Founding Engineer - Anchor AI Job at Pear VC in San Francisco

About the job

Global trade still runs on outdated, time-consuming manual workflows. We're fixing that! Anchor AI is building AI agents for customs brokers. Our AI works alongside humans to help brokers process more shipments- faster, with fewer errors.

We're growing fast, backed by First Round Capital (early investors in Flexport), Pear VC, and other top investors. The timing is perfect : with the changes from the current administration, the market is waking up to the potential of AI. We're racing to be the default AI platform for them.

About Us

We're a deeply technical founding team from Google, LinkedIn, and AI research labs-backed by top-tier investors. We're building tools logistics professionals wish they had : turning messy, fragmented data into powerful insights and automated systems.

The space is massive. The need is urgent. We're moving fast.

The Role : Build the Foundation

As a Founding Engineer, you'll shape both our product and technology from the ground up. You'll help define system architecture, inform product direction, and ship features that deliver real value-fast.

This is a high-leverage role for someone who enjoys full ownership, moves quickly, and builds with purpose.

What You'll Do

• Design and build AI-powered logistics solutions end-to-end.
• Develop across the stack : from polished, intuitive front-ends to scalable, reliable back-ends.
• Own core systems and features from design to deployment.
