About Lighthouz AI

Lighthouz AI is automating the back office accounting of freight brokers with freight-native AI agents. Our AI agents process messy document paperwork in accounting in seconds—not hours—by replacing manual data verification, extraction, & audits and brittle RPA. 

Our platform thrives in real-world document chaos—scanned and handwritten paperwork, and ambiguous emails—executing complex workflows automatically. The result: faster invoicing, quicker time-to-get-paid, fewer disputes, and 10x operational growth. 

We’re a Y Combinator S24 company, founded by a team with deep experience across AI, supply chain, and enterprise systems (Google, Georgia Tech, Progressive). At Lighthouz, we’re not just streamlining freight finance—we’re rebuilding it from the ground up.

• Design, build, and maintain high-quality, scalable software across frontend and backend
• Develop frontend applications using Next.js
• Build backend services and APIs using Go (Golang) and/or Python
• Write clean, well-tested, and maintainable code
• Collaborate closely with product managers and designers to ship features fast
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering best practices
• Take ownership of features from concept to production
• Continuously learn and adapt to new technologies and requirements

Required Skills & Experience

• 4-6 years of professional software development experience
• Strong experience with JavaScript / TypeScript and Next.js
• Experience with Golang and/or Python (preference for candidates comfortable with both)
• Solid understanding of REST APIs, backend services, and databases
• Experience working in a startup or fast-paced product environment
• Good understanding of software engineering fundamentals and system design
• Ability to write clean, readable, and efficient code
• Strong problem-solving skills and ownership mindset

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building B2B SaaS products
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure)
• Exposure to Docker, Kubernetes, or CI/CD pipelines
• Experience with modern databases (Postgres, MongoDB, etc.)
• Prior experience scaling systems or working on performance-critical paths

About Lighthouz AI

Lighthouz AI is automating the back office of freight finance with freight-native AI agents. We help freight brokers, 3PLs, and factoring companies process invoices, rate confirmations, and PoDs in seconds—not hours—by replacing manual audits and brittle RPA with intelligent automation.

Freight is a $10T industry still run on PDFs, faxes, and spreadsheets. Every invoice, PoD, rate con, and NOA has to be manually audited, verified, and cross-checked—costing brokers and factors millions in delay, fraud, and operational drag.

At Lighthouz AI, we’re eliminating that chaos.

We’re building freight-native AI agents that read messy documents, verify critical data, and resolve exceptions in seconds—completely hands-off..

We’re a YC S24 company, backed by top investors, and already working with some of the most forward-thinking brokers and factoring companies in the US.
