CommodityAI is building the operating system for the global commodities industry—the foundational sector responsible for moving the world's energy, metals, and agricultural resources.
Today, our platform actively manages billions of dollars of commercial contracts.
Behind every physical trade and shipment lies an incredibly complex layer of manual operations, with critical data trapped in unstructured emails, PDFs, and legacy software. CommodityAI serves as a digital operator that continuously interprets trade data, reconciles physical movements, and flags operational risks in real time.
We are a Y Combinator-backed company (W24) supported by top-tier investors, including Rebel Fund and the founders of YouTube and Reddit. We are currently scaling our engineering team in San Francisco to expand our platform's capabilities, handle rapidly growing transaction volumes, and deepen our intelligent automation workflows.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will own core technical pillars of our operating system, working directly with the founders to scale our infrastructure and AI capabilities.
We are looking for a senior- or staff-level engineer with a strong track record in fast-paced startup environments who prefers context over control and operates with a high degree of agency.
