight brokerage industry has experienced rapid growth over the past decade, expanding from 6% to over 20% market share and reaching a current value of $21 billion. However, this growth has been accompanied by a decline in profit margins from 20% to 5%. Operational back-office tasks now consume up to 90% of freight brokers' time, highlighting a key area for improvement and innovation. Freight Hero, in partnership with AI Fund and Dynamo Ventures, is transforming the freight brokerage and supply chain sectors. Through AI-driven solutions and human oversight, the company streamlines back-office processes and increases operational efficiency.
About Our Two Powerhouse Investors
AI Fund: Founded by Dr. Andrew Ng, AI Fund is a venture studio that supports AI startups, focusing on the transformative power of AI to enhance business processes.
Dynamo Ventures: Dynamo Ventures is a leading VC fund focused on supply chain and mobility investments founded by Ted Alling, one of the most respected leaders in freight brokerage.
By combining AI Fund's technical expertise with Dynamo's industry-specific insights and connections, as well as an experienced exited founder in the supply chain tech space, Freight Hero is well positioned to dominate the AI space for freight brokerage.
