About the RoleAs a
Senior/Staff Software Engineer (Platform), you'll build the core software layer that enables autonomous manufacturing operations. This is a high-ownership, central role: you'll design scalable backend services, intelligent data pipelines, and integrations with ERP and freight systems that move physical goods reliably. You'll also coordinate AI-powered agents and high-stakes transaction processing across complex manufacturing workflows.
Visa sponsorship is available for this role.
What You'll Do- Design and scale backend services: Architect Next.js API routes, background jobs, and serverless functions that handle high-throughput order processing.
- Build AI-powered agents: Develop and productionize LLM-based agents, AI/ML infrastructure, and RAG patterns for intelligent quote analysis and supplier recommendations.
- Own the data layer: Design Supabase/PostgreSQL schemas, migrations, and complex queries for materials, quotes, orders, and supplier relationships.
- Architect event-driven systems: Build reliable pipelines for order state management, notification triggers, and cross-system synchronization.
- Implement caching and rate limiting: Design strategies for external API calls to ensure reliability at scale.
- Drive platform reliability: Establish monitoring, alerting, and observability patterns; own incident response for backend systems.
What We're Looking ForRequired:- Experience working within the supply chain domain (manufacturing, procurement, sourcing, or logistics).
- Strong CS fundamentals - all educational backgrounds are welcome.
Strongly valued:- Experience designing reliable data processing with transactional guarantees: ACID semantics, exactly-once processing, and idempotent APIs.
- Experience with NLP/ML pipelines to extract data from unstructured documents and emails, including OCR and information extraction.
- Domain knowledge of manufacturing supply chain, procurement, and logistics workflows.
- Experience integrating with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle) and freight/carrier APIs, including legacy or poorly documented interfaces.
Tech stack: TypeScript, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, LLMs, vector databases, RAG architectures, CI/CD, containerization, AWS, RESTful patterns.
We're open to a range of experience levels - roughly 2-10+ years - and will calibrate seniority (Senior or Staff) based on your background.
Compensation & Benefits- Salary: $160,000 - $250,000 USD annually, depending on seniority and experience.
- Early-stage equity in a funded, high-growth company.
- Visa sponsorship available.
