Company Description

A fast-growing venture-backed startup is building AI-powered workflow systems for critical, often-overlooked industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and construction. Their flagship platform transforms messy enterprise data into actionable insights by connecting it with best-in-class models—delivering measurable impact on factory floors, in dispatch rooms, and even across global shipping fleets.

The company is already working with Fortune 500s and $100M–$1.5B revenue organizations and has secured fresh seed funding to accelerate growth. With a senior, high-ownership team and a strong runway, this is a rare opportunity to join early and help shape how AI transforms real-world industries.

What You Will Do

• Work directly with enterprise customers, embedding on-site (up to ~20% travel) to map business challenges into AI-driven solutions.

• Build and iterate end-to-end workflows using Go, TypeScript, and React.

• Stand up integrations across large-scale enterprise systems (SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, etc.).

• Run tight feedback loops with operators and executives to drive adoption and measurable ROI.

• Take full ownership of projects, from scoping to rollout, ensuring solutions deliver lasting impact.

Ideal Candidate Background

• 2–5 years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in a full-stack or forward-deployed role.

• Strong customer-facing experience in either Big Tech or a fast-growing startup (Seed–Series B).

• Hands-on expertise with distributed systems and implementing AI solutions in production environments.

• Background as a founder or early startup engineer is highly valued (regardless of outcome).

• Degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.

Preferred

• Proficiency in Go, TypeScript, and React.

• Familiarity with enterprise software environments (e.g., SAP, Concur, Oracle, Salesforce).

• Demonstrated passion for AI and experience implementing AI-powered solutions for real-world customers.

• High comfort level with ownership in small, fast-moving teams.

• Ability to quickly understand and translate customer problems into technical solutions.

Compensation, Benefits, and Other Details

• Base Salary: $175,000 – $200,000

• Equity: Competitive early-stage equity package

• Travel: Up to ~20% travel to customer sites

• Office: Based in a centrally located New York City office (SoHo)

• Team: Work alongside a small, senior team where your contributions have immediate visibility and impact

• Growth: Opportunity to shape core products at the intersection of AI and real-world operations

This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in high-ownership environments and want to see the direct impact of their work on industries that move the global economy.
