Role Overview

At Arnata, we’re building the world’s first AI workforce for logistics—agents that negotiate freight, coordinate dispatch, track shipments, and manage complex workflows across phone, email, and software systems. Our mission: make logistics teams 100x more productive.

We’re looking for an exceptional AI Research Scientist to push the frontier of agent intelligence—reasoning, real-world tool use, negotiation, and multi-modal communication. This role is for someone who wants to shape the next generation of applied AI, not just publish papers.

What You'll Do

  1. Build and fine-tune multi-agent systems capable of dynamic reasoning and decision-making
  2. Research and prototype novel approaches to planning, voice and text negotiation, and real-time problem-solving
  3. Integrate with real-world systems: email, telephony, TMS platforms, APIs
  4. Ship research—into production—with real customer impact across trucking, brokerage, and global supply chains
  5. Collaborate with a small, elite team of engineers, product thinkers, and operators

Who You Are

  1. Proven experience doing applied AI research inside a product-driven company (e.g., OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Meta, etc. or startups)
  2. PhD or equivalent experience in AI, ML, NLP, or a related field
  3. Experience with LLMs, reasoning engines, planning, agent architectures, or autonomous systems
  4. You care about impact—not just benchmarks
  5. You move fast, think clearly, and want to own the AI brain behind a global system

Why Arnata

  1. Backed by top investors, real revenue from real-world customers, hyper-growth
  2. Work directly with the founder and CEO (PhD in Transportation Engineering)
  3. Build foundational AI agents in a trillion-dollar industry
  4. Equity and ownership in what could be the defining AI company in logistics
