Original job description
At Didero, we’re building the autonomous supply chain, starting with agentic supplier management.
Global trade has never been more complex or more critical. Teams are underwater, reacting to a flood of challenges - from geopolitical risk to tariffs. Didero helps by automating time-intensive workflows with AI agents, deploying cutting-edge technology into one of the world’s most vital domains.
We’re backed by some of the world’s best venture funds and leading figures across AI, supply chain, and enterprise software.
About The Role
We are looking for a new-graduate Forward Deployed Engineer to join our team in Toronto. This role is for a technically strong, curious engineer who wants to work directly with customers, learn complex operations quickly, and build the systems that deploy Didero in the real world.
You will partner with customers to understand procurement and operations workflows including ERP integrations, data pipelines, workflow automation, supplier communication, reporting, and custom deployment needs. You will help translate messy real-world processes into reliable technical systems, with mentorship from experienced Forward Deployed and Product Engineering teammates.
This is a hands-on engineering role. You will build backend services, integrations, APIs, data pipelines, and workflow automations. Our core platform uses Django and Python; we care more about strong fundamentals and solving customer problems than prior years of experience with any single stack.
Please Note: This is a hybrid role based in Toronto and may involve occasional on-site work with customers, approximately 1-2 times per month, for discovery sessions, technical workshops, and deployment phases.
