About CoffeeSpace Partner Roles
This is a CoffeeSpace Partner Role — we work with select early-stage founders building ambitious, category-defining companies. We help them find their foundational hires through a mix of deep search, outbound, and semantic matching.
This particular role is with an early-stage AI startup in San Francisco building autonomous integration agents for the global supply chain.
The Company - In AI x Supply Chain
This company builds AI agents that automate B2B integrations across logistics, warehousing, and retail — transforming months of manual work into intelligent, autonomous workflows.
Today, supply chain integrations are slow and messy: analyst weeks, custom APIs, spreadsheet wrangling, brittle middleware, and long onboarding cycles.
Their LLM-powered integration agents replace all of that by:
• Learning and mapping systems autonomously
• Monitoring pipelines and fixing failures in real time
• Reducing engineering effort with every new deployment
The outcome: 10× faster, 10× cheaper integrations — without armies of consultants or custom one-off middleware.
The company has:
• Raised $1.6M from top-tier early-stage investors
• Multiple six-figure customer contracts already closed
• Production deployments live today, with strong demand from logistics tech vendors
If you want to build AI systems that automate real, messy, high-impact problems at the core of the global economy — this is that opportunity. A rare chance to join early, ship fast, and shape a new AI category.
The Founder
The founding team brings a mix of deep operational expertise and strong enterprise execution across logistics, supply chain, and integrations. Their experience includes:
• Amazon — operating at scale in complex supply chain and warehouse environments
• KPMG — delivering enterprise-grade audit, controls, and systems rigor
• Leading expansion at a fast-growing logistics startup, building warehouse networks from the ground up
• High-agency, high-velocity execution in unsexy, operationally intense industries ripe for AI transformation
The company sits at the intersection of domain depth × AI-native integration × rigorous execution.
The Role — Founding Engineer
You'll be the first technical hire — building the core AI integration agents that automate the global supply chain. This role works directly with the founders and touches everything: frontend, backend, infra, and LLM-powered orchestration. You will architect, ship, and iterate fast alongside real customers.
You will
• Own the full product stack: backend (Node/TS), frontend (React), infra (AWS/Vercel), and internal tooling
• Build core agentic systems: autonomous system mapping, retries, queues, monitoring, exception pipelines
• Design and scale LLM pipelines + orchestration flows
• Work directly with founders on architecture, UX flows, and customer needs
• Dive into anything that moves the product forward — integrations, pipelines, infra, agents, or ops
• Own problems end-to-end without waiting for permission or strict specs
You're right if you
• Work fast, take extreme ownership, and thrive in ambiguity
• Move comfortably between frontend, backend, infra, and LLM tooling
• Prefer shipping over debating; progress over perfection
• Have 3–8 years experience or exceptional 0→1 projects that prove you're dangerous
• Communicate clearly and always close the loop
• Want to build in-person in San Francisco with a tight, high-velocity team
You're wrong if you
• Need hand-holding or rigid structure to start
• Move slowly, over-intellectualize, or avoid ambiguity
• See yourself as "just backend," "just frontend," or "just infra"
• Want big-company pace, guardrails, or comfort
