Who we are

Gatik, the leader in autonomous middle-mile logistics, is revolutionizing the B2B supply chain with its autonomous transportation-as-a-service (ATaaS) solution and prioritizing safe, consistent deliveries while streamlining freight movement by reducing congestion. The company focuses on short-haul, B2B logistics for Fortune 500 retailers and in 2021 launched the world’s first fully driverless commercial transportation service with Walmart. Gatik's Class 3-7 autonomous trucks are commercially deployed across major markets, including Texas, Arkansas, and Ontario, Canada, driving innovation in freight transportation. 

The company's proprietary Level 4 autonomous technology, Gatik Carrier™, is custom-built to transport freight safely and efficiently between pick-up and drop-off locations on the middle mile. With robust capabilities in both highway and urban environments, Gatik Carrier™ serves as an all-encompassing solution that integrates advanced software and hardware powering the fleet, facilitating effortless integration into customers' logistics operations. 

About the role

We are seeking senior/staff frontend engineers for our software team to build our fleet management platform. This tool provides customers and partners with real-time visibility into and control over our AV fleet - enabling safe, efficient, and responsive operations in middle-mile logistics. You'll play a key role in shaping intuitive, high-performance user interfaces that make complex systems simple and actionable.

What you'll do

• Design, develop, and maintain responsive, performant web applications using React and TypeScript.
• Build reusable UI components and design systems, translating Figma designs into production-ready Storybook components.
• Optimize front-end performance across browsers and devices, with special focus on map-based views and data-heavy dashboards (e.g., telemetry, analytics).
• Collaborate with backend, platform, and infrastructure teams to ensure frontend reliability, scalability, and observability.
• Work closely with PMs and designers to turn user needs into technical execution plans.
• Make strategic decisions on frameworks, tooling, and architecture to ensure long-term code quality and maintainability.
• Champion frontend engineering best practices in performance, accessibility, and security.
• Own and implement frontend test coverage using unit, integration, and end-to-end testing frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Cypress).
• Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and product design sessions to improve quality and cross-functional alignment.
• Drive continuous improvement in developer experience, UI consistency, and system responsiveness.

What we're looking for

• 6+ years of professional experience building web applications with React and TypeScript.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Deep understanding of state management, component-driven architecture, and modern frontend design patterns.
• Experience working with real-time data (e.g., WebSockets, polling) and interactive mapping libraries like Mapbox, Google Maps, or Leaflet.
• Familiarity with integrating APIs (REST and GraphQL) and backend services.
• Strong instincts for UI/UX and the ability to work closely with design and product teams to build intuitive interfaces.
• Comfortable working in CI/CD, Agile, and cross-functional environments.
• Experience with performance monitoring tools (e.g., Sentry, Datadog).
• Exposure to logistics, fleet management, or telematics platforms is a plus.
• Experience working in startups or fast-moving, collaborative engineering teams is highly valued.

Salary Range- $140,000- $200,000

More about Gatik

Founded in 2017 by experts in autonomous vehicle technology, Gatik has rapidly expanded its presence to Mountain View, Dallas-Fort Worth, Arkansas, and Toronto. As the first and only company to achieve fully driverless middle-mile commercial deliveries, Gatik holds a unique and defensible position in the AV industry, with a clear trajectory toward sustainable growth and profitability.

We have delivered complete, proprietary AV technology - an integration of software and hardware - to enable earlier successes for our clients in constrained Level 4 autonomy.  By choosing the middle mile – with defined point-to-point delivery, we have simplified some of the more complex AV challenges, enabling us to achieve full autonomy ahead of competitors. Given extensive knowledge of Gatik’s well-defined, fixed route ODDs and hybrid architecture, we are able to hyper-optimize our models with exponentially less data, establish gate-keeping mechanisms to maintain explainability, and ensure continued safety of the system for unmanned operations.
