About the role

ABOUT FLEETGENCargo theft and carrier fraud cost U.S. shippers and brokers hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Since the Supreme Court's Montgomery v. Caribe ruling in May 2026, freight brokers can be sued for hiring the wrong carrier. FleetGen is the compliance and carrier verification platform brokers use to make sure the carrier hauling a load is who they claim to be. • Used by teams at Amazon, GEICO and the U.S. Department of Transportation • 3,000+ users, and over 2 million carrier searches in a single month at our peak earlier this year • Our carrier search is the core of the product.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
