About the role

About the Role

Join the Platform team at an early-stage AI and manufacturing supply chain company. You will build the backend services, data pipelines, and integrations that support AI-powered agents and reliable movement of goods through complex manufacturing workflows.

What You'll Do

  • Design and scale backend services using Next.js API routes, background jobs, and serverless functions for high-throughput order processing.
  • Build and productionize LLM-based agents, AI/ML infrastructure, and RAG patterns for quote analysis and supplier recommendations.
  • Design PostgreSQL schemas, migrations, and complex queries for materials, quotes, orders, and supplier relationships.
  • Build event-driven pipelines for order state management, notifications, and synchronization across systems.
  • Implement caching, rate limiting, and reliability patterns for external API integrations.
  • Establish monitoring, alerting, and observability practices, and own backend incident response.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 5 years of production experience building backend services, data pipelines, or platform infrastructure.
  • Recent hands-on experience with web and AI product development, including Next.js, TypeScript, and agentic frameworks.
  • Experience building NLP or ML pipelines to extract information from unstructured documents, including OCR.
  • Strong experience with transactional guarantees, ACID semantics, exactly-once processing, and idempotent APIs.
  • Experience scaling PostgreSQL or other relational databases, and building event-driven systems or reliable data pipelines.
  • Experience integrating ERP systems and third-party APIs, including legacy or poorly documented interfaces.
  • Background in manufacturing supply chain, procurement, or logistics, with strong computer science fundamentals.

Compensation & Benefits

Annual salary range: $160,000 to $250,000 USD. Visa sponsorship is available.

Location
