Full Job Description
Overview:

We are hiring a Decision Engineering Team Lead for the Manufacturing & Supply Chain team. You'll lead a small team of Decision Engineers (AI Software Engineers) building AI-powered tools and decision systems that make manufacturing and supply chain workflows significantly more productive, while still shipping hands-on. You'll set technical direction, own the team's delivery bar, grow engineers, and partner with leadership to pick the highest-impact AI augmentation bets.

Responsibilities:
  • Lead a small team of Decision Engineers, setting technical direction and owning the bar for what ships
  • Still build hands-on: personally ship the highest-leverage AI tools and agents for manufacturing and supply chain workflows
  • Own the team's delivery: identify the highest-impact AI augmentation opportunities across manufacturing and supply chain workflows and turn them into shipped tools with measurable productivity gains
  • Design and maintain shared AI infrastructure including AGENTS.md and SKILLS.md, and shared skills the wider organization builds on
  • Grow the engineers on your team through review, direction, and hiring
  • Partner with team and functional leadership to translate their goals into an AI tooling roadmap
Requirements:
  • 7+ years of software engineering experience with 2+ years leading a team while still coding
  • Track record shipping production systems in supply chain, manufacturing, logistics, or automation domains
  • Production-grade code in Go, Python, and TypeScript, with strong full-stack skills building web applications (React, Next.js, or similar frameworks)
  • Hands-on experience building applications with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-weight models), creating and using MCP servers, and agentic frameworks
  • Deep understanding of AI coding agent tools including Claude Code and Cursor, and the agent frameworks around them
  • Technical depth to review architecture and unblock engineers, not just manage
  • Ownership mentality: you can define a roadmap and execute without heavy process support
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders
  • Nice to have: experience at a fast-scaling automation, robotics, or supply chain software company


Benefits:
  • Competitive total compensation package (cash + equity)
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Retirement plan
  • Generous PTO policy


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
