Software Engineer

• 2+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping 0 to 1 products, ideally in AI, agents, LLM applications, or enterprise SaaS
• Strong full-stack skills across TypeScript, React, Python, and modern backend frameworks (Next.js, FastAPI, Postgres, or similar)
• Working knowledge of modern AI/ML systems, including LLM orchestration, RAG, agents, evals, and vector databases (pgvector, Pinecone, or similar)
• Experience translating messy customer workflows into clean abstractions and shipped software
• Comfort owning systems end-to-end across frontend, backend, and infra, and making sharp tradeoff calls without a heavy process
• Willingness and excitement to travel to customer sites regularly
• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to write tight technical specs and explain tradeoffs to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
• Bias toward shipping, owning outcomes end-to-end, and iterating with customers in the loop
• Prior exposure to procurement, supply chain, ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle), or manufacturing workflows is a strong plus

Company Description TradeForm is the world's fastest-growing AI-native hardware procurement platform, built to run sourcing, supplier coordination, and end-to-end buying for companies building the physical world. In just four months, we've raised a substantial round from several of the world's largest funds and gone live with a growing roster of 10+ enterprise customers across hardware, robotics, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing. Role Description This is a full-time, on-site Software Engineer role in San Francisco. You'll work directly with the founding team as an early engineering hire, building the 0-to-1 product that powers procurement for the world's most advanced hardware companies. You'll operate as a hybrid of full-stack software engineer and forward deployed engineer, embedding directly with our largest customers: traveling to their facilities, sitting with their procurement and supply chain teams, and turning what you learn on the ground into shipped code the same week. You'll own systems end-to-end across frontend, backend, AI/ML infrastructure, and ERP integrations, and help shape how we build as we scale. Early equity, deep ownership, and a front-row seat to how the world's most advanced supply chains actually run.
