AI Product Engineer

AI Product Engineer

We're SweedPos, a product-driven startup building an all-in-one cannabis retail platform. We're on the lookout for an AI Product Engineer to join us remotely and help us scale and optimize our platform.

About Us

At Sweed, we're reimagining how cannabis retailers operate. Our enterprise-grade platform combines POS, eCommerce, Marketing, Analytics and Inventory Management into a single, seamless solution—eliminating the need for multiple third-party tools.

We believe in simplicity, efficiency, and innovation. That's why we build for scalability and performance, making life easier for cannabis retailers while driving real business growth.

Why This Role Matters

An AI Product Engineer is a full-cycle engineer who independently ships features end-to-end: scoping, backend, frontend, deploy. What sets this role apart from a traditional fullstack developer is the ability to use AI tools as a core part of the workflow—Cursor, Claude, Codex and similar assistants help move fast and maintain quality across the entire stack.

We're not looking for a deep specialist in any single area. This is not a deep ML, research, or heavy infrastructure role: you don't need to train models, design custom neural network architectures, or own complex Kubernetes setups. We're looking for someone with range—an engineer who can use AI to close gaps, move across backend, frontend, and basic infrastructure, make pragmatic technical decisions, and deliver working product features consistently.

What You'll Be Working On

• Own features end-to-end—from task breakdown to production deploy
• Design and build server-side logic (REST and RPC APIs, services, integrations)
• Implement user interfaces—clean and fast, without over-engineering
• Set up CI/CD, containerisation, and feature-level infrastructure (DevOps basics)
• Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and task decomposition

What We're Looking For

• Backend
• 3–6 years of commercial experience in backend or fullstack development
• Proficiency in Node.js (Express / NestJS) or.NET
• Experience designing REST APIs and understanding of RPC approaches
• Solid work with relational databases (PostgreSQL / MySQL / MSSQL)
• Understanding of core patterns: queues, caching, async
• Frontend
• Confident React—enough to build a working UI independently
• TypeScript at a level sufficient to work with typed APIs
• Pixel-perfect is not required; speed and solid UX matter
• DevOps / infrastructure
• Docker and Docker Compose—confident everyday use
• Basic CI/CD with GitLab CI
• Experience deploying to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP or similar)
• AI engineering
• Active use of AI agents in development: Cursor, Claude, Codex or equivalents
• Familiarity with agentic workflows: plan mode, REPL-style iteration, and similar approaches
• Prompt engineering: ability to frame tasks clearly and load the context with relevant artefacts (code, schemas, requirements)
• Output verification and review—understands where models fail and why
• Degradation control: using tests and other mechanisms to maintain quality under agentic changes

What Else Matters?

• Proactivity – We love team members who take initiative and provide feedback
• Critical thinking – We value problem-solvers who think beyond just writing code
• Adaptability – Our industry is evolving fast, and we need people who thrive in change

What We Offer

• Salary in USD (B2B contract with the US company)
• 100% remote – We're a remote-first company, no offices needed!
• Flexible working hours – Core team time: 09:00-15:00 GMT (flexible per team)
• 20 paid vacation days + 12 holidays per year
• 3 sick leave days
• Medical insurance after probation
• Equipment reimbursement (laptops, monitors, etc.)

Hiring Process

• Intro Call with Sweed People Team (30 min) — experience, motivation & fit
• Technical Interview (90 min) — AI Coding Session
• System Design (90 min)
• Final interview (60 min)
