At FourKites we have the opportunity to tackle complex challenges with real-world impacts. Whether it's medical supplies from Cardinal Health or groceries for Walmart, the FourKites platform helps customers operate global supply chains that are efficient, agile and sustainable.

Join a team of curious problem solvers that celebrates differences, leads with empathy and values inclusivity.

As a Senior AI Engineer, you'll join a 10-person team focused on data integrations (shippers and carriers moving in and out of the FourKites ecosystem) and our active AI agent workstreams — including a support automation agent handling 60-70% of customer tickets, a voice agent that calls carriers to gather and update information, and an end-to-end carrier onboarding agent (email + voice). You'll work on features end to end (~75-80% backend, ~20-25% frontend) using Python, Java/GoLang, agentic frameworks like LangGraph, React, Redis and PostgreSQL. You'll develop products that change the logistics landscape for some of the biggest corporations in the world, and work closely with our US team and customers to shape the future of the industry.

What you’ll be doing:

Design, build, and productionize AI agents/workflows (e.g., support automation, voice, and onboarding agents) using agentic frameworks such as LangGraph
Develop, test, and maintain backend applications in Python and Java or GoLang
Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code across the full SDLC — development, QA, and release
Design and implement data models and database schemas
Collaborate with the frontend team to integrate the backend with the user interface
Perform code reviews and ensure code quality standards are met
Troubleshoot and debug applications, including AI agent workflows in production
Work with the DevOps team to deploy and manage applications in production (Kubernetes)
Continuously learn and stay up to date with new technologies and industry trends, particularly in the AI/agentic space

About the team:

Our product and engineering teams are dedicated to providing the industry's best-in-class end-to-end supply chain visibility platform.

We are committed to building a high-performing team with software craftsman-thinking, dedicated to developing and enhancing our core platform — and we want you to be a central part of it!
