Staff Software Engineer: Applied AI

10+ years of software engineering experience; you've built with LLMs extensively — whether in production, side projects, or just because you couldn't stop yourself

Strong product instincts: you can identify what's worth building, not just execute on a spec

LLM fluency: agent patterns, RAG, prompt engineering, tool use, evaluation. You know what works in production and what looks good in demos

Full-stack capability in TypeScript and Next.js—you can own a feature end to end

An entrepreneurial drive: you thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and don't wait to be told what to do

Excellent communication: you can work across teams and disciplines to get alignment and unblock yourself

An audacious appetite for impact: you're not here to maintain—you're here to change how global trade works

Experience with workflow orchestration (Temporal, etc.)

Experience building internal tools or operator-facing applications

We come to the office 3 times a week to hang out, whiteboard, and ship together

We have the latest hardware and software—including frontier AI models on day one

We're agile, but not dogmatic. Teams decide how they work best

Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Postgres, Snowflake. For AI: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google AI APIs

Your work is visible: This is a small, senior team reporting directly to the VP of Engineering. What you build gets noticed, and your ideas shape the direction

Real stakes: thousands of containers, 112 countries, $19 billion of goods. Your agents will have immediate, measurable impact

Full ownership: from problem definition to production deployment, it's yours

You're early: the playbook for applied AI in enterprise logistics doesn't exist yet—you'll help write it
