Founding Engineer (AI Supply Chain Startup)

An early-stage, well-funded AI-native supply chain startup uses large language models to help businesses buy and sell inventory. It is hiring core builders who will take on large, ambiguous problems from architecture through customer conversations and shape both the technology and the culture.
