Jampack AI is building an AI-native operating platform for wholesale CPG operations, automating the full order-to-cash lifecycle from purchase order ingestion through freight coordination, invoicing, and payment reconciliation.
Market traction:
-
Processing $500M+ annualized wholesale volume
-
Live production platform with real customers including Fishwife, Immi, Ghia, Path Water, and Sanzo
-
$3.2M seed funding led by Maveron (co-founded by Howard Schultz) with Timber Grove Ventures participation
-
Co-founder scaled a CPG company from $0 to $40M in 18 months; CTO has prior engineering leadership at scale
This is a true founding engineering ownership role. This is not feature factory full-stack work. This is not low-stakes product engineering. This is mission-critical infrastructure ownership where downtime directly impacts shipments and customer revenue.
The stated moat is not the model — it is the infrastructure scaffolding around real-world AI workflows. Core ownership includes:
-
Customer-facing product ownership from concept to production
-
Direct customer conversations and solution design
-
Event-driven AI workflow infrastructure and internal/external APIs
-
ERP, 3PL, retailer, and freight partner integrations
-
Real-time operator console development
-
Sync-layer reliability engineering, observability, SLO design, and on-call ownership
-
Backend, frontend, data, and AI workflow engineering
-
2–5 years of software engineering experience, ideally with high-agency startup ownership
-
TypeScript and Node.js expertise
-
Strong Postgres capability — data modeling and query optimization
-
Full-stack engineering ability including React
-
Event-driven architecture experience — webhooks, async workflows, external systems integrations
-
End-to-end product ownership — ability to take vague ideas to production
-
Simplicity-first engineering mindset with reliability ownership
-
Clear, direct communication including customer-facing technical communication
-
Brooklyn hybrid availability with strong in-person presence
-
Founding engineer or early startup engineering experience
-
Logistics, supply chain, freight systems, or CPG software exposure
-
B2B SaaS infrastructure experience
-
EDI systems experience (SPS Commerce, TrueCommerce)
-
Flexport background
-
Supabase, Next.js, AI agents, LLM tooling, or agentic production systems
Strong signals include big tech startup ownership arcs, Flexport or logistics-adjacent backgrounds, mission-critical backend ownership, reliability and observability depth, and real product ownership in startup environments.
-
Big tech-only profiles with no startup ownership
-
Job hoppers with weak shipped outcomes
-
Low-agency or structured execution-only engineers
-
Health insurance
-
Equity compensation (0.1% – 0.5%)
