BackOps AI is an AI logistics companion that automates operational tasks for supply chain and logistics companies. It acts as an AI-powered ops team, handling tasks, resolving customer issues, and suggesting process improvements. The platform connects to over 100 WMS platforms, communication channels, and portals to ingest data. Users configure the system by feeding it their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in various formats (PDFs, text, MP3s). BackOps AI then automates routine tasks, escalates complex issues to humans, and resolves end-to-end issues by following SOPs. It can handle order entry, claims handling, order status inquiries, reshipment requests, quote requests, and invoice requests. The company emphasizes its "human in the loop" approach, allowing for team oversight and approvals. BackOps AI is built by a team with experience from major tech companies like Amazon, Apple, and Meta, focusing on solving complex logistics problems and edge cases. Their business model is primarily SaaS, offering automation that integrates with existing tech stacks.

Company Description
BackOps is at the forefront of supply chain intelligence, leveraging advanced AI to optimize logistics processes. Our solutions empower logistics teams to maximize efficiency and focus on mission-critical initiatives. We are dedicated to transforming the supply chain industry through innovative technology and data-driven insights.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Customer Success Engineer who loves connecting dots between customers, data, and product. You’ll be the bridge between our customers and engineering team, helping shape what we build next while driving adoption and growth within some of the most forward-thinking companies in logistics and supply chain.
You’ll lead weekly syncs with customers, surface insights that guide product priorities, and identify ways our platform can automate more of their operations. This role blends relationship management, technical understanding, and a sharp eye for opportunities, perfect for someone who wants to have both customer and product impact.
What You’ll Do
• Own the relationship with a portfolio of customers from onboarding to growth.
• Run weekly or bi-weekly meetings to track performance, gather feedback, and plan new automations.
• Translate customer feedback into product requests and partner closely with engineering to deliver solutions.
• Understand each customer’s workflow deeply enough to make smart recommendations that save time and money.
• Spot expansion opportunities and work with sales leadership to grow each account.
• Keep projects organized, track requests, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
• Serve as the internal advocate for your customers — driving visibility, action, and impact.
What We’re Looking For
• 3–5 years in a customer-facing and technical role (Technical Account Manager, Solutions Engineer, or Implementation Manager).
• Strong organizational skills with an obsession for follow-through.
• Ability to explain technical details to non-technical audiences.
• Experience working cross-functionally with engineering and product teams.
• A proactive mindset — you don’t wait to be told what’s broken, you find and fix it.
• Startup DNA: adaptable, curious, and ready to own outcomes.
Bonus Points
• Experience in logistics, supply chain, or automation technology.
• Background in SaaS, integrations, or data-heavy products.
Benefits & Perks
We take care of our team so you can do your best work.
• Competitive salary and performance-based incentives
• 401(k) plan
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
• Daily meals and snacks provided in-office
• Hybrid schedule
• FTO
