Product Development Specialist (Software)

The Company - FleetOps

The supply chain is broken and we’re here to fix it. From empty shelves to excess, pollution, traffic congestion and higher costs, everyone is impacted by these issues.

FleetOps delivers supply chain solutions for the freight industry that are built on top of IoT sensor data from trucks. Our mission is to connect the right shipment with the right truck at the right time.

At our core, we are removing friction for supply chain stakeholders through the use of data. Here are some of the questions we work on every day :

• What patterns can we observe and predict using historical geospatial data?
• How can we use design thinking to build simple, effective, and user-friendly products that can be used by drivers, dispatchers, shippers, and brokers?
• How do we identify supply and demand preferences that are constantly evolving?
• How do we ensure our applications are highly performant, secure, available, and scalable?
• How can we provide more value to our users by partnering and collaborating with other companies in the industry?
• What innovative solutions can we introduce in the industry that can fundamentally transform logistics?

We're backed by investors in Waterloo, Toronto, SF, Tokyo, and NYC and are looking to add to our team. As a fully remote organization, we contribute to a greener environment by removing wasteful miles driven by unloaded trucks and make significant systemic improvements to logistics in North America.

If this goal excites you, and this challenge intrigues you, let's talk!
