Stord manages over $10 billion of commerce annually through its fulfillment, warehousing, transportation, and operator-built software suite including OMS, Pre- and Post-Purchase, and WMS platforms. Stord is leveling the playing field for all brands to deliver the best consumer experience at scale.\nWith Stord, brands can increase cart conversion, improve unit economics, and drive sustained customer loyalty. Stord’s end-to-end commerce solutions combine best-in-class omnichannel fulfillment and shipping with leading technology to ensure fast shipping, reliable delivery promises, easy access to more channels, and improved margins on every order.\nHundreds of leading DTC and B2B companies like AG1, True Classic, Native, Seed Health, quip, goodr, Sundays for Dogs, and more trust Stord to deliver industry-leading consumer experiences on every order. Stord is headquartered in Atlanta with facilities across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Stord is backed by top-tier investors including Kleiner Perkins, Franklin Templeton, Founders Fund, Strike Capital, Baillie Gifford, and Salesforce Ventures.\nStord is revolutionizing the logistics industry with our cloud-based supply chain platform. Our AI team builds intelligent, LLM-driven features - including conversational agents, automated workflows, and AI-powered decision support - that are deeply integrated across Stord's product suite.We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to build core features on the AI Platform team. This is a hands-on engineering role - you will design and deliver complex AI-powered features, contribute to architectural decisions, and help raise the quality bar through strong technical execution. You'll work daily in our TypeScript-based AI platform built on Cloudflare Workers, building the agent infrastructure, tool systems, and integrations that power Stord's AI capabilities.\nThe right person for this role ships reliable, well-designed systems and is growing toward technical leadership. You write clean, idiomatic TypeScript, you have experience building LLM-powered features in production, and you know the difference between accepting model output and directing it toward high-quality results.\nWhat You'll Do\nHands-On Engineering\nDesign and build features across our AI platform: agent tool systems, prompt pipelines, integration APIs, and edge-deployed services\n\nWork daily in our TypeScript stack: Hono on Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects for stateful agents, D1/Drizzle for persistence, and the AI SDK (Anthropic Claude) for model interaction\n\nBuild scope-aware tool systems that safely expose platform capabilities (orders, inventory, knowledge base) to AI agents\n\nDesign fault-tolerant integrations with downstream services, including Elixir/Phoenix APIs, and ensure graceful degradation\n\nOwn features end-to-end: from technical design through implementation, testing, deployment, and production monitoring\n\nAI/LLM Application Development\nBuild and iterate on agentic AI features - tool calling, context management, multi-step workflows, and confidence-based routing\n\nImplement prompt engineering patterns, evaluation frameworks, and observability for LLM-powered systems\n\nIntegrate ML model outputs via API layers, collaborating with Data Scientists to understand model requirements and design clean integration boundaries\n\nContribute to the design of the Stord Agent Platform: agent orchestration, skill registries, and human-in-the-loop patterns\n\nTechnical Growth & Influence\nContribute to architectural decisions through design docs, code reviews, and technical discussions - forming well-reasoned opinions and defending them constructively\n\nProvide mentorship and guidance to junior and mid-level engineers on the team\n\nIdentify technical risks, propose improvements, and advocate for quality - don't wait to be assigned a ticket\n\nCreate leverage through clear code, well-documented decisions, and reusable patterns that make others faster\n\nUse AI coding tools effectively, maintaining a strong independent technical POV and producing high-quality results rather than accepting raw model output uncritically\n\nCross-Functional Collaboration\nCollaborate closely with Product Management and Design on feature development, providing technical perspective on feasibility and trade-offs\n\nSupport other product engineering teams in adopting AI capabilities within their domains\n\nParticipate in sprint planning, design reviews, and cross-team syncs\n\nWhat You'll Need\nRequired Technical Skills\nTypeScript (2+ years in production) - You write idiomatic, well-structured TypeScript and are comfortable owning significant portions of a TypeScript codebase. This is the primary language of the AI platform.\n\nAI/LLM Application Development - You have built and shipped LLM-powered or agentic features in production. You understand prompt engineering, tool/function calling, context management, and the practical challenges of making AI systems reliable.\n\nDistributed Systems & Edge Computing - Experience building stateful or high-availability services. Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, or similar edge runtime experience is a strong plus.\n\nAPI Design & Integration - Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs, OpenAPI specifications, and event-driven architectures. You'll integrate with multiple backend services daily.\n\nDatabase & Persistence - Strong SQL fundamentals. Experience with embedded/edge databases (D1, SQLite) or PostgreSQL. Drizzle ORM experience is a plus.\n\nCloud Platforms - Hands-on experience with Cloudflare, GCP, or AWS. Understanding of serverless and edge deployment models.\n\nObservability - Experience instrumenting production systems with OpenTelemetry, Datadog, or similar. You know what to measure and how to debug in production.\n\nRequired Soft Skills\nOwnership & Accountability - You own features end-to-end and take pride in what you ship. You follow through from design to production and don't drop things.\n\nStrong Communication - You can explain technical decisions and trade-offs to engineers, PMs, and stakeholders. You ask good questions and listen well.\n\nCollaborative Approach - You work well with others, give constructive code review feedback, and actively seek input from teammates.\n\nProduction Mindset - You prioritize reliability and user impact. You think about failure modes, monitoring, and operational concerns as part of your design process.\n\nLearning Agility - You're comfortable with rapidly evolving AI/ML technologies and tools. You stay current without chasing hype.\n\nDirected AI-Assisted Development - You know how to use AI coding tools as a productivity multiplier while maintaining quality and your own technical judgment.\n\nNice to Have\nElixir/Phoenix experience or familiarity (downstream services use Elixir)\n\nExperience with the Cloudflare developer platform (Workers, Durable Objects, D1, R2, Vectorize, AI Gateway, Queues)\n\nExperience with Anthropic Claude, the AI SDK (ai/ @ai-sdk/anthropic), or Model Context Protocol (MCP)\n\nKnowledge of logistics, e-commerce, or supply chain domains\n\nExperience with WebSocket-based real-time systems\n\nFamiliarity with scope-based authorization and multi-tenant systems\n\nContributions to open-source TypeScript or AI projects","description_format":"text","description_chars":7755,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"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":["Commerce","Transportation & Logistics","Logistics","Warehousing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-30T08:13:27Z"}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:12","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-01T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/stord-senior-software-engineer-ai-3","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/stord-senior-software-engineer-ai-3.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-01T11:27:59Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3186,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1814,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-02T00:00:00Z"}}}
