Senior Backend Engineer San Francisco / Hybrid / Remote About Nash Logistics is the substrate beneath every economy that has ever existed, and it remains the least intelligently coordinated activity in the modern world. Consumer expectations are converging on instantaneous, perfect, free. Networks are not. We call this gap the Logistics Singularity, and closing it is the work.

Nash is the Autonomic Logistics OS. We unify decisioning, execution, and capacity into a single programmable system that pursues a business’s objectives continuously, adapts as conditions change, and runs the operation at equilibrium across orders, fleets, carriers, providers, and customers. The world’s largest retailers, grocers, and pharmacies (including Walmart, 7-Eleven, Woolworths, and Coles) run their critical workflows on Nash.

Founded by Mahmoud Ghulman and Aziz Alghunaim, and backed by Y Combinator, a16z, and other top investors. We are based in San Francisco.

About the Role We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to design and build the systems at the core of the Autonomic Logistics OS: the services that turn real-world constraints into real-time decisions, route millions of jobs to the right execution path, and keep promises across fleets, gig networks, and carrier providers. You will work directly with our VP of Engineering, CTO/ co-founder, alongside a tight, high-ownership engineering team.

This is a role for someone energized by complexity. Logistics has no static optimum: stores close, weather changes, providers exit markets, demand shifts. The systems you build will sense those conditions, recalculate, and continuously refind the equilibrium in motion that keeps a customer’s promises intact.

What You’ll Do
• Design and build the backend services that power Nash’s decisioning, execution, and capacity layers, including job orchestration, carrier selection, real-time tracking, and post-purchase workflows.
• Own complex systems from architecture through deployment, observability, and continuous performance work in production.
• Build and harden the…
