Vorto
About VORTO
Vorto is on a mission to improve America’s Supply Chain efficiency and sustainability. Vorto uses AI technology to reduce empty miles and idle time created in matching shippers and truckers. Additionally, it deploys an AI agentic platform to automate and remove inefficiencies from all players involved in Supply Chain. This reduces carbon emission from trucks, makes products more affordable for everyday American, and improves the lives and earnings of approximately 3.5 million truck drivers in America which is the largest entrepreneurial population.
We operate in a very fast-paced and nimble environment that is highly focused on a team-first, accomplishment-focused culture that is passionate about our mission’s success. Our products have been developed by a world-class engineering team that simplifies and solves complex business problems. We encourage you to visit our careers page and read this blog post to learn more about our culture.
Some Facts About Us:
1+ million shipments per year
Over $1 billion of freight under management
Cashflow positive since inception
About the Role We are looking for an
AI Engineer
who thrives in one of the most demanding environments in technology: legacy supply chains, enterprise customers, startup speed, and chaotic real-world operations. At Vorto, AI Engineers are builder-owners who transform ambiguous, messy operational problems into intelligent, automated systems that materially change how physical goods move across America.
You will work across the full AI stack — from model training and agent design to retrieval pipelines and high-performance inference — to architect solutions that automate decisions previously handled by entire teams. This role blends deep ML expertise with practical engineering: roughly 70% hands‑on software development and 30% advanced model development and integration.
Success requires 10× velocity, first‑principles thinking, strong fundamentals, and the grit to solve real‑world problems where data is imperfect, conditions change hourly, and the cost of failure is high. AI Engineers at Vorto own outcomes end‑to‑end, recover fast, and build systems that scale beyond themselves.
If you want to build AI that actually runs the real world — not demos, not prototypes, but production systems moving billions in freight — this is the role.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Fine‑tune large language models (LLMs) including LLaMA, Mistral, and Falcon on proprietary datasets to enhance performance in automation and customer support workflows.
Design and deploy AI agents capable of task execution and decision‑making, leveraging retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) to improve accuracy and relevance.
Integrate embedding databases (ChromaDB, FAISS) and graph‑based retrieval (G‑RAG) using Neo4j to boost knowledge retrieval efficiency and contextual understanding.
Optimize and deploy models using vLLM, TensorRT, and DeepSpeed for low‑latency, scalable inference on Google Cloud and Kubernetes‑based infrastructure.
Solve complex problems using mechanistic and statistical approaches.
Develop predictive models for commodity demand, supply forecasting, ETA predictions, and delay detection.
Optimize logistics simulations and market algorithms to improve operational efficiency.
Other duties as assigned.
Requirements
Experience with ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Keras.
Solid background in algorithms, optimization, neural networks, and reinforcement learning.
Proven track record of independently delivering complex engineering and ML projects.
Familiarity with path and function optimization methods including linear programming and simulation‑based search techniques.
Advanced degree (MS/PhD preferred) in a quantitative field such as Computer Science, Applied Math, or Engineering.
Benefits At VORTO we are committed to developing our employees and providing them exciting opportunities to grow and prosper in their careers.
We offer a competitive benefits package as well as numerous additional perks, including:
Competitive compensation package
Paid Time Off and Holidays
Health, Dental and Vision Insurance
401(k) retirement plan with company match
Flex and Health Savings Plans
Company‑paid life and short‑term disability insurance
Company‑paid parking or RTD pass
Voluntary income protection benefits including Life, AD&D, Critical Illness, Hospital Indemnity, and Accident Protection Insurance
Tuition Assistance
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Free or discounted legal program
We supply the industry's best hardware and productivity software
VORTO is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
This position will be posted until a qualified candidate is hired.
