Job Description

On behalf of our client New York, NY, hybrid Full-time

The build:Our client is hiring a founding engineer to build the core platform that powers AI agents in supply chain operations. You'll own the data pipelines, integrations, APIs, and operator console that connect AI to real-world systems — ERPs, 3PLs, retailers, and freight partners. This is infrastructure work with direct impact: the scaffolding you build determines whether customers can trust their AI to handle shipments, inventory, and operations reliably.

What you'll do

• Take customer-facing features from concept to production — talk to users, design, build, and observe real usage.
  
• Design secure, auditable data models and event-driven pipelines that power agent workflows.
  
• Develop internal and external APIs and a real-time operator console giving customers full visibility into operations.
  
• Build first-party integrations with ERPs, 3PLs, retailers, and freight partners, plus a resilient sync layer that keeps everything in lockstep.
  
• Establish observability, SLOs, and on-call practices for mission-critical workflows where downtime means missed shipments and chargebacks.
  
• Work across the full stack — backend, data engineering, frontend — wherever the highest-leverage problem lives.
  

Requirements

What we're looking for

• 5+ years building production platforms or infrastructure at scale, ideally at startups.
  
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript/Node, Postgres, queues/streams, and cloud (AWS or GCP).
  
• Systems thinking + product intuition; you care equally about developer and operator experience.
  
• Versatility across backend, data engineering, and frontend — you don't wait for someone else to build the other half.
  
• Genuine interest in hard infrastructure problems with direct, measurable business impact.
