CloudTrucks is building a platform that reimagines what is needed to operate a trucking business. We use technology and data to innovate in a space that affects one of America’s largest essential workforces. Here are some of the challenges we are solving for:
CloudTrucks provides a "business in a box" solution for truck drivers, taking on the back office business operations and tasks involved in running a trucking business. To do that, we build business logic, workflows, and data models capable of handling the complexities and messiness of the real world.
Building out fintech products and an ecosystem to service truckers, one of the most common occupations in America.
Building deep integrations and partnerships across the multi-billion dollar trucking ecosystem. Surfacing these capabilities as products and features on our platform.
As we continue scaling the business, ensuring our services function well at 10x our current load and beyond. Our platform needs to be highly available 24/7: truckers are out on the road at all hours and financial transactions like credit card charges are routed to us in real time.
Analyzing and leveraging the vast amounts of data available to us to help our customers and our platform operate more efficiently and with greater insights. This can range from data streaming off trucks on the road in real time, changing market and price data across the country, to data related to financials, safety, and risk.
As an early engineer on the team, you will make an outsized impact at the company by collaborating with cross functional teams to solve problems and ship products that meaningfully impact and empower the truck drivers on our platform as well as our internal facing teams.

About CloudTrucks
CloudTrucks is a virtual trucking carrier in the multi-billion dollar trucking space. Core to this industry are over 3.5M truck drivers. They move more than 70% of all goods transported around the U.S., yet operate in a highly fragmented industry with huge opportunities for products, services and automation. We strive to deliver solutions that help truck drivers operate with much greater efficiency, increase their revenue, and offload business complexity. We are looking for uniquely exceptional people to join us on our journey as we massively scale into an industry-defining business. Recently, we raised $115 million in a Series B round.
