That is where AI changes the game.\nWe’re building a system that:\ningests real-time operational data, structured and unstructured\nsupports planning and execution decisions, with AI agents that act where it’s safe and hand over to humans where it isn’t\nadapts to constantly changing constraints\nWhat You’ll Work On\nAI in production. Building LLM- and agent-powered features into production .NET services: tool calling, structured outputs, retrieval over operational data, document and message understanding.\nThe seams. Designing the boundaries between deterministic business logic and probabilistic AI: validation, fallbacks, human-in-the-loop.\nTrust. Making AI measurable and trustworthy: evals, test sets, observability, guardrails and cost/latency budgets.\nOwnership. Owning features end to end, from problem framing with product to running them in production.\nDesign Principles\nkeep things simple before scalable\nprefer explicit logic over magic abstractions, and that includes AI: deterministic where you can, model where you must\noptimize for change, not perfection (models, prompts and providers will change)\nmeasure AI behaviour, don’t trust vibes\navoid “framework-driven architecture”\naccept that some parts will be ugly, temporarily\nTech Stack\n.NET · Vue.js · service-oriented architecture · relational + operational data storage · cloud-based infrastructure · LLM APIs and agent tooling (e.g. Semantic Kernel / Microsoft.Extensions.AI, MCP) · vector/semantic search · eval and tracing tools\nHow We Build\nAI-native development is the default. You use coding agents (e.g. Claude Code, Copilot) every day.\nYou own what you ship, whoever typed it: you review AI-generated code critically, test it and understand it.\nWhat We Expect\nStrong, senior-level .NET engineering\nAbility to navigate uncertainty and work in ambiguity\nWillingness to challenge decisions\nFocus on outcomes, not just code\nUnderstanding of trade-offs and complex systems, including when not to use AI\nPreferring ownership over comfort\nStrong Plus\nHaving shipped LLM/AI features to production and kept them running\nExperience with evals, prompt/version management or AI observability\nPython for prototyping and data work\nLogistics or other real-time operations domain experience\nWhat You Won’t Find Here\nover-engineering everything upfront\nunnecessary microservices\n“clean architecture” for the sake of it\nprocess-heavy development\nAI demos that never reach production\nwrapping a chatbot around a problem and calling it solved","description_format":"text","description_chars":2861,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Transportation & Logistics","Sea Freight","Logistics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T06:08:21Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":40,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-08T05:49:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cargoo-senior-ai-software-engineer-net","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cargoo-senior-ai-software-engineer-net.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-09T00:46:18Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1104,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3896,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":670005},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=670005"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcargoo-senior-ai-software-engineer-net"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcargoo-senior-ai-software-engineer-net"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcargoo-senior-ai-software-engineer-net"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cargoo-senior-ai-software-engineer-net\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcargoo-senior-ai-software-engineer-net"}]}
