Vorto uses AI technology to reduce empty miles and idle time created in matching shippers and truckers. Additionally, it deploys an agentic AI platform to automate and remove inefficiencies from all players involved in Supply Chain. This reduces carbon emission from trucks, makes products more affordable for everyday American, and improves the lives and earnings of approximately 3.5 million truck drivers in America which is the largest entrepreneurial population.\nWe operate in a very fast-paced and nimble environment that is highly focused on a team-first, accomplishment-focused culture that is passionate about our mission’s success. Our products have been developed by a world-class engineering team that simplifies and solves complex business problems. We encourage you to visit our careers page and readthis blog post to learn more about our culture.\nSome Facts About Us:\n· 1+ million shipments per year\n· Over $1 billion of freight under management\n· Cashflow positive since inception\n· Backed by Golden Gate Capital, a Tier 1 private equity firm based in San Francisco, CA. Golden Gate has a diverse portfolio of companies with over $15 billion in committed capital.\nAbout the Role\nWe are looking for an AI Engineer who thrives in one of the most demanding environments in technology: legacy supply chains, enterprise customers, startup speed, and chaotic real-world operations. At Vorto, AI Engineers are builder-owners who transform ambiguous, messy operational problems into intelligent, automated systems that materially change how physical goods move across America.\nYou will work across the full AI stack - from model training and agent design to retrieval pipelines and high-performance inference - to architect solutions that automate decisions previously handled by entire teams. This role blends deep ML expertise with practical engineering: roughly 70% hands-on software development and 30% advanced model development and integration.\nSuccess requires 10× velocity, first-principles thinking, strong fundamentals, and the grit to solve real-world problems where data is imperfect, conditions change hourly, and the cost of failure is high. AI Engineers at Vorto own outcomes end-to-end, recover fast, and build systems that scale beyond themselves.\nIf you want to build AI that actually runs the real world - not demos, not prototypes, but production systems moving billions in freight - this is the role.\nEssential Duties and Responsibilities:\nDesign and develop production level backend software used by our automated agents.\n\nDesign and deploy AI agents capable of task execution and decision-making, leveraging retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to improve accuracy and relevance.\n\nSolve complex problems using mechanistic and statistical approaches.\n\nDevelop predictive models for commodity demand, supply forecasting, ETA predictions, and delay detection.\n\nOptimize logistics simulations and market algorithms to improve operational efficiency.\n\nOther duties as assigned.\n\nRequirements:\nProven track record of independently delivering complex software engineering projects.\n\nExperience with ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Keras.\n\nSolid background in algorithms, optimization, neural networks, and reinforcement learning.\n\nAdvanced degree (MS preferred) in a quantitative field such as Computer Science or Engineering.\n\nBenefits\nAt VORTO we are committed to developing our employees and providing them exciting opportunities to grow and prosper in their careers.\nWe offer a competitive benefits package as well as numerous additional perks, including:\nCompetitive compensation package\n\nPaid Time Off and Holidays\n\nHealth, Dental and Vision Insurance\n\n401(k) retirement plan with company match\n\nFlex and Health Savings Plans\n\nCompany-paid life and short-term disability insurance\n\nCompany-paid parking or RTD pass\n\nVoluntary income protection benefits including Life, AD&D, Critical Illness, Hospital Indemnity, and Accident Protection Insurance\n\nTuition Assistance\n\nEmployee Assistance Program (EAP)\n\nFree or discounted legal program\n\nWe supply the industry's best hardware and productivity software\n\nVORTO is an Equal Opportunity Employer.\nThis position will be posted until a qualified candidate is hired.\nDisclaimer: This job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that are required of the employee. Other duties, responsibilities and activities may change or be assigned.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4595,"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":["Equity","Retirement plans","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents","Supply Chain & Logistics Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T11:25:49Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 3","filings_12m":3,"filings_prev_12m":6,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":112500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.141,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":428,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":500000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/vorto-ai-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/vorto-ai-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T05:12:44Z","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_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":7285,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"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":178009},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=178009"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvorto-ai-engineer"},{"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%2Fvorto-ai-engineer"},{"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%2Fvorto-ai-engineer"},{"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/vorto-ai-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvorto-ai-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":462167}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"vorto.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":462167},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
