About UsRevenue Vessel is a venture-backed software company aiming to modernize how international logistics companies sell.Global logistics is a $40T market. Forwarders have historically relied on a rolodex-focused sales strategy, but as global trade gets more volatile, the old way is breaking. Revenue Vessel is trying to solve the problem: if the right information isn’t in front of the right person at the right time, ships and planes leave ports half-empty—driving up prices for consumers.The company builds intelligent agents on top of messy, complex trade data, integrates deeply into customers’ legacy systems, and makes companies more efficient. The co-founders bring deep domain expertise, including prior leadership at Flexport and Rutter API.Role OverviewYou’ll join a team of 6 engineers as a senior IC.
