About the Role

Join the engineering team at an early-stage AI company in the logistics sector. You will shape the product and technical direction through hands-on full-stack development, production AI experimentation, and ownership of critical systems.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain critical product features across the stack.

• Develop reliable tools that help logistics users work more efficiently.

• Evaluate, benchmark, and fine-tune AI capabilities for accuracy in real-world workflows.

• Experiment with models, frameworks, and agentic techniques, then ship and improve promising approaches using data and user feedback.

• Improve complex legacy code and build scalable infrastructure and automation for data and AI workloads.

• Collaborate closely with a small team as a hands-on, high-ownership contributor.

What We're Looking For

• Typically 2 to 3 years of professional experience, though relevant projects or other evidence of ability can also qualify.

• Strong full-stack engineering experience, including hands-on backend product development and work across cloud environments.

• Fluency in Python; familiarity with Go is a plus.

• Practical experience building or integrating AI/ML systems, including benchmarking, fine-tuning, and running LLM experiments in production.

• Evidence of building robust production systems, engineering for scale, and working with complex codebases.
