AI Forward Deployed Engineer (Supply Chain AI Startup)

A quickly scaling AI company that automates purchasing and supply chain operations is hiring an engineer to bridge the product team and enterprise customers. The goal is to understand how customers buy and manage goods, then build the backend systems that let AI agents run those workflows in production.

Responsibilities

• Study how customers buy and run operations, ERP processes included, from end to end and convert that knowledge into solutions that scale technically
• Connect the product to enterprise software such as NetSuite, SAP and Microsoft Business Central through API work and data pipelines
• Develop backend services and automations tailored to individual customers in Python and Django
• Team up with colleagues in the product and engineering groups to spot recurring patterns that strengthen the core platform
• Contribute to early customer conversations, rollout planning and now and then an on-site workshop, roughly once or twice a month

What you bring

• Three to six years working as a software engineer, with deep backend strength
• Python or Django skills, or comparable backend technology (TypeScript or Rust also fit)
• Practical experience wiring up third-party APIs, enterprise applications or data pipelines
• Experience converting business needs voiced by clients or partner teams into technical designs
• Strong systems thinking, with the confidence to challenge assumptions in ambiguous situations
• Daily use of AI coding tools; having built agents or shipped AI features is a plus
• Background at a well-regarded tech company or high-growth startup
