About iTrade Network

At iTrade

Network, we provide advanced supply chain software and insights tailored to the food & beverage industry. Our mission is clear and ambitious:
To feed the world. From the start, we’ve been dedicated to tackling the most pressing challenges within food and beverage supply chains, delivering innovative solutions and expert support that make a measurable impact.

Our cutting-edge technology helps businesses streamline complex procurement and fulfillment processes, minimize food waste, optimize inventory, manage compliance risk, and scale profitably. We’re proud to serve an elite customer base, including 13 of the top 25 North American grocers, 8 of the top 10 food service distributors, and 8 of the top 10 global food and beverage manufacturers.

We are building an AI-first company — which means AI isn’t a feature we bolt on; it’s the foundation of how we design products, make decisions, and ship software. As an Associate AI/ML Full Stack Developer, you’ll be on the front lines of that mission: building intelligent, production‑ready applications that put machine learning at the core of the user experience.

This is a role for someone who wants to grow fast. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers and data scientists on real problems, ship code that matters, and develop deep expertise at the intersection of AI/ML and full stack development — all in service of one of the most consequential industries in the world.

• Build and ship AI‑powered full stack applications — from model integration to user‑facing interfaces — using modern frameworks and cloud‑native infrastructure.
• Partner with data scientists to bring ML models into production: wrapping them in APIs, optimizing inference pipelines, and monitoring performance in live environments.
• Own end‑to‑end data pipelines that support model training, validation, and deployment workflows.
• Develop frontend experiences (React or similar) that surface AI‑driven insights in intuitive, responsive interfaces.
• Contribute to backend services and microservices that power model serving, data ingestion, and business logic.
• Participate in code reviews and collaborative design discussions — learning from senior engineers while sharing your own perspective.
• Stay current with the AI/ML landscape: new architectures, tooling, and frameworks move fast, and so do we.

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Solid grounding in data structures, algorithms, and object‑oriented programming.
• Understanding of core AI/ML concepts: supervised and unsupervised learning, neural networks, model evaluation.
• Proficiency in at least one backend language — Python strongly preferred given its centrality to the ML ecosystem.
• Hands‑on experience with web development (React, Angular, or comparable framework).
• Comfort with both SQL and No
  
  SQL databases.
• A problem‑solving mindset and genuine curiosity about how AI can change the way software works.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Python ML libraries:
  Tensor Flow, PyTorch, or Scikit‑learn.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and deploying ML workloads in the cloud.
• Exposure to LLM APIs, prompt engineering, or retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) patterns.
• Knowledge of MLOps tooling: experiment tracking, model registries, CI/CD for ML pipelines.
• Project or coursework experience building AI/ML applications end‑to‑end.

Who you are:

• You think AI‑first — when approaching a problem, your instinct is to ask how intelligence can be built into the solution, not added as an afterthought.
• You move fast and learn faster. You’re comfortable with ambiguity and excited by the pace of change in the AI space.
• You communicate clearly and collaborate naturally across disciplines — you can talk to a data scientist about model architecture and to a product manager about tradeoffs.
• You take ownership. You don’t wait to be told what to do next; you find the next important thing and work on it.
• You care about craft — clean code, thoughtful documentation, and systems that are built to last.
