Prox
AI-native OS for Customer Experience
Founding Forward Deployed Engineer
About the role
- this is for people who are competitive, delusional, and ambitious. the role is almost exclusively for someone who wants to be a founder in the future. the experience you're signing up for is going to be as close to the founding experience as humanly possible.
- you'll be working with some of the biggest logistics companies in the US, onboarding them onto our AI-native OS for logistics and deploying agents that replace e2e work that used to take entire departments.
Do not apply if:
- you don't work well in ambiguity & want clearly scoped tasks and projects
- you don't see yourself constantly talking to non-technical customers and building alongside them.
- you can't travel across the US on very short notice to write code on-site with customers for weeks at a time
- you can't work in person in SF & you prioritize work-life balance
Apply if:
- the idea of traveling the US on very short notice excites you. our current record is going to Chicago to deploy for a customer on 4 hours notice.
- you prioritize people you build for above everything else. it gives you genuine pleasure when they're surprised how fast you fixed their problem or shipped a feature.
- you're a recent grad or early in your career and want to compress decades of experience into years.
- you're a first-principles thinker. the only constant in this role is change. you’ll context-switch across projects and domains many times a month.
- you do most of your work in Claude Code and you're obsessed with hyper-optimizing your setup.
- you started building with LLMs 2-3 years ago, almost immediately after GPT-4 or 3.5 launched

About Prox
-
everything you see around you right now as you're reading this was brought to you by a truck and went through a network of complicated fulfillment centers, with hundreds of people coordinating just to get items from point A to B.
-
this coordination work creates billion of dollars worth of inefficiencies in the US logistics that are impossible to solve in any other way but with AI.
-
you can safely bet that in the next 5 years >60% of white collar logistics work will be performed by AI, so we're building Prox to be the default AI infrastructure provider for US logistics.
-
we start with fulfillment centers, this is the area that we know really well, since Greg and I grew up inside a fulfillment centers, both of our families owned one.
-
we're currently a small team, but we already have multi-billion dollar fulfillment companies paying for our agents that are processing hundreds of thousands of dollars of transactions in production each month. this market that is pulling our agents out of us and the only bottleneck we have is onboarding them as fast as possible.
-
after we've covered that market entirely, we expand out to all of US logistics, where we will become the default AI infrastructure provider.
-
we'll make United States supply chain the most efficient in the world. all coordination, communication, documentation, and compliance in supply chain will be handled by Prox AI.
