About Us:

Outpost is building the backbone of freight. We’re reinventing how supply chain infrastructure works in America with carrier agnostic truck terminals. As a vertically integrated real estate, operations, and technology company, we acquire and operate mission-critical real estate across the country to serve the largest logistics providers in the world. Backed by $1B from Greenpoint Partners, we’re scaling and building the most valuable logistics network in the country.

We thrive on accountability, integrity, and a shared drive to raise the bar. If you’re excited to reshape the industry alongside a high-performance team with a championship mindset that executes relentlessly, welcome aboard.

Role Summary:

Our platform combines AI-powered gate automation, computer vision, and operational software to help logistics operators run smarter, faster facilities. We're a small, high-conviction team shipping real software that ends up in real yards, at real gates, moving real freight; and we're growing fast, with revenue set to grow 10X over the next 18 months.

As we onboard more customers, our computer vision system sees more camera layouts, identifier types, and edge cases than ever. We need someone to own accuracy end-to-end: measuring it, understanding why we get it wrong, and turning that into the labeled data that makes our models better. Today that's mostly measurement and curation. Once the pipeline matures and moves into maintenance mode, we expect this role to also contribute fixes to the product itself, not just flag issues for others to resolve.
