About The Position
Xometry (NASDAQ: XMTR) powers the industries of today and tomorrow by connecting the people with big ideas to the manufacturers who can bring them to life.

You will be the architect of Xometry’s future carrier network, ensuring we provide end-to-end visibility for every shipment—from a local machine shop to an international enterprise customer. Your mission is simple but challenging: make our logistics faster, more reliable, and more cost-effective than ever before.
