- Drive automation and intelligence in procurement planning, production ops, batch tracking, and cold-chain management.

- Optimize for scalability, uptime, and fault-tolerance across multiple fulfillment nodes and delivery partners.

- Build platforms that support real-time availability, dynamic SLA promises, and last-mile routing decisions.

- Integrate with logistics, ERP, and analytics systems to create a seamless supply-demand loop.

- Ability to partner with data science, product, business, and design to deliver impact-driven platforms.

- Experience working in high-growth, multi-disciplinary environments with product-market complexity.

- Passion for clean code, mentoring engineers, and raising the bar across teams.
