Description

The company is building an AI operating system for the industrial supply chain, connecting warehouses, manufacturers, logistics providers, and the workers who keep physical goods moving.

It began by solving labor for industrial businesses with dependable temporary workforces and became the fastest growing staffing company in America.

It now offers a growing set of AI agents that help logistics providers, manufacturers, and 3PLs automate manual workflows, mine their data for insights, and sharpen decisions.

The company is venture-backed.

You will build the product on top of AI agents, putting frontier models and existing agents to work across the staffing marketplace to automate sourcing, vetting, matching, and placing workers on millions of shifts. A separate AI Agents team builds the agent platform, and your job is to apply it wherever it adds the most leverage.

This is a product engineering role first. Priorities shift by quarter, so you might work on a vetting or matching agent, a payments flow, or platform work. You will work with the CTO on architecture and roadmap and help build the platform the rest of the company relies on.

Responsibilities

  • Apply existing agents and frontier models across the worker app, business app, ops platform, and marketplace to automate vetting, matching, and fulfillment.
  • Architect and build core systems, including real-time matching, autonomous vetting pipelines, distributed systems, and APIs.
  • Own product surfaces from start to finish, working closely with product and design.
  • Lead frontend and backend development and mentor other engineers.

Requirements

  • You are an applier rather than a researcher. You take frontier models and existing agents and wire them into real product, shipping reliable automation without needing to own the orchestration internals.
  • You accept that not every problem needs AI. You pick the highest-priority problem, whether or not a model is involved.
  • You learn quickly and move comfortably between API design, UX, and deployment infrastructure.
  • You have a track record of shipping scalable, performant applications, from frontend interfaces to backend distributed systems.
  • You have 5+ years of experience across frontend and backend work with TypeScript, React or React Native, and Node.js or Python.
  • You are strong with APIs, distributed systems, PostgreSQL, and messaging tools such as Kafka or RabbitMQ.
  • You have hands-on experience integrating LLMs or agents into live products, including prompting, tool wiring, and evals. You have shipped AI features even if you did not build the underlying platform.
  • You have shipped scalable products in fast-moving, ambiguous, early-stage environments.

Conditions

The compensation range for this role is $200,000 to $240,000, based on market analysis and other factors. Exceptions may be made for candidates whose qualifications differ significantly from the posted requirements.

Benefits

  • Startup equity
  • Competitive salary
  • 100% paid health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Dinner provided through a delivery service, a free membership to that service, and a stocked kitchen for New York employees
  • Commuter benefit
  • A fitness membership benefit
  • Additional perks: a primary care membership, a fitness program, a health savings account (HSA), a therapy app, health advocacy services, and telehealth
