Senior/Staff Software Engineer — Platform

This is a remote position.

Senior/Staff Software Engineer — Platform

On behalf of our client · Remote (US) · Full-time · Salaried

The build: Our client is building the software backbone that powers autonomous manufacturing operations. As a Senior/Staff engineer on the Platform team, you'll design scalable backend services, data pipelines, and integrations that coordinate AI-powered agents and high-stakes transactions across complex supply chain workflows. This role is critical to reliably moving physical goods through manufacturing systems — where a broken pipeline means stalled production lines.

What you'll do

• Design and scale backend services using Next.js API routes, background jobs, and serverless functions to handle high-throughput order processing.
  
• Build and productionize LLM-based agents, AI/ML infrastructure, and RAG patterns for intelligent quote analysis and supplier recommendations.
  
• Own the data layer — PostgreSQL schemas, migrations, and complex queries for materials, quotes, orders, and supplier relationships.
  
• Architect event-driven systems with reliable pipelines for order state management, notification triggers, and cross-system synchronization.
  
• Implement caching and rate limiting strategies to keep external API calls reliable at scale.
  

• Establish monitoring, alerting, and observability patterns while owning incident response for backend systems.

What we're looking for

• Experience designing reliable data processing with transactional guarantees (ACID semantics, exactly-once processing) and idempotent APIs.
  
• Background with NLP/ML pipelines extracting data from unstructured supplier documents and emails, including OCR and information extraction.
  
• Domain knowledge of manufacturing supply chain, procurement, and logistics workflows.
  
• Strong computer science fundamentals.
  

• Experience integrating with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle) and freight/carrier APIs, including legacy or poorly documented interfaces.
