Principle Accountabilities

• Own AI solutions end to end. Business problem, build, deployment, adoption, measured result.
• Own the enterprise strategy for what you build. Understand how a solution integrates into the wider technology landscape, what already exists, and what the organization is building next, so your work compounds rather than fragments.
• Own the ROI case. Define the metric before you start, baseline it, prove the return after, and kill things that do not earn their place.
• Prioritize against business need. Understand where the value actually is and be able to defend why this build over that one.
• Work directly with the business. Floor teams, operations, finance, support. The best builds come from people who understand how the work actually gets done.
• Build enterprise-first. Architecture, security, RBAC, and design standards belong in the prototype, not retrofitted at handoff.
• Ship from day one. We are not looking for a ramp. You should be building in your first week.
• Hold a view on where the industry is heading, in AI and in logistics, and stay at the forefront of tools, methods, and vendors.

Position Requirements

Technical Capability

• Production experience building with LLMs, agents, and retrieval systems. Not using AI tools, building with them.
• Practical experience with agent loops and graph-based workflows, plus the judgment to know when a deterministic approach is the better answer.
• You write enterprise-grade code using AI and have a process for doing it well. You know where AI-generated work fails validation and testing, and you have a method for catching it rather than trusting output.
• Technical foundation in computer science or equivalent, strong enough to judge whether a design is sound rather than just whether it runs.
• Genuine understanding of security in an AI context: data handling, access boundaries, what not to expose. Security at ITS is paramount and this is a first-class part of the role.
• Familiarity with running open-weight models for in-house inference and the tradeoffs against hosted APIs is a plus.

Enterprise Judgment and Industry

• Demonstrated enterprise thinking. You have built or owned something that had to integrate with existing systems, not stand alone.
• Ability to define and measure ROI in dollars, hours, or service impact, and to make prioritization calls you can defend.
• Strongly preferred: experience in logistics, supply chain, or a comparable operational industry. Absent that, demonstrated ability to get deep on an unfamiliar domain fast, because you cannot build for a business you do not understand.

Craft and Drive

• Real design instinct. You care whether what you built is usable, and you actively build that craft.
• Self-starting and relentlessly curious. You find problems, learn unprompted, and bring ideas forward without being asked.
• Urgency. This role is measured in shipped solutions with documented value, not in effort.

Other

• Reno, NV. Full-time, on-site. Lake Tahoe at your doorstep, close proximity to the Bay Area, and no state income tax.
• The mindset we hire for: honest, adaptable, committed, with the sense of urgency to build and ship in a fast-moving, industry-leading environment.
