Senior Forward Deployed Engineer

AI summary of the role

Senior Forward Deployed Engineer embedded with high-value logistics service provider (LSP) accounts, owning integration architecture and customizing agent workflows.

What you’ll do

  • Own end-to-end integration for dedicated LSP accounts, configuring bi-directional webhooks and event-driven pipelines for AI agents to read, act, and write into customer TMS, WMS, and ERP systems
  • Unify disparate customer data into a single actionable signal for dynamic interoperability
  • Customize interfaces and agent logic to fit LSP workflows across freight procurement, load tendering, and exception handling
  • Feed context to agents and debug decisions, tracing failures to specific data points, prompts, or tool use

What you’ll bring

  • 5+ years in software engineering, solutions engineering, or technical implementation in a customer-facing role
  • Mastery of API-first design and bi-directional webhook configuration
  • Experience with event-driven architecture and stream processing (Kafka, PubSub, or similar)
  • Hands-on integration experience with TMS, WMS, or ERP systems

defining are AI agents. We don’t expect everyone to be a data scientist, but we do expect everyone to identify where AI adds value, direct it effectively, evaluate its outputs critically, and govern it responsibly, in your own workflow and in the products you build. The Role Most engineers build for customers. FDEs build with them. You'll be embedded directly with high-value LSP accounts — owning integration architecture, customizing agent workflows, and serving as the ground truth between how LSPs actually operate and how our product team thinks they do. Your job is to transform logistics from a reactive service into a programmable network — replacing manual workflows with autonomous agent-to-agent coordination. What you learn in the field shapes the roadmap. You ship in weeks, not quarters. What You'll Work On Own end-to-end integration for dedicated LSP accounts — configure

Why p44LSP.ai? At project44, we believe in better — and p44LSP.ai is what better looks like for the logistics service provider market. For years, project44 focused on global shippers as our core customer. That focus worked. Our Shipper business is a category leader growing 20% year-over-year. That strength is what makes the next chapter possible. Shippers and LSPs are fundamentally different businesses. Shippers buy logistics software to support their core operations. Logistics Service Providers — freight forwarders, brokers, and 3PLs — sell logistics as their product. Their software is their competitive edge. They buy fast, build on APIs and agents, and reward teams that ship in weeks, not quarters. This is why we created p44LSP.ai: a dedicated, AI-native division built to serve the LSP market with the focus, speed, and resources it deserves. It's the scope and ownership of an AI startup, backed by the infrastructure of a $124M business — 259K carriers, billions of shipment outcomes, agents in production, and direct access to project44's data graph, carrier network, and enterprise relationships. This is a small, hand-picked team operating across Chicago, San Francisco, Bangalore, and the EU. Flat org. Forward-deployed engineering. AI coding tools across the workflow.
