We're hiring a Product Engineer to help us build tools that make global logistics faster and smarter.
Role: Forward Deployed Engineer
Location: Dallas, TX
Type: Full Time
Compensation: $150,000–$350,000, based on experience
About Vesel
Vesel is building the next generation of logistics infrastructure—software that thinks, learns, and accelerates how freight moves. As a Product Engineer, you'll own problems end-to-end. You’ll design features, write production code, talk to users, and drive product decisions that shape how global trade actually works. This isn’t a product management role. This is for builders who think in interfaces, obsess over edge cases, and ship fast without breaking things.
Why This Role Exists
Logistics teams don’t need more dashboards—they need tools that work like an extension of their brain. Vesel integrates directly into the workflows where freight is quoted, priced, and moved. Our customers run on email, spreadsheets, tribal knowledge, and gut instinct—and we’re bringing structure to that chaos. You’ll help turn those messy workflows into elegant, intelligent systems.
What You'll Do
- Build core features across the stack—especially ones that sit at the intersection of UX, ops logic, and AI integration
- Talk to users, identify problems, and scope solutions with an ownership mindset
- Ship fast, test intelligently, and make decisions with incomplete data
- Work closely with forward deployed engineers to understand customer environments and deliver usable tools
- Collaborate with design and founders to shape product direction and roadmap
Who We're Looking For
- 3–6+ years of experience in full-stack or frontend-heavy engineering roles
- Skilled in modern web stacks (React, TypeScript, Node, Python, etc.)
- Strong product intuition—you care about the why as much as the how
- A bias for action and high standards for quality
- Ability to work in ambiguity and break large problems into small shippable parts
- Startup or high-velocity experience preferred
Bonus if you:
- Have designed systems with AI, workflow automation, or structured data extraction
- Understand the quirks of logistics, ops-heavy SaaS, or tools built for non-technical users
- Have shipped internal tools, SaaS products, or no-code-style interfaces
What We Offer
- Competitive salary + early equity
- High ownership, zero politics, and real-world impact
- Direct access to customers and feedback loops that move in days, not quarters
- Relocation support and housing assistance in Dallas
- A chance to help rebuild the infrastructure behind the physical world
