AI-Forward Engineer: Build AI Tools for Every Team

Swoop Airlines and Aviation; Redwood City (CA); Ibrido; USD 120.000 - 180.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Swoop Airlines and Aviation in Redwood City, California is seeking an AI-Forward Engineer to lead the adoption of AI across product, engineering, data, design, sales, and operations. You will prototype with frontier models, then ship integrations that give our teams an unfair advantage.

The ideal candidate blends strong software fundamentals with a curious mindset about AI ecosystems and a drive to provide the best AI tools to every team.

Competenze

• 2+ years in engineering or DevOps roles - you know how software gets built, tested, and shipped
• Well-versed in multiple programming languages including TypeScript, Java, and Python
• Hands-on experience with Terraform, GitHub flows/actions, and CI/CD pipelines, and an instinct for where AI can accelerate them
• Knowledge of AWS
• Already building with AI, whether frontier models like Claude, Kimi, or Gemini; agentic coding tools; or something you hacked together last weekend
• Comfort working across teams that don't speak your language (product, data, design, sales, ops) and translating their pain into working tools

Mansioni

• Work closely with every function (product, engineering, data, design, operations, sales, and product marketing) to discover pain points and translate them into AI-enabled solutions
• Experiment with and implement AI-assisted developer tooling, leveraging Claude Code for agentic coding workflows and AI-enhanced CI/CD pipelines that help engineering teams ship faster with higher confidence
• Leverage frontier models (Claude, Gemini, Kimi, GPT) as core engineering tools, evaluating new model releases for coding, reasoning, and agentic capabilities, and integrating the best-fit models into team workflows as they evolve
• Build and evolve our AI-augmented testing pipeline: from product spec use cases through test cases, test data, unit tests, and end-to-end Playwright automation, all generated via Claude Code, plus large-scale codebase improvement and refactoring through AST-based tooling
• Evaluate and deploy AI-powered design tools, such as Figma, Pencil, Stitch, Veo, and Nano Banana
• Integrate AI-native intelligence platforms into go-to-market, operations, customer success, and support workflows
• Stay on the leading edge of the AI tool landscape: continuously scouting, testing, and benchmarking new tools as they emerge weekly
• Create internal tools and interfaces (chat-based assistants, dashboards, browser extensions, Slack integrations) that make AI capabilities accessible to nontechnical stakeholders
• Establish best practices for agentic engineering, model evaluation, cost management, security, and responsible AI use across the organization
• Instrument and monitor AI-powered systems for reliability, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness
