About the Role
Join the platform team at an early-stage AI manufacturing supply chain startup. You will build backend services, data pipelines, and AI-powered systems that support procurement and supply chain operations, helping ensure goods move reliably through complex manufacturing workflows.
What You'll Do
-
Design and scale backend services with 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 synchronization across systems.
-
Implement caching, rate limiting, and reliability strategies for external API integrations.
-
Establish monitoring, alerting, and observability practices, and participate in backend incident response.
What We're Looking For
-
At least 5 years of production experience building backend services, data pipelines, or platform infrastructure.
-
Hands-on experience with AI development, including NLP/ML pipelines for extracting information from unstructured documents using OCR or similar techniques.
-
Recent hands-on experience with Next.js, TypeScript, agentic frameworks, and PostgreSQL or a comparable relational database.
-
Experience designing transactional systems with ACID guarantees, idempotent APIs, and reliable event-driven processing.
-
Experience integrating with ERP systems and third-party APIs, including legacy or poorly documented interfaces.
-
Background in manufacturing supply chain, procurement, or logistics, and experience working on a startup or similarly small team.
-
Strong computer science fundamentals and experience with production monitoring, incident response, caching, and rate limiting.
