STACK IT Recruitment

Stack AV exists to revolutionize the $700 billion trucking industry through autonomous technology that addresses its most critical challenges: driver shortages, safety concerns, and supply chain inefficiencies. Every year, the trucking industry moves essential goods across the country, yet it faces persistent headwinds including a chronic driver shortage and thousands of accidents caused by human error. Stack AV builds AI-powered autonomous trucking solutions designed to enhance safety, reliability, and efficiency for modern freight operations. Founded in 2023 by the leadership team behind Argo AI - CEO Bryan Salesky, President Peter Rander, and CTO Brett Browning - Stack AV combines decades of experience in robotics, machine learning, and autonomous systems with over $1 billion in backing from SoftBank Group. The company's autonomous technology incorporates cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, and cloud computing to create a self-driving ecosystem tailored specifically to Class 8 trucking. With a culture grounded in safety, excellence, humility, grit, transparency, and passion, Stack AV is deploying solutions that not only improve business outcomes for customers but fundamentally transform how goods move across supply chains, making freight transportation safer and more efficient.

In 2022, former SpaceX engineers Karthik Gollapudi and Austin Spiegel realized something fundamental while working on Dragon, Falcon, Starlink, and Starship programs: the tools built for simpler machines were failing mission-critical hardware systems. Legacy dashboards, scripts, and spreadsheets couldn't keep up with the complexity of modern machines that generate terabytes of telemetry data. They watched engineers struggle to make sense of fragmented data streams, risking mission reliability and slowing innovation across aerospace, defense, and robotics. So they built Sift - a unified observability platform designed from the ground up for hardware sensor data. What started as a solution born from spaceflight challenges has evolved into the backbone of innovation for companies pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Sift transforms messy hardware telemetry into a structured, shareable, and trusted source for analysis, enabling automated data review, real-time anomaly detection, and engineering confidence across the entire hardware lifecycle. From spacecraft to autonomous vehicles, Sift empowers engineers to build faster, test smarter, and operate with precision - eliminating the need to juggle multiple tools or write code for basic insights. Today, the platform serves customers like K2 Space, Astranis, Astrolab, and JetZero, proving that when engineers have the right tools, there's no limit to what they can build.

Every enterprise faces the same integration nightmare: AI agents that can't take real action, SaaS platforms stuck in months of custom integration work, and security teams blocking every new connection. StackOne exists to end this bottleneck - providing a universal integration layer that empowers AI agents and B2B SaaS platforms to connect with 3,000+ enterprise systems through a single, secure API. Our platform eliminates the friction of building and maintaining integrations, letting developers focus on product innovation while we handle the complexity of real-time, privacy-centric data flow. Founded by engineers from Google, Oracle, JP Morgan, Coinbase, and Microsoft, StackOne delivers enterprise-grade security (SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA compliant) with zero data storage by default. Our Falcon execution engine powers production-ready autonomous agents with 200+ connectors and 25,000 pre-mapped actions. Backed by GV (Google Ventures) and Workday Ventures with $24M raised, we're building the infrastructure that lets AI agents do actual work across HR, CRM, ERP, LMS, and beyond - transforming the integration burden from a blocker into a competitive advantage.

Every month, finance teams at mid-market and enterprise companies lose countless hours to the financial close process - a tedious, manual cycle of reconciliations, journal entries, and variance analysis that pulls them away from strategic work. Stacks exists to transform this bottleneck into a streamlined, AI-powered workflow that closes the books in a fraction of the time. The company automates the most repetitive and error-prone accounting tasks, from transaction matching to journal entries, giving finance teams the ability to deliver accurate financial insights on day one of each month rather than day ten or fifteen. Backed by $23 million in Series A funding from Lightspeed Venture Partners, EQT Ventures, and General Catalyst, Stacks has built an AI-native platform that integrates seamlessly with existing ERP systems. The team combines expertise from top-tier companies like Uber, Plaid, Miro, and OpenAI, bringing together deep knowledge of both finance operations and cutting-edge AI technology. Stacks is reimagining the financial close not just as a faster process, but as a competitive advantage that enables finance teams to shift from manual data wrangling to high-impact strategic work that drives their businesses forward.
