Your Mission in Motion:
A summary of key responsibilities for the role is outlined below. Additional duties may be assigned as needed to support business objectives.
Define and own the target-state architecture for OnTrac ’s AI-native logistics platform on GCP, spanning shared platform services, reusable core services, domain applications, and the AI and agent layer that runs across them.
Design and build agentic and multi-agent systems, including agent orchestration, planning and tool use, memory and state management, human-in-the-loop controls, and agent-to-agent (A2A) communication.
Architect the MCP server ecosystem that exposes core logistics services (orders, shipments, tracking, locations, routing) and enterprise data as governed, reusable tools for internal and external AI agents.
Design AI-ready data platforms, including batch and real-time streaming pipelines, lakehouse and warehouse architectures, feature stores, and vector stores, using services such as BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Spanner, AlloyDB, and Vertex AI Vector Search.
Define a canonical, unified data model and event taxonomy for orders, shipments, scan events, locations, containers, and drivers, published as versioned contracts and as semantic context for LLMs and agents, with data quality, lineage, and governance built in.
Define the API and integration architecture, including API-first design, REST, gRPC, and asynchronous APIs, OpenAPI and AsyncAPI contracts, API management through Apigee, and event-driven integration over Pub/Sub and Kafka, serving applications and AI agents alike.
Apply and document architecture patterns for distributed and AI systems, including microservices, domain-driven design, event sourcing, CQRS, and saga, alongside agentic patterns such as ReAct, planner-executor, supervisor and router agents, and advanced RAG, and publish reference architectures for engineering teams.
Build proofs of concept, prototypes, and reference implementations hands-on to validate new models, agent frameworks, and AI tools, de-risk designs, and move quickly from experiment to production; write production-quality code alongside engineering teams.
Apply AI to last mile delivery capabilities, including intelligent order intake, address validation and geocoding, route optimization, delivery promise and ETA prediction, exception management, AI-powered control tower operations, driver and dispatch assistance, and conversational customer experiences.
