Founding Engineer

Delvo builds the next generation of procurement intelligence agents, helping enterprise procurement teams make faster, smarter decisions with real-time supplier insights, price benchmarking, and negotiation strategy. Our vision is to become the decision infrastructure for strategic procurement — an agentic layer that continuously improves with every negotiation and data point. As a Founding Engineer, you’ll work closely with the CTO to build agent orchestration, evaluation loops, and data pipelines, and ship a product that integrates directly into client ERP workflows. You’ll own key architectural decisions across the full stack (Next.js/TypeScript + Python) with high autonomy, meaningful equity, and visible impact from day one.

As a core member of the founding engineering team, working closely with the CTO, you will:

• Design and build agent orchestration systems - coordinating multiple AI/LLM agents, managing dependencies, ensuring robustness with incomplete or noisy data
• Collaborate directly with clients - rapid iteration and adjustment based on live feedback from the people using our product
• Explore cutting-edge AI/LLM techniques - context engineering, retrieval augmentation, embeddings, fine-tuning, reasoning chains
• Own architectural decisions - stack, infrastructure, deployment, scalability, performance, security, and compliance
• Build evaluation loops for autonomous behavior - monitoring, measuring, and improving quality, safety, and performance of AI agents
• Implement real-time supplier data pipelines - ingesting and normalizing financial, market, risk, and performance data to enable fast, actionable insights
• Integrate with client ERP systems - ensuring smooth, reliable connections to core enterprise workflows so our product delivers impact where decisions actually happen
