Job Description

About the Role

You'll build the software layer that enables autonomous manufacturing operations. This role involves designing scalable backend services, data pipelines, and integrations with ERP and freight systems to move physical goods reliably. You'll be central to coordinating AI-powered agents and high-stakes transaction processing across complex manufacturing workflows.

What You'll Do

Design and scale backend services, including Next.js API routes, background jobs, and serverless functions for high-throughput order processing.
Build AI-powered agents by developing and productionizing LLM-based agents, AI/ML infrastructure, and RAG patterns for intelligent quote analysis and supplier recommendations.
Own the data layer by designing PostgreSQL schemas, migrations, and complex queries for materials, quotes, orders, and supplier relationships.
Architect event-driven systems with reliable pipelines for order state management, notification triggers, and cross-system synchronization.
Implement caching and rate limiting to ensure reliable external API calls at scale.
Drive platform reliability by establishing monitoring, alerting, and observability patterns and owning incident response for backend systems.

What We're Looking For

Experience designing and implementing 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.
Strong computer science fundamentals; open to all educational backgrounds.
Experience integrating with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle) and freight/carrier APIs, including legacy or poorly documented interfaces.
Background in the supply chain domain.
