About the Role

As a Senior Applied AI Engineer at Boon, you will be the bridge between research & industry to build an AI agentic platforman application layer that leverages existing AI technologies to create practical logistics solutions. We're focused on developing autonomous AI systems that can replace or significantly augment human operations in the logistics industry, not conducting fundamental AI research. You will architect and build sophisticated multi-agent systems capable of data-driven decision-making, planning, and multi-step reasoning that integrate deeply with fleet operations. Your work will directly impact how logistics companies operate, transforming manual workflows into intelligent, autonomous processes.

In This Role, You Will :

Design and implement comprehensive multi-agent AI systems capable of autonomous operation across dispatch, routing, maintenance, and financial workflows

Build agents that can reason, plan, and execute complex multi-step tasks with minimal human intervention

Develop sophisticated orchestration layers that coordinate multiple specialized agents working together to solve logistics challenges

Create agentic systems that can interface with and extract insights from diverse data sources (TMS systems, load boards, telematics, financial systems)

Implement advanced reasoning capabilities including planning, tool use, and self-correction mechanisms

Push the envelope on accuracy while being efficient across inference and fine-tuning.

Deploy LLM and agent evaluation that ensure reliability, safety, and performance at scale

Develop agent memory and knowledge systems that enable continuous learning and improvement

Build monitoring systems to track agent performance, detect drift, and ensure reliable operation

You're a Great Fit If :

You're passionate about building truly autonomous and maintainable AI systems that can transform industries

You're comfortable with the full AI development lifecycle from prototyping to production deployment

You can reason about ML fundamentals like transformer architecture, model embeddings, right choice of metrics and optimizers.

You have hands-on experience building and deploying agentic AI systems or other AI assistants

You're skilled at designing multi-agent workflows where specialized agents collaborate to solve complex problems

You're experienced with deep learning frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow.

You've looked at frameworks for building agentic systems (like LlamaIndex, Pydantic, LangChain or similar)

You understand the challenges of agent reliability, safety, and evaluation

You're motivated by practical applications and deploying iteratively than fundamental AI research

You have experience with Search, Indexing and Ranking technologies

Minimum Requirements for the Role :

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Machine Learning

5+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying AI / ML systems in production

Expertise in multi-agent system design and implementation

Proficiency with LLM orchestration technologies and agentic frameworks

Python skills with experience in modern AI / ML frameworks

Knowledge of distributed systems and data ETL at scale
