AI Engineer

Role Description

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

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

Qualifications

• 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
• 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

Requirements

• Strong test coverage: unit, integration, e2e — writes tests as a real quality gate, not a formality
• Cross-team development experience: coordinating changes with adjacent teams, working with shared services or platform
• Experience in startups or small teams with broad ownership

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

Benefits

• 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 per year
• 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) — live task session
• Final interview (60 min)
