* Build and productionize LLM-based agents, AI/ML infrastructure, and RAG patterns for quote analysis and supplier recommendations.
* Design PostgreSQL schemas, migrations, and complex queries for materials, quotes, orders, and supplier relationships.
* Build event-driven pipelines for order state management, notifications, and synchronization across systems.
* Implement caching, rate limiting, and reliability patterns for external API integrations.
* Establish monitoring, alerting, and observability practices, and own backend incident response.
What We're Looking For
* At least 5 years of production experience building backend services, data pipelines, or platform infrastructure.
* Recent hands-on experience with web and AI product development, including Next.js, TypeScript, and agentic frameworks.
* Experience building NLP or ML pipelines to extract information from unstructured documents, including OCR.
* Strong experience with transactional guarantees, ACID semantics, exactly-once processing, and idempotent APIs.
* Experience scaling PostgreSQL or other relational databases, and building event-driven systems or reliable data pipelines.
* Experience integrating ERP systems and third-party APIs, including legacy or poorly documented interfaces.
* Background in manufacturing supply chain, procurement, or logistics, with strong computer science fundamentals.
