Job Overview

As a foundational Senior Software Engineer in New York City, you will architect the AI-native operating system that powers the future of food distribution. This is a high-agency role where you will build and ship production-grade AI agents designed to automate complex operational workflows like purchasing, inventory management, and order intake. You will move beyond proto@types to develop sophisticated multi-step reasoning systems, tool-use frameworks, and memory architectures that can reason over messy, real-world ERP data. Working in a forward-deployed model, you will partner directly with customers to turn ambiguous manual processes into scalable AI-native workflows while ensuring the reliability of these systems through rigorous evaluation and monitoring loops. This position is designed for a technical leader with a clear trajectory toward becoming Head of Engineering. You will sit at the center of the core team, reviewing code and raising the bar for engineering standards and architectural integrity across the platform. We are looking for a senior engineer with raw intellectual horsepower who has successfully shipped LLM systems in production and possesses the managerial instincts to mentor others. You should thrive in a high-velocity, intellectually competitive environment where you own projects from initial concept to live execution.

Responsibilities
