Lo que hace BlueCargo

BlueCargo is building the automated solution for complex freight transactions. We envision a world where BlueCargo manages all financial transactions between logistics businesses, so they can focus on moving cargo. We help global shippers optimize their supply chain with accurate and automated financial and operational audits, and a tech first user experience. Our startup was founded by two female entrepreneurs, graduated from Y Combinator (2018 batch), and has raised a 4 million seed round followed by a $11m Series A. The company has two offices located in Los Angeles and New York. We are at the beginning of an exciting growth phase where we have already developed product-market fit, a working platform, and hundreds of daily active users. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineers to grow the team and deliver a product to bring us to the next level. If working to bring technology to the logistics industry sounds exciting, then we’d like to connect with you! We are looking for a highly experienced professional who has created several full stack web applications and has experience with AWS.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Automated platform for complex freight financials.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a platform that automates financial transactions and operational audits between logistics companies. It helps shippers manage complex freight deals with accurate billing and a user-friendly tech experience, so they can focus on moving cargo instead of paperwork.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are based in Los Angeles with an additional office in New York. After YC, we would continue operations primarily in Los Angeles, our founding city and main hub.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Los Angeles is where our founding team is based and where we initially built the product. We expanded to New York to be closer to major logistics clients on the East Coast, but LA remains our core base.
