Project44 is hiring a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to join p44LSP.ai, a dedicated AI-native division serving 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 will be embedded directly with high-value LSP accounts—freight forwarders, brokers, and 3PLs—owning integration architecture, customizing agent workflows, and serving as the ground truth between how LSPs actually operate and how the product team thinks they do. You will transform logistics from a reactive service into a programmable network, replacing manual workflows with autonomous agent-to-agent coordination.
Your responsibilities include:
- Building integrations and customizations for enterprise LSP customers
- Designing and deploying agent workflows tailored to customer operations
- Gathering field intelligence that directly shapes the product roadmap
- Shipping solutions in weeks, not quarters
- Collaborating across a flat organization with product, data, and customer teams
- Leveraging AI coding tools and agents as core development tools
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, intentional users of AI tools.
You should be comfortable with rapid iteration, direct customer feedback, and translating complex logistics workflows into scalable technical solutions. This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in customer-facing technical environments and want to drive product direction through field insights.
