AI Software Engineer – Freight Forwarding Platform (Equity)

Nexcade AI; Greater London; On-site; GBP 70,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Nexcade AI in London is building an AI-powered platform for freight forwarding and expanding its product surface. You will work across the stack in Python, TypeScript and React, collaborating directly with customers and founders on what gets built.

Everyone here works across the stack, but each engineer has a spike: the area where they set the bar for the team. You spend most of your time where yours is, leaning on colleagues for the rest.

Qualifications

• A spike, with evidence. Something you have been exceptional at and proof of it.
• Strong fundamentals. In the AI-assisted era, having good technical judgement is key.
• High agency and ownership. You take an ambiguous problem, make a call, and see it through.
• Humility and learning velocity. You want to get better and you change your mind when the evidence says so.
• Interest in the problem. You do not need a freight background, but you find messy real-world operations interesting.

Responsibilities

• Product: You build best in class products for the core jobs in freight forwarding, one job at a time. You work as a design partner with our customers to understand the work deeply, turn that understanding into a product they would choose over anything else, and feed what you learn back into the platform everyone builds on.
• AI: You raise the ceiling on what our AI can do and the floor on how reliably it does it. That spans high volume tasks like classification and extraction and deep workflow tasks that run for hours. You design for performance, reliability, explainability and control, set up the gyms and evals to measure them, and build the harness that runs our agents in all of our products.
• Platform: You own the foundation every product stands on: the runtime for thousands of concurrent agents and workflows, the way they communicate and scale, the controls for how they access data with permissions that hold, and the observability to see and measure all of it. You ensure the rest of the team can move fast without fear.
