At **Hemut**, we’re rethinking how logistics works — with software that’s fast, intelligent, and (mostly) doesn’t crash. We’re building **AI-powered systems** that automate freight operations, optimize routes, and make dispatching less of a guessing game and more of a science.
As a **Software Engineer**, you’ll be part of a small, high-impact team where everyone ships production code, debates architecture in Slack threads, and occasionally celebrates deployments with memes. Your work will span APIs, web interfaces, AI integrations, and data pipelines — the real stuff that keeps trucks (and people) moving.
**The Hemut Story and a [Quick Intro](https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/NXf-hemut-ai-powered-truck-management-software)**
* Cheema (Founder & CEO) started in trucking at **16 years old** as a means to **escape homelessness**, eventually scaling to **management of a 12-truck fleet**
* Afterwards, he gained further experience in **logistics and international shipping** through starting an ethnic grocery store and restaurant
* **6 months ago, Cheema founded Hemut** to solve the inefficiencies he faced during his 6 years in trucking with the new AI capabilities that were becoming available
* He **sold the restaurant and grocery store to bootstrap Hemut**, and gained acceptance into YC with his **technical co-founder, Anthony**
