Co-Founder & CTO (Solo Builder) - AI Logistics Platform for D2C Brands

AI-driven logistics platform for Indian D2C brands

• High RTO
• Fake NDR attempts
• Courier lies
• COD fraud
• Address failures
• No intelligence
• No automation

This is not a “CTO with a tech team.”

solo-builder role

If you need a team on Day 1 — this is not for you

Your Responsibilities (You Build Everything)

• Architect the product end-to-end
• Build Shopify and WooCommerce plugins
• Integrate with courier APIs (Delhivery, Xpressbees, etc.)
• Build the shipping engine (rates, labels, routing rules)
• Create the tracking system (public + merchant dashboard)
• Build COD and settlement flows
• Develop NDR dashboard + messaging flows
• Set up full DevOps + cloud infra (AWS/GCP)
• Build first ML model (RTO scoring)
• Ship WhatsApp automation for COD→Prepaid
• Implement pre-shipment video capture
• Build scalable backend for 10k→100k daily shipments
• Own security, versioning, releases, monitoring
• Build until we hire more devs

entire engineering department for the first phase.

Skills You Must Bring

• Strong backend engineering (Node/Go/Python)
• API integrations experience
• PostgreSQL + Redis
• Queue systems (Kafka/RabbitMQ/SQS)
• AWS/GCP infra
• CI/CD and containerization
• Can build dashboards in React/Next.js
• Can deliver features without dependencies

• Shopify API experience
• WhatsApp Business API familiarity
• Basic ML (classification models)
• Logistics or commerce experience

You should not need “data scientists”, “SRE”, “frontend team” or “DevOps team” to get shit done.

Mindset Requirements

This is for someone who:

• Wants

  equity more than salary

• Can execute with no support
• Enjoys solving real-world chaos
• Prefers building over pitching
• Can go from zero → working product in 60 days
• Is willing to own failures and wins
• Has founder-level hunger, not employee thinking
• Understands that delays kill startups

anti-bureaucracy and pro-output.

100-Day Build Targets

You alone should ship:

1. Merchant onboarding + KYC
2. Shopify integration
3. 2 courier partners live
4. Label generation
5. Tracking page
6. COD→Prepaid flow
7. NDR panel
8. Basic RTO prediction
9. AWS infra ready
10. Dashboard for merchants

If this feels unrealistic — don’t apply.

Compensation

• Equity Only: 10–15%

• Vesting 4 years / 1-year cliff
• No salary until revenue or pre-seed
• Salary after either:
• GMV milestone
• Institutional round

If you need a salary now — walk away.

Why This Is Big

undisrupted $50B+ logistics opportunity.

Everyone is slow, outdated and non-technical.

Nobody is using AI to solve:

• RTO probability
• NDR pattern detection
• Courier scoring
• COD fraud risk
• Address enrichment

AI OS for Indian logistics.

This is a once-in-a-decade build.
