Founding Backend Engineer

Velix is a venture-backed startup building a financial operations platform for logistics. Our early customers lose countless hours and tens of thousands of dollars every year reconciling, managing disputes, and connecting fragmented systems.

We’ve built a product that streamlines that work and connects finance, operations, and partners in one unified platform.

We’re now hiring our Founding Backend Engineer — a pivotal role in shaping the technical foundation and culture of Velix. You’ll join as one of the first two engineers, working directly with the founders to translate customer pain into scalable, elegant systems that make logistics finance work like magic.

We’re looking for a world-class full-stack engineer with strength on the backend who loves turning complex, messy systems into simple, scalable ones.

Own the backend foundation — architecture, APIs, integrations, data pipelines, and infrastructure.

Design and build Document processing (AI & OCR) pipelines that extract and reconcile financial data across carriers, customers, and systems.

Collaborate closely with customers and founders to understand real pain points and translate them into elegant technical solutions.

Move fast, ship fast. Propose and deliver solutions end-to-end without heavy oversight.

Wear multiple hats. You might spin up infrastructure one day, design an internal tool the next, and optimize performance the day after.

Shape the culture. Help define our engineering principles, code quality standards, and internal processes as we scale.

Build with leverage. Use AI tools like Claude Code and Cursor to accelerate delivery, prototype ideas, and improve developer velocity.
