We’re backed by some of the world’s best venture funds and leading figures across AI, supply chain, and enterprise software. About the role We're hiring an AI Applied Engineer to sit at the intersection of machine learning, agentic systems, and production software. You'll own the design and development of AI-powered workflows that automate high-stakes supply chain operations — building systems that actually think, act, and learn What You’ll Do Design and ship production AI agents that automate supplier management workflows Own the full AI stack: model selection, prompt engineering, tool use, RAG pipelines, evals, and reliability. Architect agentic systems that integrate with communication platforms, ERPs, and third-party APIs. Drive quality through rapid iteration, build fast without shipping fragile systems. Collaborate with product and domain experts to translate messy real-world workflows into clean, scalable AI solutions. Shape how we approach applied AI at the company level, your opinions on architecture and methodology will matter. You’ll be successful in this role if you… Have hands-on experience building and deploying LLM-based applications or AI agents in production.
