About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Build and ship automations and agentic workflows that call internal REST and GraphQL APIs to read data and take production actions
Deliver document automation using OCR, extraction, managed services, and LLM vision
Implement confidence thresholds, deterministic validation against TMS data, and routing of low-confidence results to human review
Determine and design the right approach for each workflow using LLMs, deterministic software, RPA, or purchased tools
Run build-versus-buy evaluations, POCs, and bake-offs covering total cost of ownership, integration effort, and operating burden
Implement build-or-buy decisions, including integrating and rolling out purchased solutions
Partner with the UiPath RPA team to augment or replace bots with AI and design clean AI/RPA handoffs
Coordinate with Engineering and Platform on required platform changes and deliver the automation work
Build evaluation infrastructure including labeled datasets, LLM-as-judge pipelines, regression testing, and release gates
Improve AI system dependability through validation, fallbacks, idempotency, permissions, audit trails, monitoring, and reviewer-correction capture
Inventory and rationalize Zapier automations by retaining, hardening, consolidating, or replacing them
Prototype against real workflows and data and take successful work through production
Document every automation with an owner, API dependencies, and a runbook

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of software engineering, including hands-on experience shipping LLM-based or automation systems to production
Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI) and agentic patterns: tool calling, structured outputs, exception routing, and human-in-the-loop
Sound judgment on when to use LLMs, deterministic software, or RPA
Experience building evaluation for non-deterministic systems: golden datasets, LLM-as-judge calibrated against human labels, and regression testing when prompts or models change
Experience evaluating and integrating third-party AI or automation tools, weighing cost, effort, and risk against building in-house
Strong backend engineering and REST/GraphQL API integration on AWS (Node.js/TypeScript preferred)
Clear communication with non-technical stakeholders: ability to turn an operational workflow into a system design and explain tradeoffs to leadership
Track record of shipping working systems beyond demos or prototypes
Freight or logistics background (TMS, EDI, drayage, or carrier/shipper operations) — nice to have
Document AI or OCR experience, including confidence calibration and human review workflows — nice to have
Experience with RPA platforms (UiPath preferred) and modernizing or augmenting existing bots with AI — nice to have
Low-code automation (Zapier) and workflow orchestration — nice to have
SQL and dbt; experience with Redshift, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, or Firestore — nice to have
React for lightweight internal tools — nice to have
Active GitHub or open-source work — nice to have
