Amari AI is building AI agents for customs brokers and the broader logistics industry, a $10T market still running on manual, document-heavy workflows. Their AI automatically tracks regulation updates (including Chapter 99), drafts customs entries, and integrates directly with existing broker systems (Gmail, Microsoft Teams, Slack, CargoWise, Descartes), cutting clearance times to under 5 minutes and delivering 3x throughput per entry writer.

Backed by First Round Capital and Pear VC ($5M raised), Amari has achieved clear PMF with 30+ customers, >100% MoM revenue growth, and 30,000+ hours returned to brokerage teams. The team comes from Google, LinkedIn, and Salesforce.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer who thrives at the intersection of high-velocity execution and complex systems design. As we scale, you will own the evolution of our AI-driven platform, turning messy logistics workflows into crisp, high-performance product experiences. This is a high-leverage technical leadership role; you won't just ship features, you'll define the architectural standards that allow the team to move faster as we grow.

What You'll Do

• Architect and lead the migration of our frontend architecture to support real-time, data-heavy dashboards using TypeScript, React, and Tailwind CSS

• Build human-in-the-loop AI interfaces that make AI outputs and automated workflows transparent, explainable, and easy for operations teams to manage

• Take full ownership of the product lifecycle, from technical discovery and scoping to production monitoring, maintaining a high ship rate without sacrificing reliability

• Define the technical vision, mentor new hires, and foster an elite engineering culture

• Tackle the edge cases of global trade, ensuring core services maintain high uptime while handling unpredictable real-world document inputs

• Collaborate directly with founders on product direction and technical roadmap

Must Have

• 6–8+ years of professional software engineering experience in high-growth, fast-paced environments

• Deep proficiency in TypeScript and React, with the ability to architect complex state management for data-intensive applications

• Strong command of Python for backend services

• Advanced SQL (PostgreSQL), schema design, indexing, query optimization

• Proven startup experience at a real company (10+ people), you've shipped in ambiguous, fast-moving environments

• Bias for action, you write crisp requirements, drive cross-functional delivery, and prefer shipping over over-engineering

• Self-starter mentality, you own outcomes end-to-end and don't need to be managed

• Based in SF or committed to relocating (in-person, non-negotiable)

• H1B transfer OK · OPT OK · No new sponsorship

Nice to Have

• Experience integrating AI APIs or building complex document extraction workflows

• Familiarity with logistics, customs, supply chain, or other regulated industry software

• Background at a high-growth Series A/B startup or as a founding engineer

• Exposure to enterprise software requirements, security, data retention, privacy, and compliance

• Experience with real-time systems and high-uptime production environments

• Top 50 university background (soft preference — strong track record always wins)

• GitHub activity, open source contributions, or side projects (soft signal only)

Success Metrics

• Architectural Velocity: Move from concept to production-ready systems within aggressive startup cycles

• System Resilience: Maintain high uptime and low error rates for core logistics services during periods of massive scale

• Product Impact: Measurable improvement in logistics efficiency and user adoption of AI-driven features

Why This Role

• Revenue grew ~9x in the last 8 months, joining at the right inflection point

• Direct mentorship from founders (ex-Google, ex-LinkedIn)

• Full end-to-end ownership from day one, no tickets, no bureaucracy

• Work on genuinely hard technical problems at the intersection of AI and global trade

• 30,000+ hours already returned to brokerage teams — the product works, now it needs to scale

Compensation & Perks

• Base salary: $170,000–$220,000

• Equity: 0.2–0.5%

• Free office lunches and dinners

• Health insurance (fully covered) · Dental & vision (75% covered, ~$10/paycheck) · 401k (no match)

• Escape rooms, happy hours, team events
