Company

Tread is the AI-native operating system for the $660B construction materials logistics market: the aggregate, asphalt, and concrete behind every road, bridge, and building in the country. Our customers run the gamut: enterprise producers and contractors that supply the world's largest infrastructure projects, alongside the family-owned hauling fleets that have moved the material this work depends on for generations. They're the operators who actually build the roads, bridges, and buildings around us.

Most of the work still happens on paper tickets, phone calls, and disconnected scale houses. We're building the software they run on.

We crossed $2Bn in monthly delivered load value on the platform in July 2026. We’re at ~$XM ARR, and growing fast. Our enterprise customers reconcile real money, real freight, and real P&L against our data every day. Tread is the most important software they use.

We’re a Series A company backed by Mucker Capital.

We’re in growth mode. If you are fulfilled by ownership and a life-changing outcome, let’s connect.

We are hiring a hands-on product leader invigorated by how agents change the SDLC and product development. You will serve as the primary product partner for the CEO, taking full ownership of the product cycle and execution of critical roadmap areas, like payments and agentic scheduling optimization. You will spend significant time with our customers, like being onsite at construction sites to uncover critical user journeys and key value drivers.

You will be responsible in building the system that allows our small team to ship software at high speeds.

You will inherit a culture where everyone across the company is utilizing Claude Code in Terminal, and where majority of non-engineers are shipping PRs. Your job is to professionalize the cadence without slowing it down, and create the leverage needed for the company to scale. We have zero patience for corporate fluff; we care about what you shipped this week and the quality of the feedback loop you've built.

• Own the product loop:
  Convert field-level customer pain into shipped solutions by noon the next day.

• Be the CEO's primary thought partner on platform strategy, technical architecture, and prioritization.

• Drive the AI-native SDLC:
  Treat our development process as a product in itself, optimizing for speed through coding agents and automated workflows.

• Hire and scale the FDE function:
  You will lead the Forward Deployed Engineering team, ensuring they act as "founders-in-training" who ship customizations directly with customers.

• Eliminate layers:
  Maintain a culture of high agency where there is no committee between a good idea and production.

The SDLC is the product. You must be obsessed with using agent-based workflows, rapid prototyping, and coding agents to ship faster. If you aren't using AI to research, write specs, and prototype daily, you aren't the right fit.

You will hire, manage, and scale our Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) team. You'll ensure the FDE feedback loop—field pain to shipped feature—is tight, immediate, and high-velocity.

7–12+ years shipping software in high-growth, high-stakes environments. You should have a track record of owning product strategy and technical decision-making without needing hand-holding.

We're building software for the operators who build America.

Construction materials logistics is one of the largest essential industries in the world, and the software powering it remains decades behind.

You'll receive meaningful Series A equity in a business with strong product-market fit, rapidly growing enterprise customers, and more than $1B in monthly platform volume
