Responsibilities

  • AI‑Native & Agent‑First Development
  • Design and build LLM‑driven agents to support planning, optimization, and decision‑making workflows
  • Develop agent orchestration patterns (tools, memory, evaluation, guardrails)
  • Build and maintain RAG pipelines , structured prompting, and retrieval strategies
  • Treat simulation as a first‑class design tool (using synthetic data, scenario replay, and state machines to validate logic)
  • Fullstack Product Engineering
  • Build end‑to‑end product features spanning: Backend services (Python / TypeScript)
  • APIs (REST / GraphQL / FastAPI)
  • Frontend experiences (React)
  • Create human‑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 are secure, testable, and compliant by default
  • Use infrastructure‑as‑code and modern CI/CD practices
  • Champion simulation‑led design , testability, and fast feedback loops
  • What Success Looks Like (6-12 Months)
  • AI agents are shipping as core product capabilities , not experiments
  • Simulation and synthetic data are actively used to design and validate features
  • Product teams can move faster because AI systems are observable, testable, and trusted
  • Engineering quality improves without slowing delivery
  • Why IFS.ai Logistics
  • IFS.ai Logistics is building the next generation of logistics optimization software - combining AI, simulation, and human expertise to reduce cost, emissions, and complexity in global supply chains.
  • You'll work on hard problems , with real‑world impact , alongside a team that values design‑led thinking, technical depth, and autonomy .

Requirements

  • Core Experience
  • We are looking for an AI Engineer with a minimum of 5 years of hands-on, relevant industry experience
  • Strong fullstack engineer with deep backend capability
  • Production experience with Python, including solid experience building backend systems using Django.
  • Experience owning systems from concept to production
  • Comfortable working in small, 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 toward shipping , 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

Additional Information

Role Summary We are looking for a AI (Fullstack) Engineer to help evolve IFS.ai Logistics into an agent‑first, AI‑native product . This is not a traditional "add AI to an existing system" role. You will design and build LLM‑powered agents , simulation‑driven workflows , and AI‑native product capabilities that sit at the core of our logistics optimization platform. You will work across frontend, backend, data, and infrastructure , owning problems end‑to‑end and shaping how we build software - not just what we build.
