About the role
- This is a Forward Deployed Engineering role at a company that's already in production.
- You'll work directly with customers to deploy, configure, integrate, and roll out ZoomLogi across their operations, and you'll write code that runs on real shipments from day one.
- You're the critical feedback loop between customers and engineering, the person who hears the problem in a customer's warehouse and turns it into product.
Responsibilities
- Own implementations end to end.
- From the first technical onboarding call to a customer running ZoomLogi in production, you own it.
- Data integration, configuration, sensor and carrier setup, workflow design against each customer's SOPs, troubleshooting, and the ongoing optimization that keeps a deployment healthy.
- Every new customer brings two or three of their own.
- You'll build integrations that hold up against that messiness and feed patterns back into a framework that lets the next one ship in days.
- What you learn in a deployment often becomes the thing you build the following week.
- Carry GTM impact. You'll help identify opportunities inside accounts and drive deals to close. Technical credibility in front of a prospect is often what moves a deal, and you'll bring it.
- Show up on site. Some deployments need you in the room. Expect to travel up to roughly 30% of the time to be on a customer's floor, build alongside their ops team, and run demos in the environment where the product actually has to work.
- The most interesting problems here don't come with detailed specs: you hear something from a customer, you figure out what to build or configure, and you do it.
- The compliance constraints, the quality/logistics tension, the fact that what you deploy is moving medication to real patients: these should feel like compelling design constraints, not obstacles.
Requirements
- You have 2-10 years of professional experience as a forward deployed engineer, full-stack engineer, solutions/implementation engineer, or in a similar role where you've owned customer-facing technical work.
- You have a specific recent example of something you deployed, owned, and got working for a real customer.
Benefits
- Best-in-class medical and dental (100% self, 50% dependents)
- experience in logistics, supply chain, healthcare/life sciences, or another regulated, operationally complex domain.
- Above market (4-year vesting, 1-year cliff)
Company info
- Nobody calls a logistics coordinator to say things went well. They call because a $100,000 shipment of clinical trial medication has been sitting in customs for three days and nobody can explain why. Because a biologic therapy arrived outside its temperature window and the treatment has to start over. Because the patient is waiting and nobody in the supply chain can give a straight answer about the shipment's location.
- This is the problem we're solving. We're a year in, tracking over 500,000 shipments (including for Fortune 100 customers), and we've already cut manual ops effort in half. General Catalyst, Eclipse Ventures, and Virtue led the seed. The angels are all former or current operators who've spent careers tracking down shipments themselves, such as Head of Logistics at Bristol Myers Squibb, CMO of Cardinal Health, President of Novo Nordisk US, President of UPS Air, and CEO of Uber Freight. They know the market is as large as the problem is broken.
- What we've built works, and the most interesting problems are still ahead of us.
