We're revolutionizing the $500B+ building materials and home improvement industry through AI-powered automation. We're building intelligent agent workflows that transform how businesses manage operations, optimize supply chains, and create resilient marketplaces. This is your chance to join at the ground floor and shape the future of an entire industry.

The Role

We're seeking a Senior AI Engineer who thrives on building production-ready AI agent systems from scratch. You'll architect and implement autonomous workflows that handle complex operational challenges in supply chain, inventory management, and demand forecasting. This is a hands-on role where you'll write code daily, ship features weekly, and see immediate impact on real business operations.

What You'll Build

• Autonomous AI Agents : Design and deploy multi-agent systems for supply chain optimization, automated procurement, and intelligent inventory management
• Production LLM Systems : Build robust, scalable applications using GPT-4, Claude, and open-source models with RAG, fine-tuning, and agent orchestration
• Real-time Decision Systems : Create AI workflows that make thousands of operational decisions daily - from demand forecasting to dynamic pricing to supplier selection
• End-to-End Ownership : Take features from ideation to production, including system architecture, implementation, deployment, and monitoring

Core Responsibilities

• Ship Fast, Ship Often : Deploy production code within your first week; own features from concept to customer
• Build Agent Orchestration : Develop multi-step reasoning systems using LangChain, AutoGPT patterns, and custom agent frameworks
• Scale AI Infrastructure : Optimize for sub-second response times while handling millions of daily transactions
• Pioneer Solutions : Solve novel problems in supply chain AI that haven't been tackled before
• Set Technical Direction : Make architectural decisions that will define our platform for years to come

Who You Are

Must-Haves

• 5+ years building ML/AI systems in production (not just research or POCs)
• Deep LLM expertise : You've built and deployed multiple LLM applications handling real traffic
• Startup DNA : Comfortable with ambiguity, rapid iteration, and wearing multiple hats
• Builder mentality : You'd rather ship an 80% solution today than a perfect one next month
• Technical excellence : Strong Python, experience with vector databases, and production ML ops

You'll Excel If You Have

• Experience with agent frameworks (LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI)
• Background in operations research, supply chain, or logistics
• Track record of 0-to-1 product building at early-stage startups
• Experience with real-time systems and event-driven architectures
• Contributions to open-source AI/ML projects
• AI/ML : OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, Pinecone/Weaviate, Hugging Face
• Monitoring : Datadog, Weights & Biases, custom observability tools

Why This Role Is Different

• Immediate Impact : Your code will affect millions in transactions within weeks
• Technical Ownership : No layers of management - you decide, you build, you ship
• Industry Transformation : Apply cutting-edge AI to a massive industry that's ripe for disruption
• Rapid Growth : Join as employee #(X) with significant equity upside
• World-class Team : Work directly with founders from (relevant backgrounds)
