What this job asks for AI summary
A hands-on senior engineering role focused on building production AI agents that automate operational workflows — purchasing, inventory, order intake — for food distribution businesses. The work involves designing multi-step reasoning systems, memory and orchestration architectures, and evaluation loops against live ERP data, while also engaging directly with customers. The position is structured as a stepping stone to Head of Engineering, with code review and mentorship responsibilities from day one.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
The role has a clear trajectory toward Head of Engineering and includes code review, mentoring, and raising engineering standards — signals that could push this toward a people-management classification (11-3021). However, the posting emphasizes hands-on, production-grade building as the primary day-to-day activity, so Software Developers (15-1252) is the better fit, with 11-3021 as the runner-up.
Supply chain / logistics / fintech domain background appears under the 'Must-Have Requirements' section as 'Background in supply chain, logistics, fintech, or other workflow-heavy domains', making it a hard gate despite being domain knowledge rather than a named tool. The alternatives field captures the explicitly listed peer domains.
Agent frameworks, tool use, orchestration, and multi-step reasoning are listed under both the qualifications narrative and the 'Must-Have Requirements' hard-skills section; they are treated as required.
Production monitoring/evaluation loops and memory architectures appear in the responsibilities and qualifications narrative but are not explicitly called out in the 'Must-Have Requirements' block, so they are marked preferred.
Equity of 0.4–0.5% is offered alongside the stated salary range; this cannot be represented in the compensation fields.
The posting explicitly states no visa sponsorship and requires in-person presence in New York City; remote=false.
Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): supply chain / logistics domain knowledge, multi-step reasoning / orchestration, tool use / structured outputs, production monitoring / evaluation loops.
