Project44 is hiring a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to join p44LSP.ai, a new AI-native division focused on the logistics service provider (LSP) market. This is a hybrid role based in Chicago, part of a small, hand-picked team operating across Chicago, San Francisco, Bangalore, and the EU.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), you'll be embedded directly with high-value LSP customers—freight forwarders, brokers, and 3PLs—owning integration architecture, customizing AI agent workflows, and serving as the ground truth between how LSPs actually operate and how the product team thinks they do. You'll transform logistics from reactive service into a programmable network, replacing manual workflows with autonomous agent-to-agent coordination.
Your responsibilities include:
- Building and deploying integrations that connect LSP systems to the p44LSP.ai platform
- Customizing AI agent workflows for customer-specific logistics operations
- Gathering field intelligence that directly shapes the product roadmap
- Shipping solutions in weeks, not quarters, in a fast-moving startup environment
- Leveraging AI coding tools and agents throughout your workflow
- Collaborating with a flat organization where engineers have significant ownership
Project44 is a $124M logistics software company with 259K carriers in its network and billions of shipment outcomes. p44LSP.ai is backed by this infrastructure while operating with the speed and focus of an AI startup. The team actively uses AI across all functions and expects engineers to be intelligent users of AI—identifying where it adds value, directing it effectively, and evaluating outputs critically.
This role is ideal for a senior engineer who thrives on direct customer interaction, enjoys solving complex integration challenges, and wants to drive product decisions through field insights. You'll work with customers who pilot in weeks and provide direct feedback, making your impact immediately visible.
