Job Description

About the Role

Join the platform team at an early-stage AI and manufacturing supply chain company. You will build the backend services, data pipelines, and integrations that coordinate AI-powered agents and transactions across manufacturing workflows, helping ensure physical goods move reliably through complex operations.

What You'll Do

  • Design and scale backend services using Next.js API routes, background jobs, and serverless functions for high-throughput order processing.

  • Build and productionize LLM-based agents, AI/ML infrastructure, and RAG patterns for quote analysis and supplier recommendations.

  • Design PostgreSQL schemas, migrations, and complex queries for materials, quotes, orders, and supplier relationships.

  • Build event-driven pipelines for order state management, notifications, and cross-system synchronization.

  • Implement caching, rate limiting, and reliability strategies for external API calls.

  • Establish monitoring, alerting, and observability practices, and own backend incident response.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 5 years of production experience building backend services, data pipelines, or platform infrastructure.

  • Professional TypeScript experience, with recent hands-on work using Next.js and direct web development experience.

  • Experience designing transactional systems with ACID guarantees, exactly-once processing, and idempotent APIs.

  • Hands-on AI development or AI DevOps experience, including NLP or ML pipelines for extracting information from unstructured documents, such as OCR workflows.

  • Experience building or productionizing LLM-based agents, working with agentic frameworks, or implementing RAG patterns.

  • Strong PostgreSQL and relational database skills, plus experience with event-driven systems, queues, or reliable data pipelines.

  • Experience integrating ERP systems and third-party APIs, including legacy or poorly documented interfaces.

  • Experience with monitoring, alerting, observability, and incident response for backend systems.

  • Professional experience in manufacturing supply chain, procurement, or logistics, ideally in a startup or small company.
