About VORTO

Vorto is on a mission to improve America's Supply Chain efficiency and sustainability. Vorto uses AI technology to reduce empty miles and idle time created in matching shippers and truckers. Additionally, it deploys an agentic AI platform to automate and remove inefficiencies from all players involved in Supply Chain. This reduces carbon emission from trucks, makes products more affordable for everyday American, and improves the lives and earnings of approximately 3.5 million truck drivers in America which is the largest entrepreneurial population.

We operate in a very fast-paced and nimble environment that is highly focused on a team-first, accomplishment-focused culture that is passionate about our mission's success. Our products have been developed by a world-class engineering team that simplifies and solves complex business problems. We encourage you to visit our careers page and read this blog post to learn more about our culture.

Some Facts About Us:

• Over $1 billion of freight under management
• Cashflow positive since inception
• Backed by Golden Gate Capital, a Tier 1 private equity firm based in San Francisco, CA. Golden Gate has a diverse portfolio of companies with over $15 billion in committed capital.

About the Role

We are looking for a Backend Engineer who thrives in one of the hardest environments in business: legacy supply chains, enterprise customers, startup speed, and chaotic real-world operations. At Vorto, engineers are builder-owners who turn messy, ambiguous problems into automated, scalable systems that transform how freight moves across America.

You'll work across the stack to design, build, and operate mission-critical services - embedding AI agents, stabilizing and scaling high-volume systems, and automating workflows that eliminate manual work. Successful engineers here move with 10× speed, recover quickly, understand fundamentals deeply, and own outcomes end-to-end. If you want to build world-class systems, solve real-world complexity, and operate at the intersection of AI and logistics, this role is for you.

What You Will Do:
  • Design, build, and operate services used daily by shippers, carriers, and drivers
  • Automate developer-dependent tasks (e.g., tool creation and debugging) to accelerate internal and customer automation efforts
  • Embed AI/LLMs (Vertex AI, opensource models, agentic tools) to automate decisionmaking and supercharge developer productivity
  • Stabilize backend services
  • Own Problems end to end
What You'll Work With

Backend: Golang, Python, Postgres, Redis

Infra: GCP

What Sets You Up for Success
Musthaves:
  • 3+ years of professional software engineering experience delivering production systems at scale.
  • Strong background in product driven backend development
  • Deep understanding of what makes systems performant, scalable, and maintainable
  • Fluency with SQL schema design and data modeling for transactional & analytical workloads.
  • Demonstrated ability to leverage LLMs/AI agents to boost velocity and solve novel problems.
  • Superior product reasoning skills
  • Exceptional written & verbal communication; able to align technical decisions with business outcomes.
Nicetohaves:
  • Proven track record of owning problems end to end
  • Startup experience
  • Experience stabilizing and scaling large code bases
How We Work
  • Autonomy with accountability - small, missionfocused squads own features from concept to customer value.
  • AIaccelerated development - Copilot, Cursor, and our own agentic tools are part of the standard toolkit.
  • Continuous delivery mindset - we ship daily, sometimes multiple times a day. We love dark launching and aren't afraid of hotfixes or rollbacks
