The Opportunity

About Outgo

We're a fast-growing product tackling a massive opportunity: the $800B US freight market. This industry comprises 1.6 million carriers, with 95% being small businesses operating 10 or fewer trucks. These hard working business owners often face tight margins while being forced to rely on predatory financial products laden with exorbitant rates, hidden fees, and restrictive contracts.

Our platform operates with radical transparency and fairness, optimizing cash flow to help truckers save more and grow their businesses.

About The Team

The Outgo engineering team is at the heart of revolutionizing financial services for truckers. We build robust, fault-tolerant systems that make real-time decisions and manage money flows with bank-grade reliability. Our technology transforms the accounts receivable process through intelligent automation and visualization, multiplying our operations team's effectiveness. For our customers, we craft intuitive, trustworthy applications that set a new standard for financial services.

Our modern data stack is built on Snowflake and DBT and powered by AWS infrastructure. We leverage cutting-edge tools including Pulumi, Postgres, and Claude Sonnet to deliver exceptional results.
