Our Product Solutions team is looking for a Product Engineer to drive internal product outcomes across the business. This role sits at the intersection of business strategy and technical execution. You'll be the connective tissue between our business leaders, internal teams, and development team, translating real operational problems into scoped, shipped solutions. You connect the dots across teams, tools, and data, and you see how today's quick fix fits into a larger product vision. If you have already built and shipped your own software projects, especially in freight or logistics, we want to hear from you! This is not a traditional development role. You are a technically fluent problem solver who moves fast, thinks in systems, and delivers outcomes. Whether that means building a solution yourself using modern AI-powered tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or Replit, or handing a precise, well-scoped plan to our development team to execute. Ally sees significant value in technically enabled individuals who can own a problem end-to-end, from the first conversation with a stakeholder to a working solution in production, and who keep growing that solution long after launch. You know when an idea should stay a quick prototype, when it has earned a place as a team tool, and when it is ready to become a full product. You have real freedom in how you build, within clear bounds: every prototype, tool, and product you ship moves the company toward the outcomes in Ally's strategic vision. The Ally Logistics team is committed to hustling each day, because #HUSTLE means something more here. Our mission as a company is To Move Freight , Better. This mission bleeds into everything we do, as we are continually on a quest for better - better service, better communication, better culture, better technology, better growth.

HUNGRY : A healthy sense of competition is a necessity here. We’re seeking individuals who are striving for both professional and financial success, and who are seeking any and all opportunities for growth. SMART : We’re looking for individuals who are resourceful and organized problem-solvers, diving head first into problems rather than straying away from them. PRIMARY JOB DUTIES: Lead discovery conversations with business leaders and internal teams to deeply understand operational pain points, workflows, and goals Translate business needs into clear, well-scoped project plans including requirements, architecture, timelines, and success criteria Own a product space across multiple internal tools and operational software platforms — discovering the opportunity, developing the solution, and maintaining it through prioritization, adoption, and continuous improvement Sequence work deliberately from prototype tool product: validate ideas fast, harden what works, and scale what earns adoption Connect the dots between tools, data, and teams to shape a larger product vision and roadmap, rather than a collection of one-off fixes Build freely within the bounds of the company's strategic vision — choose problems by the outcomes leadership has set, and show how each build moves those outcomes forward Rapidly prototype and deliver solutions using AI coding agents and low-code development tools, owning the build when speed demands it Architect solutions with scalability in mind — understanding how systems should be structured, integrated, and maintained at scale Leverage LLMs and agentic tooling to design and build intelligent, automated workflows that reduce friction across freight operations Write clear technical specifications and handoff documentation that enable the development team to execute with precision and full context Coordinate cross-functional adoption of new tools and processes, driving alignment and communication…
