Description:

A fast-moving AI startup in the logistics space is hiring a Senior Software Engineer (AI Agents) to build the core systems behind an intelligent automation platform used in highly complex, operations-heavy industries. You'll design and ship production-grade LLM systems, contribute across the stack, and play a key role in evolving both the product and technical architecture.

This is a high-ownership, high-impact role where you'll collaborate closely with the founding team, contribute to major architectural decisions, and build technology that solves real-world operational problems at scale.

What You'll Do

  • Build and scale the core automation and AI agent systems that power the platform
  • Work across the stack: backend APIs, data pipelines, orchestration layers, and frontend workflows
  • Design and deploy agent-based LLM components for reasoning, extraction, and decision-making
  • Collaborate directly with users to understand workflows and ship high-impact solutions
  • Contribute to architecture discussions and help drive key technical decisions
  • Write clean, reliable, maintainable code with strong engineering fundamentals
  • Support roadmap execution and help elevate engineering standards as the team grows

Who You Are

  • A senior-level engineer with experience in high-growth or startup environments
  • Comfortable owning projects end-to-end with minimal oversight
  • Strong in 0→1 product development and able to operate in ambiguous problem spaces
  • Genuinely interested in applied AI and complex operational workflows
  • Pragmatic, execution-focused, and thoughtful about long-term system design

What We're Looking For

  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Experience designing and shipping production backend systems and APIs
  • Hands-on experience building or integrating LLM-powered or agent-based systems
  • Ability to design scalable services and data pipelines
  • Strong technical judgment and ability to make sound tradeoffs
  • Clear communicator who can collaborate cross-functionally and with customers

Bonus Points

  • Experience with retrieval pipelines, orchestration frameworks, or structured data extraction
  • Background in logistics, operations, or other data-intensive domains
  • Prior experience at an early-stage startup

Why You'll Love This Role

  • Meaningful equity and ownership at a high-growth startup
  • Opportunity to help shape the core architecture of a category-defining AI platform
  • Direct collaboration with founders on product and technical strategy
  • High-trust environment with real autonomy
  • The chance to modernize a critical global industry with automation and intelligent systems
