Software Engineer

Let’s be honest: you didn’t go into software engineering just to fix semicolons and attend “quick syncs” that last 47 minutes. You want to build something real — something that ships, scales, and maybe breaks once in a while (because that’s how you know it’s doing something).

At Hemut, we build AI-powered logistics systems that keep trucks rolling, brokers breathing, and freight moving — while making sure engineers still have time to drink coffee and argue about tabs vs spaces.

We’re a YC-backed startup, moving fast, breaking (some) things, and using AI like it actually means something. Join us, and help build software that runs the modern supply chain — not just another todo app with a dark mode.
