We're building the AI Agent for logistics

The first "skill" we built for the Vooma Agent automates order entry from shippers, which is the process of reading emails and keying in details about a load. It's a ubiquitous and expensive pain point for brokers and carriers, and the perfect wedge for building our broader platform.

The second skill we launched automates quoting. For every truckload that our customers move, they quote on many more, often by email. By embedding in a user's email inbox, Vooma is able to automate most of the quoting process, and surface critical funnel data that has historically been hidden in thousands of emails.

We've raised our seed round from Tier 1 investors and leading industry angels. We have enterprise contracts with leading logistics companies. Our team is made up of top talent from AI research and autonomous vehicles.

Our team

Vooma is founded by Jesse Buckingham and Mike Carter. Mike built self driving trucks as a founding engineer at Kodiak Robotics (raised $250M) where he established and led their motion planning and safety teams. Jesse was previously CEO at a private equity backed logistics software company that sold to brokers and truckers which he grew from $2M to $20M+ ARR.

Skills: GraphQL, Python, TypeScript, Node.js

Enterprise software is in the midst of a revolution. The world is shifting from “systems of record” to “systems of automation” - LLM powered agents and orchestrators that perform complex business tasks on behalf of and in concert with humans, with increasing levels of autonomy.

The opportunity for AI agents is dramatically larger than the opportunity for pure software; businesses spend orders of magnitude more on labor than on traditional forms of software. Every major vertical will begin to adopt AI labor, and we believe the most important companies of the AI revolution will be the ones that lead this shift.

Vooma’s mission is to build the AI Agent for America’s $800+ BN trucking industry.

Everything we touch in the physical world is moved on a truck - it’s the backbone of the US economy. Yet logistics today is still extremely manual, which makes it one of the hungriest industries for the shift toward AI Agents.

Vooma is backed by top-tier investors and CEOs, founders and executives from Nolan, Arrive, MoLo, NFI, Convoy, Uber Freight, Motive, Loop, OTR Capital, Project44, Trucker Tools and more. We have enterprise contracts with many of the largest freight businesses in the US.

This is a rare opportunity for you to join a talented and experienced team at the ground level to build a transformational company for a critical industry.

At Vooma, you’ll harness the power of LLMs to transform the way freight is executed. You’ll work with us to combine the latest in computer vision, natural language and autonomous systems to build robust AI behaviors and stunning product experiences for logistics teams that weren’t previously possible.

You’ll work with a modern web stack (Next.js, GraphQL, Node) and a cutting-edge AI stack (OpenAI, Anthropic, Open-Source models). You’ll code primarily in Typescript and Python.
