About the role
Why p44LSP.ai? At project44, we believe in better — and p44LSP.ai is what better looks like for the logistics service provider market. For years, project44 focused on global shippers as our core customer. That focus worked. Our Shipper business is a category leader growing 20% year-over-year. That strength is what makes the next chapter possible. Shippers and LSPs are fundamentally different businesses. Shippers buy logistics software to support their core operations. Logistics Service Providers — freight forwarders, brokers, and 3PLs — sell logistics as their product. Their software is their competitive edge. They buy fast, build on APIs and agents, and reward teams that ship in weeks, not quarters. This is why we created p44LSP.ai: a dedicated, AI-native division built to serve the LSP market with the focus, speed, and resources it deserves. It's the scope and ownership of an AI startup, backed by the infrastructure of a $124M business — 259K carriers, billions of shipment outcomes, agents in production, and direct access to project44's data graph, carrier network, and enterprise relationships. This is a small, hand-picked team operating across Chicago, San Francisco, Bangalore, and the EU. Flat org. Forward-deployed engineering. AI coding tools across the workflow. Agents as the product surface. Customers who pilot in weeks and tell you what they think directly. The LSP market is moving fast. AI agent startups are growing 300%+ year-over-year, and seven of eight sell to LSPs. We have the data position, the platform, the customers, and now
the team. We're hiring the engineers who will build it with us.
The Role This is not a caretaker role. You will set the technical direction for a division being built from the ground up, build
the team, and own delivery against a product roadmap that moves fast. You ship, you lead, and you do both at the same time.
What You'll Own Set and execute the technical vision — microservices architecture, agentic AI systems, data pipelines, and customer-facing product surfaces Build and lead a high-performance engineering team across US and EU — hiring, developing, and retaining top talent Own the agentic AI engineering roadmap — how agents are built, reasoned with, debugged, and improved in production Partner with data science to design and build data-driven product capabilities that power LSP decision intelligence Work closely with Forward Deployed Engineers to close the loop between customer reality and product roadmap Represent engineering at the leadership level — contributing to product strategy, hiring, and go-to-market planning Obsess over customers and ensure customers are successful in adopting LSP platform.
