Starboard is the “virtual infrastructure” company for global trade.

Our mission is to enable global trade by building and aggregating all enablers from technology to financing for logistic service providers and traders.

Our flagship launch product is an OS which leverages the power of LLM, ML algorithms together with live API integration to increase productivity of logistic service providers by 50-70%. Our AI bots seamlessly process shipments across multiple time zones to blend best of human execution capabilities, and relationships with speed and accuracy of technology

We launched our Beta product in early May and have witnessed a 250% WoW growth in shipments, and 100% increase in active users in the last couple of weeks. We are now hiring our founding engineer!

Meet the winning team:

Sumeet Trehan:

Ex-General Manager of Canada at Flexport ($8 billion valuation startup). GM of Maersk India (Maersk conducts 18% of the global shipping)

Junyu Yang:

Ex Founder who recently exited from an AI startup. Formerly AI at LinkedIn, Nike, Square, VSCO

You are the right candidate if you are motivated by:

Building something big. If we are successful, we will make global shipping much more efficient, reshaping countries’ economy and industries.
Your code matters: our customers’ business depends on our products. We hence move fast. We deploy multiple times a day. Your code will be used by eager customers in a matter of hours.
Autonomy: we are a small team. You will be trusted to make most decisions independently and carry the responsibility.
Living on the cutting edge of AI: the development of AI is breath-taking. We continue to delight our customers by challenging the definition of impossible, leveraging the latest technology. You will be at the forefront of that. Be comfortable with learning.

Who we are looking for:

A passion for delighting users. You will end-to-end own the experience we deliver to the customers. Good candidates want to fully understand the users so they can innovate on their behalf.
Get things done. We are a team of passionate doers. We deliver against ambitious goals with quality in mind. We are looking for people with similar caliber.
No ego. As a team, we learn from each other through honest and timely feedback. We thrive on constructive and objective communications and treating everyone equally (CEO included). There is no room to take things personal.
Good communicator. Even as a remote team, we communicate frequently because we believe good ideas and products are made together. “Give a task on Monday and I will deliver on Friday” doesn’t work here, because we probably want to iterate a few times by Wednesday.
Work hard. No great things come easy. We all work very hard and expect the same from our peers. If work-life-balance is important to you right now, this is not the right place. If you are hungry for success and growth, this is where you shine. We can promise you that you will be surrounded and supported by equally hungry and humble people with a very open culture.
