About VORTO

We are building software which enables businesses to be more economically and environmentally sustainable by digitally transforming the supply chain. As an AI Engineer at VORTO you will define the frontier of logistics optimization, supply prediction, and demand prediction.

About the Role
Are you prepared to work with a strong software engineering team that is dedicated to disrupting the status quo? Are you looking for a challenge that will leave you feeling fulfilled? If yes, our AI Software Engineer role is perfect for you!

Every member of the VORTO team is laser-focused on innovating on behalf of our customers. This position is highly entrepreneurial in nature, hence it requires candidates who can develop a full picture of the business problem to ship end-to-end solutions.

This role is roughly 80% software engineering and 20% data science. You will work with Go, TensorFlow, PostgreSQL and various Google Cloud Platform tools to develop “the brain” of the platform. Specifically, you will:

  • Solve problems using mechanistic, bottom-up thinking and statistical, top-down approaches
  • Develop novel mechanisms by which to optimize supply chain
  • Build and improve the intelligence behind our logistics simulations and market optimization algorithms
  • Implement and ship models to predict the demand for commodities at nodes in a logistics network, the availability of supply, estimated arrival times, delays and more

Requirements

Here are some qualifications we look for:

  • Ability to design and implement AI tools in Go
  • Experience in at least one ML framework, such as TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, etc.
  • Experience building solutions involving algorithms, optimization, reinforcement learning, artificial neural networks, discrete event simulation and case based reasoning
  • Ability to execute with little oversight and to solve problems quickly
  • Experience with function/path optimization and some of the more common algorithms – linear programming, BOBYQA, A* Search, simulated annealing
  • Advanced degree in a quantitative field

Compensation: $120-150k

It’s OK To Fail
Where camaraderie equals progress.
Vorto’s culture in one word? “Supportive,” said Henry Reohr. “I’ve never worked with such high-performing team members who are still able to go out of their way to help one another.” He knows his teammates have his back, and vice versa. Together, they have built an environment where failure is OK. “We just work together to move forward,” Reohr said. That sense of camaraderie goes beyond 9-5: The team frequently eats dinner together, and they now have a monthly game night thanks to a new employee’s enthusiasm — proof that togetherness starts from the beginning.

We have opportunities to shape culture. If you are willing to take initiative, organize something and rally the team around it, then the company will support you.

Own It
People-focused tech brings a sense of accountability.
When Baldini joined the engineering team, it was a small ragtag group with little experience, but they worked together to build a successful company. The team is now more robust with complementary skills and levels of expertise, plus strong code-review and mentoring processes — yet they maintain a fairly loose organizational and development process. “Our engineers have the freedom to build the solution that is most appropriate to the problem at hand,” Baldini said. They take ownership of those solutions and push themselves to make a difference for people who rely on the tech to do their jobs.

When we ship a new feature to production, that change immediately affects the livelihoods of thousands of people. That brings urgency and accountability to our team.
