About the role

Software Engineer (Product)

Conduit is the operating system for shipping and receiving, bringing enterprise-grade operational control to the vast majority of warehouses legacy systems weren’t built for. We orchestrate tasks across docks, gates, and yards with connected workflows and a unified data layer that closes the gap between WMS/TMS and the physical dock — delivering real-time visibility, accountability, and automation so sites can improve throughput and reduce loss.

We started as a dock scheduler and management tool and have expanded into a platform that orchestrates work across every dock and site. We’re focused on operators who run multi-site warehouse networks and need enterprise capability without enterprise overhead, providing consistency without forced uniformity. Each Conduit solution delivers standalone value — together they replace silos with connected workflows and a single source of truth.

We recently closed a $6M Seed, have zero churn, and hit 172% NRR this year. We’re focused on scaling our product broadly while continuing to solve real operational problems for warehouse operators. Our team brings deep technical and logistics expertise; we’re building an enduring company that transforms operations across the warehousing industry.

What we're looking for

As a product-minded Software Engineer you’ll play a critical role in growing the company and our product. Your core job is to build great product features, but you’ll also work directly with customers and occasionally support go-to-market and customer success — a chance to learn the domain deeply while shipping work that delivers immediate operational value. You’ll work closely with the CEO and CTO and help define how warehouses run.

Expectations

As a product-minded Software Engineer, you will …

  • Lead development of features across the stack, ensuring they are reliable, scalable, and impactful.

  • Take projects from initial insight to launch by validating problems, defining solutions, and delivering a polished user experience.

  • Use your judgement to make product decisions without needing layers of approval.

  • Collaborate with design, or often design UI/UX yourself when speed matters.

  • Make sound technical decisions that balance the delivery of today’s features with building a foundation for tomorrow’s.

  • Contribute to a development experience and infrastructure that accelerates product delivery as we grow.

  • Play a pivotal role in establishing the company’s product direction, culture, and processes.

  • Occasionally travel to customer sites.

You’ll be trusted with real responsibility early, and we’ll support you every step of the way!

This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco. We are typically in the office Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, but are generally flexible.

Qualifications

You will thrive here if you...

  • Ideally have 6+ years of full stack experience. With a baseline level of comfort with web development, experience with our tech stack (Python, Django, Svelte, Postgres) is not a requirement; in fact, you will have a major voice in choosing new technologies.

  • Are driven by curiosity and a desire to learn. You aren’t expected to start out an expert on anything, but you should aspire to develop that expertise as the situation requires.

  • Are persistent in driving through blockers and towards solutions.

  • Make confident trade-offs in low-leverage decisions, but also have a keen eye for identifying high-leverage inflection points.

  • Exercise empathy with our customers and their partners to understand their pain points.

  • Are adaptive to changes and learnings.

  • Have logistics and startup experience - a plus, but not a requirement

Benefits

  • Significant Equity in a company with great growth potential

  • Flexible and Friendly PTO

  • Employee coverage for Medical, Dental, and Vision

  • 401(k)

About Conduit

Replacing the spreadsheets and email chains that run every warehouse dock in America

Conduit systemizes the planning and execution of dock and yard operations into one platform — dock scheduling, driver check-in, yard management, and compliance documentation. Our workflows give operators leverage to increase throughput and reduce waste. Our platform produces the clean, structured data that makes AI possible — data that doesn't exist elsewhere.

The dock is where physical custody of goods changes hands — the most consequential moment in the supply chain, and the least invested-in. WMS stops at staging. TMS doesn't reach the dock. Everything in between is still running on email, spreadsheets, and clipboards. We're closing that gap for the 99% of warehouses that legacy systems were never designed to serve.
