Role
Who you are
- We are not looking for just “straight-A students." We are looking for obsessive builders with spikes
- You build on nights and weekends. You have a repo, a side hustle, or a project you built just because you were curious
- You don't wait for class assignments to write code.You hate waiting for approval
- You prefer to ship, break, fix, and apologize rather than wait for a committee decision
- You are bored by easy tasks. You want problems that are more than 1 prompt away from a solution
- You grind to win. You are the type to skip social events just to climb the Esports ladder, ace a math competition, or debug a complex issue—purely for the joy of mastery
- Graduating with a BS or higher in STEM fields; available to start full-time in 2026
- Working in person in the SF or NYC office 4 days a week
- Proficiency with modern techstack. You can deliver a modern web app in hours not in days.
- Unblocking yourself. You thrive in ambiguity. Despite the chaos, you deliver high quality products and business impact
- AI Literate. You have strong intuition on how LLM works: where they excel and where they generate slop. You live and breathe AI native tools (Cursor, Codex, Claude Code etc.)
What the job involves
- You aren't just building features; you are building the autonomous brain for the Fortune 100’s global supply chain
- This program is designed to compress 3 years of learning into 1 year by throwing you into the deep end of production AI systems on Day 1
- Instead of sandboxed projects, you get to solve real problems and impact customers directly
- This program demands intense investment, but by the end, you will perform as a strong entry-level engineer jumpstarting your career
- Week 1 (Onboarding): Deep dive into tools and domain. You will ship code to production on Day 1 and fully grasp our dev loop by Friday
- Months 1-3 (Velocity): You will deliver 3 entry-level projects with increasing ambiguity. By the end of Month 3, you are expected to operate as a fully independent engineer
- Months 4-9 (The Rotation): You will rotate onto a different high-impact team to expand your surface area. Tracks include:
- Infrastructure: Scaling our training and inference architecture
- Platform: Building AI and full stack tooling for all of Loop
- Agents: Designing agents to solve critical workflows
- Modeling: Improving our foundation model for new use cases
- Special Projects: Partnering directly with the CEO/CTO and other execs
- Month 9+ (Graduation): You should demonstrate Mid-Level Engineer performance and will be considered for immediate promotion
- Ship critical infrastructure. Manage real-world logistics and financial data for the largest enterprise in the world.
- Own the why. Build deep context through customer calls, and understand the Loop’s value to our customers. You push back on requirements if you see a better, faster way to solve the customer’s problem
- AI proficiency. Work across system boundaries, from full-stack development to LLM agents to foundation models
- Leverage AI tools to handle the 90% boilerplate, so you can focus the highest leverage 10%: quality, architecture, product taste
- Raise the velocity bar. You will constantly optimize our dev loops, refactor legacy patterns, automate your own workflows and fix broken processes, using AI to push the boundaries
Our take
In the complex landscape of global supply chains, outdated financial infrastructure and manual processes have created a significant challenge for businesses in the logistics sector. Legacy systems often rely on labor-intensive methods for recording crucial shipping documents, leading to poor auditing practices and a lack of a single, reliable "source of truth" for payment transactions.
Loop, an audit and payment platform, is actively addressing these challenges with its AI-driven approach to transportation financial data. The company's platform consolidates and analyses information, providing real-time insights into costs, improving accuracy, and unlocking savings for its users.
In a 2023 milestone, Loop raised $35 million in a Series B funding round. This investment attests to the growing recognition of its value proposition and its potential to transform how money moves through the supply chain. With an expanding customer and partner base (that in 2024 grew to include Saudi Arabia through a partnership with Mastercard and JP Morgan through a supply chain payments partnership) and over $3 billion in booked total payment volume to date, Loop is poised for further growth and innovation.
