Staff Software Engineer, Autonomous Freight Systems

Responsibilities

• Design and ship end-to-end AI agents that handle pricing intelligence and booking compliance without human oversight.
• Create the tooling and secure AI infrastructure required to expose internal logistics data to LLMs safely.
• Navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of agent patterns, RAG, and prompt engineering to solve problems that don't have "Stack Overflow" answers yet.
• Build and launch products rapidly and incrementally: ship to production dozens of times per day.
• Mentor and uplevel engineers across the team, fostering a culture of technical excellence.
• Partner with the Engineering Manager to define the team's technical roadmap and hiring bar.

Requirements

• LLM Fluency: Experience with agent patterns, RAG, and prompt engineering. Know what works in production versus what only looks good in a demo.
• Agentic Orchestration: Experience with workflow orchestration (e.g., Temporal) and building reliable systems around non-deterministic AI.
• Entrepreneurial Drive: Don't wait for a spec; find the highest-leverage automation problems and design the AI-driven solution.
• Product Instincts: Identify what is worth building, not just execute on a spec. Proven track record of building data-heavy applications where high-quality user interaction is the priority.
• Architecture Leadership: Demonstrated experience leading technical initiatives across multiple teams or systems, specifically in building unified interfaces that aggregate data from various backend systems.
• Technical Rigor: Love of simple, well-tested code that is easy to extend and hard to break, combined with experience building large-scale distributed systems.
• Technical Communication: Ability to convey technical ideas in common terms to business partners, product managers, and engineers alike.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with elements of our tech stack: Java, Spring Boot, Ruby on Rails, React, AWS.
• Experience in logistics, supply chain, or freight technology.
• Experience building internal tools or operator-facing applications.
• A bias for action: When you see a problem, you solve it.
