Project44 is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join p44LSP.ai, a dedicated AI-native division serving the logistics service provider (LSP) market. This is a small, hand-picked team operating across Chicago, San Francisco, Bangalore, and the EU, building AI-powered decision intelligence for freight forwarders, brokers, and 3PLs. You will design, build, and operate backend systems that power decision intelligence capabilities for logistics service providers in a fast-paced Agile environment. You won't be a cog in a large engineering machine—you'll be close to the product, close to customers, and shipping things that matter. The role emphasizes: - Backend system design and implementation for AI-native logistics software - Working with APIs and agents as core product surfaces - Rapid iteration cycles (shipping in weeks, not quarters) - Leveraging AI tools throughout the development workflow - Direct customer feedback and impact visibility Project44 is a $124M company with 259K carriers in its network, billions of shipment outcomes, and production AI agents. The parent company's Shipper business is a category leader growing 20% YoY. P44LSP.ai operates with startup scope and ownership while backed by enterprise infrastructure, data graph, carrier network, and relationships. The team operates in a flat org structure with forward-deployed engineering. All team members are expected to actively leverage AI in their day-to-day work—not as data scientists, but as intelligent users who identify where AI adds value, direct it effectively, evaluate outputs critically, and govern it responsibly.
