Summary Generated by Built In

At Didero, we’re building the autonomous supply chain, starting with agentic supplier management.

Global trade has never been more complex or more critical. Teams are underwater, reacting to a flood of challenges — from geopolitical risk to tariffs. Didero helps by automating time-intensive workflows with AI agents, deploying cutting-edge technology into one of the world’s most vital domains.

We’re backed by some of the world’s best venture funds and leading figures across AI, supply chain, and enterprise software.

About the role

We're hiring an AI Applied Engineer to sit at the intersection of machine learning, agentic systems, and production software. You'll own the design and development of AI-powered workflows that automate high-stakes supply chain operations — building systems that actually think, act, and learn

What You’ll Do
  • Design and ship production AI agents that automate supplier management workflows

  • Own the full AI stack: model selection, prompt engineering, tool use, RAG pipelines, evals, and reliability.

  • Architect agentic systems that integrate with communication platforms, ERPs, and third-party APIs.

  • Drive quality through rapid iteration, build fast without shipping fragile systems.

  • Collaborate with product and domain experts to translate messy real-world workflows into clean, scalable AI solutions.

  • Shape how we approach applied AI at the company level, your opinions on architecture and methodology will matter.

You’ll be successful in this role if you…
  • Have hands-on experience building and deploying LLM-based applications or AI agents in production.

  • Think in systems; you understand how prompts, retrieval, memory, and tool calls interact at scale.

  • Care about outcomes, not just outputs, you build evals and measure what matters.

  • Are comfortable in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with short feedback loops.

  • Write clean, maintainable code across the backend and can collaborate on frontend integrations.

Qualifications
  • 8+ years as an autonomous, resourceful engineer building and scaling real-world applications.

  • Proven experience with LLMs, agentic frameworks (Pydantic, LangChain, LlamaIndex, custom), and AI workflow tooling.

  • Strong Python (Django or FastAPI) and familiarity with TypeScript / React for integration work.

  • Deep understanding of modern AI primitives: function calling, RAG, embeddings, structured outputs, evals.

  • Strong communication skills, able to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders effectively.

Bonus Points For:

  • Startup experience; founding engineer or early team member at a high-growth company.

  • Experience with B2B SaaS workflow automation and complex enterprise integrations.

  • Background in supply chain, procurement, or logistics tech.

  • Designing highly scalable and distributed AI systems.

  • Experience with a strongly typed language like C++, Java, Rust, Go

  • Has a strong understanding of system design, object oriented programming and good programming fundamentals.

Tech Stack

Django · Python · React · TypeScript

What we value at Didero
  • We go beyond OTIF. We’re obsessed with our customers and go above and beyond to ensure we’re their top supplier. We work hard to earn and maintain their trust.

  • Own it. We own what we do. We stand behind the quality of our work and do the right thing, especially when it costs us.

  • Move fast. Learn faster. We have a strong bias to action and shorten the cycle by following our curiosity to improve as we go.

  • Be relentless. When one route closes, we find another.

  • Disagree, then commit. This is an open contest of ideas. We’re direct, but with respect. We’re decisive, and everyone commits because we win together.

What We Offer:
  • Competitive compensation and equity

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance

  • Memberships for One Medical, Talkspace, Teladoc, and Kindbody

  • Unlimited PTO — we trust you to take the time you need

  • Monthly wellness stipend via ClassPass

  • Tech equipment for your setup

  • Catered lunches (for those in the office)
