Today, our platform actively manages billions of dollars of commercial contracts. Behind every physical trade and shipment lies an incredibly complex layer of manual operations, with critical data trapped in unstructured emails, PDFs, and legacy software. CommodityAI serves as a digital operator that continuously interprets trade data, reconciles physical movements, and flags operational risks in real time. We are a Y Combinator-backed company (W24) supported by top-tier investors, including Rebel Fund and the founders of YouTube and Reddit. We are currently scaling our engineering team in San Francisco to expand our platform's capabilities, handle rapidly growing transaction volumes, and deepen our intelligent automation workflows., As a Senior Software Engineer, you will own core technical pillars of our operating system, working directly with the founders to scale our infrastructure and AI capabilities: * Build Core Systems: Design, scale, and maintain the backend APIs and data pipelines that process billions of dollars in transaction value. * Deploy Production AI/LLM Workflows: Architect agentic systems, structured extraction pipelines, and evaluation frameworks that turn chaotic, real-world documents into deterministic data. * Full-Stack Execution: Work across our stack (React, TypeScript, Python, Go, Node) to deliver end-to-end features, from robust data orchestration to clean frontend user workflows. * Own Product Outcomes: Collaborate with customers and the founding team to understand complex logistical problems and translate them into reliable, production-ready software. ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Stop using Node.js like in 2020!
