## About the Role

* 10+ years of software engineering experience; you've built with LLMs extensively - whether in production, side projects, or just because you couldn't stop yourself
 * Strong product instincts: you can identify what's worth building, not just execute on a spec
 * LLM fluency: agent patterns, RAG, prompt engineering, tool use, evaluation. You know what works in production and what looks good in demos
 * Full-stack capability in TypeScript and Next.js-you can own a feature end to end
 * An entrepreneurial drive: you thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and don't wait to be told what to do
 * Excellent communication: you can work across teams and disciplines to get alignment and unblock yourself
 * An audacious appetite for impact: you're not here to maintain-you're here to change how global trade works

Nice to Have

 * Experience with workflow orchestration (Temporal, etc.)
 * Experience building internal tools or operator-facing applications

## Description

You'll build the cutting-edge agents and AI-powered applications that make Flexport's operations smarter, faster, and increasingly autonomous. That means:

 * Designing and shipping end-to-end AI agents that handle real logistics work-customs compliance, document processing, exception management, and more
 * Crossing organizational boundaries to understand problems deeply, align stakeholders, and get things done without waiting for permission
 * Moving fast from idea to production, treating every deployment as a learning opportunity
 * Working directly with operators, domain experts, and leadership to turn ambiguous problems into shipped solutions, * We come to the office 3 times a week to hang out, whiteboard, and ship together
 * We have the latest hardware and software-including frontier AI models on day one
 * We're agile, but not dogmatic. Teams decide how they work best
 * Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Postgres, Snowflake. For AI: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google AI APIs

Why This Role Is Special

 * Your work is visible: This is a small, senior team reporting directly to the VP of Engineering. What you build gets noticed, and your ideas shape the direction
 * Real stakes: thousands of containers, 112 countries, $19 billion of goods. Your agents will have immediate, measurable impact
 * Full ownership: from problem definition to production deployment, it's yours
 * You're early: the playbook for applied AI in enterprise logistics doesn't exist yet-you'll help write it
