Baton is the Silicon Valley based technology innovation lab for Ryder, a Fortune 500 logistics company that owns 260k trucks and manages $7.4B of freight.

In September of 2022 Ryder acquired Baton to be their technology innovation lab. Prior to Ryder, Baton was a venture backed start up that was voted the #4 most disruptive company in freight (Amazon was #3)!

The problem we're solving

Our mission is to eliminate waste in supply chain by creating a digital platform that uses AI to improve how freight is planned.

There are 500 million hours wasted in trucking each year, over 3 billion gallons of fuel wasted per year from trucks idling, and 1 in 5 trucks on the road driving empty at any given point. This has a massive impact on the environment, the lives of millions of drivers, and ultimately, the cost of transportation that we all pay.

Your role: Software Engineer - Full-stack

We’re looking for a full-stack software engineer to help us build out a next-generation freight technology platform. As an engineer at Baton you’d be given the opportunity to make an impact on a growing team and to own the technical vision of our user facing products. We're looking for people who move fast and are driven to make complex and inefficient systems work better.

Why you should join us

• Have immediate impact
  • With Ryder’s existing customer base of 50,000+ companies and an internal headcount of 43,000 the scale and impact of our products will be large and far reaching, from day one.
• Opportunity to grow and lead in a fortune 500 company
  • We are primed to rapidly grow our team size in the next 12-18 months in efforts to build innovative products to help propel the transportation industry into the future.
  • You’ll get to work in a high paced, startup-like environment, while having the stability and backing of Ryder and their full executive team.
• Creative, fast paced environment to solve impactful problems in supply chain
  • Our team isn’t afraid to do what it takes to get the job done - whether that’s hacking something together to quickly test a prototype, hanging out at a warehouse all day to make sure we understand exactly what needs to be built, or designing and deploying innovative technology based solutions.
  • We’re going to design completely new tools for an industry that hasn’t been rethought in decades. And to do this we need people who think differently.
