About Lighthouz AI

Lighthouz AI is automating the back office of freight finance with freight-native AI agents. We help freight brokers, 3PLs, and factoring companies process invoices, rate confirmations, and PoDs in seconds-not hours-by replacing manual audits and brittle RPA with intelligent automation.

Our platform handles real-world document chaos-scanned and handwritten paperwork, NOAs, BOLs, emails, and portal logins-executing complex workflows automatically. The result: faster payments, fewer disputes, and 10x operational throughput. We're a Y Combinator S24 company founded by a team with deep experience across AI, supply chain, and enterprise systems (Google, Georgia Tech, Progressive, Halliburton). At Lighthouz, we're not just streamlining freight finance-we're rebuilding it from the ground up., We're looking for a Backend Engineer with familiarity with front end tech to join our fast-growing engineering team. You'll play a key role in building and scaling the core infrastructure powering our AI agents-from data ingestion and document processing to audit logic and integration pipelines. You'll work closely with our founders to ship production-grade systems that support high-volume freight workflows and power real-time financial decision-making.
What You'll Do

Design and build scalable backend systems to support AI-driven invoice and document processing

Integrate with freight industry systems-TMSs, FMS, factoring portals, and ERPs

Develop APIs, data pipelines, and audit engines that drive automation

Collaborate with AI/ML teams to productionize model outputs

Implement observability, performance monitoring, and logging across services

Help shape engineering best practices in a fast-paced, early-stage environment

Make frontend updates as necessary
