From Rockstar's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Rockstar is recruiting for an AI-native parent brokerage that provides independent freight agents with hands-on support and tools to scale revenue without adding headcount. The client is building software for independent freight agents in a $600B industry, and its first handful of agents already represent $800k+ of ARR.
The Problem
Independent freight agents are the backbone of a $600B industry. They run $2-50M books of business, often from a home office, and they live in software all day: covering loads, sourcing carriers, quoting, chasing new shippers, and handling back-office work. Almost none of that software was built for them. It was built for large brokerages with IT departments.
The client is an AI-native parent brokerage that provides agents with hands-on support and tools to scale revenue without adding headcount. The client's first handful of agents already represent $800k+ of ARR, a few months after the client moved its first load. The product supports their core workflows today, but freight is messy, and the list of problems the client hasn't solved yet is long.
You'll own features end to end: talking to agents, deciding what to build, designing the interface, writing the backend, and shipping to production. Nobody hands you specs or mocks. You'll work as a peer to the client's Product Lead and two Founding Engineers, sharing ownership of what the client builds and how it works.
For example, you might figure out how a dispatcher should triage forty loads before 9am, build the interface and the services behind it, and put it in agents' hands the same week.
This is a good fit for a strong engineer who has had a taste of product work (scoping a feature, running user sessions, making the design call) and wants a role where that's the whole job, not a side quest.
Six months in, you've shipped dozens of features that agents use every day and would notice if they disappeared. You can point to specific workflows that are measurably faster or more effective because of your work. And the product feels more coherent than when you arrived, because the patterns you set are the ones the rest of the team builds on.
