Company mission
To empower companies to efficiently scale their supply chain, no matter their size, stage or industry.
Role
Who you are
- Experience developing and deploying agentic workflows or AI agents to production environments (not just prototypes)
- Experience working with frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, or equivalent agent development kits (ADKs) (e.g., Google ADK, LlamaIndex)
- Expertise in Python development
- Understanding of ML pipelines and data workflows, ideally within AWS environments
- Comfort with debugging production issues related to data integrity, API reliability, and scalability
- Ability to work independently while collaborating within a distributed engineering team
- Fluent English communication skills
Desirable
- Experience leading or mentoring junior engineers
- Familiarity with DBT, SQL, and ML tools (maintenance-level knowledge sufficient)
- Prior exposure to DevOps processes (containerization, deployments)
- Interest or experience in agent-based product design (AI as co-worker concept)
- Understanding of product-oriented AI development — building systems that directly interact with end users
What the job involves
- As an AI Engineer at Shipwell, you will be at the forefront of building production-ready AI agents that transform how logistics operations work
- You'll design, develop, and deploy agentic workflows that act as autonomous digital workers—systems that don't just analyze data, but actively execute tasks, make decisions, and interact with users to solve real supply chain challenges
- Working with modern frameworks like LangChain and LangGraph, you'll architect intelligent systems that handle everything from shipment tracking to settlement processing
- This role goes beyond prototyping—you'll own the full lifecycle of AI agents in production, ensuring reliability, scalability, and data integrity across AWS infrastructure
- You'll collaborate with product, engineering, and data science teams to pioneer the next generation of AI-powered logistics solutions, where AI acts as a trusted co-worker rather than just a tool
- Collaborate closely with our product, engineering, analytics, data science, and product teams as we create new and enhance existing AI agents and capabilities
Our take
The existing infrastructure of the U.S. shipping industry is becoming antiquated, with the complexity of shipping logistics being siloed and requiring manual organization. Shippers must directly communicate with freight companies to organize their shipping logistics, in addition to organizing and paying drivers and managing vehicle fleets en-masse.
Shipwell provides an online marketplace and toolkit to help companies manage the booking, organization, and analysis of their shipping systems through an all-in-one service. The aim of the company is to improve the customer's ability to upscale their business and shipping fleets through automation and data insights.
Shipping management software is on the rise, so Shipwell finds itself within a competitive market. However, the company had a very successful 2024, having been recognized as a Challenger in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Transportation Management Systems (TMS), as well as experiencing exceptional growth. Going forward, the company remains focused on delivering even greater value for its customers, and with 16 consecutive quarters of growth since its launch, it's sure to continue impressing.
