Forward Deployed Engineer - Supply Chain Solutions

You are an operational strike-team leader who sits at the intersection of full-stack software engineering, applied AI, operations research, and executive client strategy. Deployed to client command centers and logistics hubs, you will connect fragmented enterprise data, architect solutions, and build agentic AI systems that optimize real-world cargo moving across ocean, air, and land.

What you'll do:

• Embed & Map: Travel to client sites to map end-to-end supply chain processes, audit legacy systems, uncover hidden financial leaks, and translate complex operational constraints into technical architectures.
• Design and build production solutions spanning customer applications, internal tools, APIs, data pipelines, decision-support systems, and workflow automations connecting directly to client ERPs (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite), WMS, and TMS systems
• Build & Deploy Applied AI Solutions: Design and ship production-grade AI applications, agentic LLM workflows, and decision engines.
• Solve Complex Mathematical Optimization: Apply optimization algorithms and analytical methods to real-world logistics challenges to problems such as routing, mode selection, inventory positioning, container utilization, consolidation, and exception prioritization.
• Own the 90-Day Sprint Lifecycle: Drive high-velocity deployment sprints, taking solutions from discovery and architecture to live production deployment, operator adoption, and verified hard-dollar ROI measurement.
• Productize the Field: Partner closely with Flexport core Product and Platform Engineering teams to turn custom, field-tested client builds into reusable platform capabilities for our global logistics engine.
