About the position

At VORTO, we are building software that enables businesses to be more economically and environmentally sustainable by digitally transforming the supply chain. As an AI Engineer at VORTO, you will define the frontier of logistics optimization, supply prediction, and demand prediction. This position is highly entrepreneurial in nature, requiring candidates who can develop a full picture of the business problem to ship end-to-end solutions. The role is roughly 80% software engineering and 20% data science. You will work with a strong software engineering team that is dedicated to disrupting the status quo. Every member of the VORTO team is laser-focused on innovating on behalf of our customers. You will solve problems using mechanistic, bottom-up thinking and statistical, top-down approaches. Your responsibilities will include developing novel mechanisms to optimize the supply chain, improving the intelligence behind our logistics simulations and market optimization algorithms, and implementing models to predict demand for commodities at nodes in a logistics network, availability of supply, estimated arrival times, delays, and more.
