Founding AI Engineer

At Guided, we build real-time agents that keep the wheels of the transportation industry spinning. Our AI works across voice, text and legacy systems to handle all the messy manual touch points needed to move anything from anywhere to anywhere.

We’re backed by Sequoia, growing fast and working with leading transport companies. To keep pace with customer demand, we’re hiring an AI Engineer to own the full lifecycle of our agent workflows — from prototype to production, evals to reliability at scale.

This isn’t research. It’s applied AI with feedback loops measured in minutes, not weeks.

The role

Your mission is to bridge user needs with the latest AI advancements, building production-grade agents that enhance operational workflows in logistics

Own and evolve our LLM pipeline: from prompt design, grounding, evals, and testing to live performance in production.

Build tools to scale agent behaviour across our customer use cases, enabling us to fine tune LLMs at scale

Improve agent reliability through better fallback design, error handling, and feedback loops

Architect the product from user experience to technical architecture

Ensure agents behave consistently across user segments, languages and customer-specific workflows
