Role Summary
We are looking for aAI (Fullstack) Engineer to help evolve IFS.ai Logistics into anagent‑first, AI‑native product.
This isnot a traditional “add AI to an existing system” role.
You will design and buildLLM‑powered agents,simulation‑driven workflows, andAI‑native product capabilities that sit at the core of our logistics optimization platform.
You will work acrossfrontend, backend, data, and infrastructure, owning problems end‑to‑end and shapinghow we build software — not justwhat we build.
Â
What You’ll Work On
AI‑Native & Agent‑First Development
- Design and buildLLM‑driven agents to support planning, optimization, and decision‑making workflows
- Developagent orchestration patterns (tools, memory, evaluation, guardrails)
- Build and maintainRAG pipelines, structured prompting, and retrieval strategies
- Treatsimulation as a first‑class design tool (using synthetic data, scenario replay, and state machines to validate logic)
Fullstack Product Engineering
- Buildend‑to‑end product features spanning:
- Backend services (Python / TypeScript)
- APIs (REST / GraphQL / FastAPI)
- Frontend experiences (React)
- Createhuman‑in‑the‑loop interfaces for AI systems (review, override, explainability)
- Collaborate closely with Product and Design to ship usable, explainable AI features
Platform & Engineering Quality
- Own services in production: performance, reliability, observability, and cost
- Design systems that aresecure, testable, and compliant by default
- Useinfrastructure‑as‑code and modern CI/CD practices
- Championsimulation‑led design, testability, and fast feedback loops
Â
Â
What Success Looks Like (6–12 Months)
- AI agents are shipping ascore product capabilities, not experiments
- Simulation and synthetic data are actively used to design and validate features
- Product teams can move faster because AI systems areobservable, testable, and trusted
- Engineering quality improves without slowing delivery
Â
Why IFS.ai Logistics
IFS.ai Logistics is building the next generation of logistics optimization software — combiningAI, simulation, and human expertise to reduce cost, emissions, and complexity in global supply chains.
You’ll work onhard problems, withreal‑world impact, alongside a team that valuesdesign‑led thinking, technical depth, and autonomy.
Â
What We’re Looking For
Core Experience
- Strong fullstack engineer withdeep backend capability
- Production experience withPython and/or TypeScript
- Experience owning systemsfrom concept to production
- Comfortable working insmall, high‑ownership teams
AI & Data (Practical, Not Theoretical)
- Hands‑on experience with:
- LLMs and modern AI tooling
- RAG systems, embeddings, vector search
- Agentic patterns (tools, planners, evaluators)
- Experience productionising ML/AI systems (monitoring, failure modes, iteration)
- Pragmatic mindset: understands where AI adds value — and where it doesn’t
Ways of Working
- Agent‑first,spec‑driven, or simulation‑led mindset
- Comfortable operating with ambiguity
- Strong collaborator with Product, Design, and other engineers
- Bias towardshipping, learning, and iterating
Nice to Have (But Not Required)
- Experience with logistics, optimization, or simulation‑heavy domains
- Background in data engineering or ML platforms
- Experience building developer tools or internal platforms
- Exposure to regulated or security‑conscious environments
Tech Stack
- Backend: Python (Django / FastAPI), TypeScript (Node.js)
- Frontend: React
- AI: LLMs, RAG pipelines, agent frameworks
- Infra: Cloud (AWS / GCP), Docker, CI/CD, IaC
- Data: SQL, event‑driven systems, analytics pipelines
