AI Solutions Engineer

The short version

We're a fast-growing 3PL that ships for e-commerce brands people love — and we're rebuilding our data and tooling backbone from the ground up. We're hiring an engineer to help build it: someone who can design a data model, wire up an API, ship a tool, and stand behind how it works.

If your favorite thing in the world is looking at a slow, manual, duct-taped process and thinking "I could build something better by Friday" — keep reading.

Who we are

Good Company does good work for good people. We're a Springfield, Missouri third-party logistics company that our e-commerce clients treat as an extension of their own brand. We just moved into a new facility, our volume roughly doubles every year, and our leadership team has made a real bet: that great tooling and AI, in the hands of people who care, is how a 3PL wins the next five years.

That bet is this role.

What you'll actually do

You’ll join a small Information team in the middle of its most exciting chapter — replacing spreadsheets, legacy BI, and vendor workarounds with a modern platform we own:

• Build internal tools people use the next day — dashboards, ops tools, and client-facing reporting on our stack (TypeScript, Next.js, Supabase/Postgres, BigQuery, Vercel).
• Connect systems that don't talk to each other — our WMS, billing, accounting, carrier, and Slack ecosystems all have APIs; you'll make them one system instead of ten.
• Solve problems worth real dollars — automated reporting, billing-error detection, shipping-anomaly monitoring. The problems here aren't hypothetical; catching them is worth six figures a year.
• Turn hours into software — every recurring manual process in the business is a candidate for automation, and you'll have the mandate to go after them.
• Own things end to end — you scope it, build it, ship it, and stand behind it. No ticket queue, no committee.

Who you are

We hire for traits first, résumé second:

• A problem-solver who happens to use technology — you're drawn to the itch of an unsolved problem more than to any particular tool.
• Strong on fundamentals — you understand what's happening under the tools you use: how the data is modeled, what the API actually returns, why the query is slow, what breaks when the request fails.
• Fluent with AI, and accountable for it — you use AI to build and think faster, but you can read, debug, and explain every line it produces. If you can't say how it works, you don't ship it.
• A finisher — you ship. You'd rather deliver something real this week than something perfect never.
• Curious — you want to know why the number is wrong, not just that it is. (Ask us about our core values — curiosity is one of them, and we mean it.)
• An owner — when something you built breaks, you're the first to know and the first to fix it.
• A translator — you can sit with an account manager or a CFO, understand what they actually need, and come back with something better than what they asked for.

Nice to have (not required)

• SQL and database design (Postgres, BigQuery, or similar)
• API integration experience — REST, webhooks, OAuth, the fun parts and the cursed parts
• TypeScript, Python, or both
• Experience in logistics, e-commerce, or another operations-heavy business

What you get

• [$50k–$80k] salary + [benefits summary — health, PTO, 401k, etc.]
• A greenfield platform build with direct, visible P&L impact
• No layers, no six-week sprint ceremonies — you'll talk to the people who use what you build, often the same day you build it
• Leadership that has already bought into modern tooling — you're not here to convince anyone it matters
• A small team where your work is the difference, and everyone knows it

The Good Company is an equal opportunity employer.
