Join our Breakthrough Engineering team with our newly added Senior AI Engineer role! We are seeking a talented and experienced senior level engineer with a background in generative AI and machine learning to join our innovative engineering team. In this role, you will contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of full-stack software solutions, with a focus on integrating AI/ML technologies to enhance our products and services.
Over $20 trillion of freight moves through the U.S. economy every year, and most of it is still managed through fragmented data, manual processes, and knowledge that lives in people’s heads. We’re changing that. Breakthrough is building agentic AI that can reason through complex, customer-specific freight scenarios and operate reliably in workflows where the stakes are measured in real dollars.
Agentic capability is becoming the foundation of how every product in our portfolio works. This is not a side project. You’ll join a team of engineers, product managers, and domain experts building production agentic systems from the ground up.
Freight is a deceptively complex domain: fragmented data sources, constantly shifting constraints, and an ecosystem of carriers, shippers, and intermediaries that doesn’t sit still.
The problems you’ll work on include:
• Designing agent reasoning that navigates complex, customer-specific freight scenarios
• Solving entity resolution and data integration across diverse data sources
• Building evaluation and reliability frameworks that prove agent decisions are sound before they touch customer workflows
• Defining orchestration patterns that scale from a single product to platform-wide agentic capability
You’ll work with years of real, proprietary freight data. You’ll influence how these agents interact with users, working alongside product, design, and domain experts. This is not a research role. We ship. But the people who thrive here think deeply about how agents should work, not just how to make them work right now. If you’ve been building agentic systems and want to see what happens when they meet a hard, real-world domain with real data and real consequences, this is where that work happens.
This role is open to work on-site in Green Bay or remote/hybrid options based on relevancy of candidate experience.
