Why Tarifix
We're a small, focused team solving a real problem that costs mid-market companies millions every year: tariff exposure management. If you're energized by:
- Applied machine learning that solves domain-specific problems (not general AI hype)
- Building for professionals — CFOs, supply chain leaders, trade compliance teams
- High-impact work where every feature ships to customers who depend on it
- Global trade policy as an interesting technical and business challenge
...then Tarifix might be for you.
What We Value
Depth over breadth. We'd rather master HTS classification and tariff modeling than build 50 half-finished features.
Ship quality, ship fast. We're in private beta with real customers who need this to work. Production quality matters.
Clarity of communication. Complex domain, technical product — writing and thinking clearly is non-negotiable.
Open Roles
Founding Engineer (Full-Stack)
Build the core platform: product classification engine, scenario modeling, API integrations. You'll own large parts of the codebase and work directly with early customers. Strong in Python/TypeScript, comfortable with LLMs and data pipelines.
Machine Learning Engineer (NLP/Classification)
Improve HTS classification accuracy from 95% to 98%+. Work with CBP rulings data, product descriptions, and tariff schedule structure. Experience with transformer models, prompt engineering, and classification tasks preferred.
Trade Compliance Specialist (Part-Time Advisor)
Help validate HTS classifications, review edge cases, and advise on compliance workflows. Licensed customs broker or 5+ years in trade compliance preferred. 10-15 hours/week.
