Job Description

ABOUT THE ROLE

Circle Logistics is on the hunt for a curious, driven AI Applications Developer to join our growing technology team. You will help build the intelligent tools and integrations that keep our freight operations running smarter - from automating routine workflows to developing AI-powered features that our operations, sales, and carrier teams rely on every day.

This is a ground-floor opportunity to grow alongside a fast-scaling logistics company that is serious about technology. You will work directly with experienced engineers and business stakeholders, shipping real products from day one.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Design, build, and maintain AI-powered applications using large language models (LLMs) and modern APIs

  • Integrate AI features into internal tools, customer-facing portals, and operational dashboards

  • Prototype and iterate on automation ideas - from prompt engineering to full-stack features

  • Collaborate with operations, carrier relations, and sales teams to understand pain points and translate them into AI solutions

  • Assist in evaluating, fine-tuning, and improving model outputs and application reliability

  • Write clean, well-documented code and participate in code reviews

  • Monitor deployed AI applications and troubleshoot issues as they arise

  • Stay current on rapidly evolving AI tools, frameworks, and best practices

Qualifications

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field - or equivalent hands-on experience

  • Proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript

  • Hands-on experience working with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or similar)

  • Understanding of REST APIs and how to integrate third-party services

  • Comfort with prompt engineering, RAG pipelines, or AI agent frameworks is a strong plus

  • Familiarity with Git, basic CI/CD practices, and collaborative development workflows

  • Strong problem-solving instincts and a bias toward shipping working software

  • Excellent communication skills - you can explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical teammates

NICE TO HAVE

  • Experience in logistics, supply chain, or transportation technology

  • Familiarity with vector databases, embeddings, or semantic search

  • Exposure to workflow automation platforms (e.g., Hubspot, Make, n8n, or similar)

  • Experience building internal tools or ops dashboards

  • Knowledge of SQL or basic data analysis

Additional Information
