Title of Role: Software Engineer – Agent Delivery (Founding Team)

Location: San Francisco, CA or New York, NY

Company Stage of Funding: Series B (Venture-backed)

Office Type: Onsite – 5 days per week

Salary: $160,000 – $240,000 base salary competitive equity


Company Description

Our client is a fast-growing, venture-backed AI company building next-generation automation products for the logistics and supply chain industry. Backed by top-tier investors and trusted by large enterprise customers, the company is developing AI-powered agents that automate complex, high-volume operational workflows inside real-world systems.

This is an opportunity to join a high-caliber founding team working at the intersection of AI, software engineering, and real customer impact—solving meaningful problems in a massive, global industry.


What You Will Do

  • Act as a hands-on software engineer responsible for delivering production-grade AI systems for enterprise customers

  • Own customer deployments end to end, from initial scoping and system design through live production rollout

  • Build and maintain integrations with external systems, APIs, and internal tools—often working with limited documentation

  • Partner closely with internal operations, product, and engineering teams to ensure reliable, scalable deployments

  • Debug and improve live production systems by diagnosing issues across integrations, data flows, and AI behavior

  • Use insights from real customer usage to influence product improvements, platform capabilities, and tooling

  • Remain actively involved post-launch to enhance performance, reliability, and functionality over time

This is a highly ownership-driven role with exposure to real-world constraints, customer environments, and production systems at scale.


Ideal Candidate Background

  • 1–4 years of experience in software engineering roles with direct exposure to customers or external stakeholders

  • Experience building, deploying, and operating end-to-end production systems

  • Strong fundamentals in backend engineering, including APIs, authentication, data modeling, and system integrations

  • Comfortable working in ambiguous environments and taking ownership of outcomes

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

  • Experience in high-growth SaaS, AI-driven products, or early-stage startups is a strong plus


Preferred

  • Experience working with modern JavaScript/TypeScript backend stacks

  • Familiarity with event-driven systems, message queues, or workflow automation

  • Exposure to cloud environments (GCP, AWS, or similar) and production monitoring tools

  • Interest in applied AI systems and working closely with real customer data and workflows

  • Willingness to travel occasionally (up to ~25%) for customer engagements


Compensation, Benefits, and Other Details

  • Base salary range: $160,000 – $240,000, depending on experience

  • Competitive equity package

  • Full-time, permanent role

  • Work onsite in either San Francisco or New York

  • Opportunity to join early and make a foundational impact on product, customers, and company direction

  • Collaborative environment with experienced engineers, operators, and leaders from top technology companies
