We're looking to hire a dedicated full-stack engineer at Rectangle.

If you are (or know!) someone who has thought deeply about distributed coordination, have strong opinions on conflict resolution, or get excited about building systems that are resilient to crazy amounts of chaos, I'd love to talk to you!

Over the last few months we’ve been investing heavily in building our internal infrastructure to power automation, integration, and visibility across the supply chain. We’re rapidly onboarding new customers and are looking for an engineer who’s excited to build alongside them.

You’ll be working directly with customers, solving real-world problems, and scaling the solutions you build. The products you own end-to-end will coordinate billions of dollars of freight, and unlock real revenue and efficiency for leading tech-enabled logistics companies.

This is a great opportunity for someone who loves to operate 0 → 1 while also being directly involved in shaping our platform strategy as we keep stacking investments we’ve made into our infra layer.

Stack: Typescript, Go, Kafka, SQL, AWS

Over the past ~6 months my co-founder and I have been hard at work building our product, soon helping coordinate billions of dollars worth of shipments. Our customers love what we've been building for them, we've got revenue, and are backed by leading VCs in the industry.

If you're interested in solving some of the most challenging problems at the intersection of technology and logistics, don't hesitate to reach out.

The global supply chain has a collaboration problem. It's a mess of TMSs, ERPs, WhatsApp, emails, and spreadsheets. For the last 50 years, it's been solved with brittle EDI integrations to bridge walled gardens. We're taking a different approach. We aim to reshape how the supply chain collaborates and as a result redefine how trillions of dollars of goods get moved around the world.

We’re a small product team who have worked on anything from foundational technology at Flexport, self-driving cars, to core AI experiences and products at Google. We’re looking to bring a high level of craft to an industry that runs on incredibly outdated software.

There are many examples of slightly modified popular riddles that are easy to solve by reasoning about them, but LLMs always fall back to the most likely output from their training data.

Do you think that Markov chains can reason and plan? Dijkstra’s algorithm? Curious where you draw the line

The tech is impressive and has its uses, but we shouldn’t pretend like a token predictor can somehow reason and plan.
