Job Description

Associate AI Engineer - Build the Future of Logistics with Generative AI

We’re a global logistics leader transforming how goods move across the world — and we believe Generative AI will redefine everything from planning to customer experience.

We’re building a brand-new AI Engineering team in Shanghai to work on cutting-edge Generative AI and LLM systems. If you're a software engineer who’s excited by open-ended challenges, fluent in English, and eager to shape the future with AI — we want you on the team.

You won’t be tweaking models in notebooks. You’ll be building real products, AI-enabled tools, and large-scale systems that change how global logistics operates every day.

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, and ship LLM-powered tools, agents and assistants for real-world users.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to analyze business processes and identify AI automation opportunities.
• Integrate LLM-based solutions and other AI technologies into complex logistics systems and enterprise workflows
• Build and maintain AI pipelines, including data collection, preprocessing, model deployment, and monitoring.
• Collaborate with global teams across product, infrastructure, and data engineering.

Who You Are

We hire for mindset and potential, but this role is for engineers who love to build.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, AI, or a related field.
• Recent graduate or 1–2 years of experience in backend/software engineering.
• Eager to dive into LLMs and build production systems.
• Some exposure to AI APIs, open-source models, or personal projects.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and a data-driven mindset.
• Strong communicator in English, and comfortable working across time zones.
• Located in Shanghai, with 2–3 days/week in office (hybrid).
• The perfect candidate also comes with experience from the supply chain industry

What We Offer

• Competitive salary + bonus, aligned with your experience
• Work directly on applied GenAI systems with real-world users
• Fast-paced, startup-style team inside a stable global company
• Career growth opportunities and international collaboration
• Flexible hybrid work in central Shanghai
• Supportive and curious team culture

We care more about how you think than where you've worked.
If you're ready to build real things with Generative AI, we'd love to meet you.
