You will work across the full AI stack — from model training and agent design to retrieval pipelines and high-performance inference — to architect solutions that automate decisions previously handled by entire teams. This role blends deep ML expertise with practical engineering: roughly 70% hands-on software development and 30% advanced model development and integration.
Success requires 10× velocity, first-principles thinking, strong fundamentals, and the grit to solve real-world problems where data is imperfect, conditions change hourly, and the cost of failure is high. AI Engineers at Vorto own outcomes end-to-end, recover fast, and build systems that scale beyond themselves.
If you want to build AI that actually runs the real world — not demos, not prototypes, but production systems moving billions in freight — this is the role.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Design and develop production level backend software used by our automated agents.
Design and deploy AI agents capable of task execution and decision-making, leveraging retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to improve accuracy and relevance.
Solve complex problems using mechanistic and statistical approaches.
Develop predictive models for commodity demand, supply forecasting, ETA predictions, and delay detection.
Optimize logistics simulations and market algorithms to improve operational efficiency.
Other duties as assigned.
Requirements
Proven track record of independently delivering complex software engineering projects.
Experience with ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Keras.
Solid background in algorithms, optimization, neural networks, and reinforcement learning.
Advanced degree (MS preferred) in a quantitative field such as Computer Science or Engineering.
