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.
