About Burq

Burq started with an ambitious mission: to turn the complex process of offering delivery into a simple, turnkey solution. It’s a big mission, and now we want you to join us in making it even bigger.

We’re proud to be recognized as one of Fast Company’s Best Workplaces for Innovators and a 2025 Inc. Magazine Power Partner, awards that highlight how we’re redefining the future of logistics while empowering our partners to grow.

Backed by leading Silicon Valley investors like Village Global, the fund whose investors include Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Reid Hoffman, and Sara Blakely, we’ve built a world-class team across the globe.

We operate at scale but remain small enough for every person to have a massive impact. There’s a lot of important work ahead, and joining Burq means the opportunity to grow faster than ever while doing the most meaningful work of your career.

Here’s a quick overview of what you will be doing:

The Role We're hiring a Staff AI/ML Engineer to help build the AI at the core of Burq — and we mean core, not cosmetic. We're pushing to be at the forefront of AI in logistics: building intelligent agents that automate work the industry still does by hand, and the prediction and optimization models that power smarter operational decisions in real time.

This is a high-ownership, hands-on role that spans two connected layers

• The agentic layer — multi-agent systems and copilots that understand a request and execute the right workflow end to end, automating manual operational work.
• The intelligence layer — forecasting, prediction, and optimization models that make and improve the decisions behind the product, getting smarter with every outcome.

You'll take ambiguous AI ideas from prototype to production, set the bar for what reliable AI looks like in an operationally demanding domain, and help define what the AI-native version of Burq becomes. You'll work closely with the founders, product, and engineering...
