Staff Infrastructure & Performance Engineer
Logistics is the substrate beneath every economy that has ever existed, and it remains the least intelligently coordinated activity in the modern world.
Consumer expectations are converging on instantaneous, perfect, free.
Networks are not.
We call this gap the Logistics Singularity, and closing it is the work.
Nash is the Autonomic Logistics OS.
We unify decisioning, execution, and capacity into a single programmable system that runs the operation at equilibrium across orders, fleets, carriers, and customers.
The world's largest retailers, grocers, and pharmacies (including Walmart, 7-Eleven, Woolworths, Coles, and Pet Circle) run their critical workflows on Nash.
Founded by Mahmoud Ghulman and Aziz Alghunaim, and backed by Y Combinator, a16z, and other top investors.
Headquartered in San Francisco.
