About the Role

You'll be a founding engineer at the company, building the core platform that powers AI agents in supply chain operations. You'll own the data pipelines, integrations, APIs, and operator console that connect AI to real-world systems, ERPs, 3PLs, retailers, and freight partners. This is infrastructure work with direct impact: the scaffolding you build determines whether customers can trust their AI to handle shipments, inventory, and operations reliably.

What You'll Do

• Take customer-facing features from concept to production, talking to users, designing solutions, building them, and observing real usage.

• Design secure, auditable data models and event-driven pipelines that power agent workflows.

• Develop internal and external APIs and a real-time operator console that gives customers full visibility into their operations.

• Build first-party integrations with ERPs, 3PLs, retailers, and freight partners, plus a resilient sync layer that keeps everything in lockstep.

• Establish observability, SLOs, and on-call practices for mission-critical workflows where downtime means missed shipments and chargebacks.

• Work across the full stack, backend, data engineering, and frontend, wherever the highest-leverage problem lives.

 What We're Looking For

• 5+ years building production platforms or infrastructure at scale, ideally at startups.

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript/Node, Postgres, queues/streams, and cloud platforms like AWS or GCP.

• Systems thinking paired with product intuition; you care equally about developer experience and operator experience.

• Versatility across backend, data engineering, and frontend, you don't wait for someone else to build the other half.

• Genuine interest in hard infrastructure problems that have direct, measurable impact on real businesses.
