Fullstack AI Engineer (Staff) - IFS Logistics
Job description
Technical lead for the new Experience squad at IFS Logistics, an AI-native enterprise logistics platform, setting technical direction for the customer-facing layer (SSO, identity, IFS Intelligence integration, demo environment, cross-product surface) while staying hands-on.

What you'll do
- Set the technical direction for the Experience squad, the layer where the platform meets the customer: SSO and identity, IFS Intelligence integration, the demo environment, and the cross-product surface tying Data Connect, TPAO, Shipper TMS and Revenue Protect into one product
- Help build the squad, set its architecture and standards, and be accountable for what it ships
- Own API v3 and the service boundaries that let four product areas share one identity, permission and navigation model
- Build SSO, tenancy and permissions done once, properly — "all data visible by default, restricted only by exception"
- Build a demo environment that is a real product surface, commercially load-bearing and used every week
- Work on IFS Intelligence and IFS Cloud integration, including the embedding path opened up by Project Oliver
- Define where the agent sits in each new surface, and the guardrails, observability and cost controls that make agentic behaviour safe to ship
- Review React as readily as Django; review code, pair and give honest feedback
- Be the squad's technical voice to the VP Product and Chief Architect
What we're looking for
- Around eight years or more building and running production software, with real depth in Python/Django REST API design, data modelling and service reliability
- Have set technical direction for a team: chosen the approach, written it down, defended it, and changed it when wrong
- Strong on performance, cost and observability; have owned the pager as well as the design doc
- Genuinely fullstack — comfortable in React and able to raise the bar on frontend work you do not write yourself
- Raise other people's standards; review, pairing and honest feedback are done by default
- AI-native in practice: build with Cursor and Claude daily, know how to give an agent the right context, and can tell when its output is wrong
- Form and state a view; ambiguity is the job, not a blocker
- Based in either the UK or the Netherlands
Nice to have
- Multi-tenant enterprise SaaS, SSO/identity, or ERP integration experience
- LLM agent orchestration, RAG or evals in production
- Shipped agents into a product for real work, like agentic audit or agent-managed fulfilment rules, with a view on where an agent earns its place and where it does not
- Simulation or scenario modelling: synthetic data or replay used to prove out logic before it ships
- BigQuery, dbt, Pub/Sub, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform
- Logistics, supply chain or freight
