About The Role
Join a seed-funded AI and supply chain automation startup serving US manufacturers. As a Senior/Staff Platform Engineer, you will build the software layer that powers autonomous manufacturing operations — designing scalable backend services, intelligent data pipelines, and deep integrations with ERP and freight systems that move physical goods reliably. This is a high-impact, foundational role at a small, fast-moving team.
What You'll Do
- Design and scale backend services: Architect Next.js API routes, background jobs, and serverless functions to handle high-throughput order processing.
- Build AI-powered agents: Develop and productionize LLM-based agents, AI/ML infrastructure, and RAG patterns for intelligent quote analysis and supplier recommendations.
- Own the data layer: Design Supabase/PostgreSQL schemas, migrations, and complex queries covering materials, quotes, orders, and supplier relationships.
- Architect event-driven systems: Build reliable pipelines for order state management, notification triggers, and cross-system synchronization.
- Implement caching and rate limiting: Design strategies for external API calls to ensure reliability at scale.
- Drive platform reliability: Establish monitoring, alerting, and observability patterns; own incident response for all backend systems.
