    Description

    The RoleMost engineers build for customers. FDEs build with them. You'll be embedded directly with high-value LSP accounts — owning integration architecture, customizing agent workflows, and serving as the ground truth between how LSPs actually operate and how our product team thinks they do. Your job is to transform logistics from a reactive service into a programmable network — replacing manual workflows with autonomous agent‑to‑agent coordination. What you learn in the field shapes the roadmap. You ship in weeks, not quarters.What You'll Work OnOwn end‑to‑end integration for dedicated LSP accounts — configure bi‑directional webhooks and event‑driven pipelines so AI agents can read, act, and write data into customer TMS, WMS, and ERP systems instantlyUnify disparate customer data into a single actionable signal — driving dynamic interoperability across core business systemsCustomize interfaces and agent logic to fit existing LSP workflows across freight procurement, load tendering, and exception handling — reducing time‑to‑value and making adoption feel naturalFeed the right context to agents and debug decisions when they go wrong — tracing failures back to the specific data point, prompt, or tool use that caused themBuild event‑driven pipelines (Kafka/PubSub) that carry agent intent at the scale of millions of logistics events per dayServe as the ground truth — we can't build a world‑class product in a silo.
