AI Engineer

Remote, USA
Posted Jun 13, 2026
Full-time

Hi there!

We're SweedPos, a product-driven startup building an all-in-one cannabis retail platform. We’re on the lookout for a AI 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 We’re Doing This

At Sweed, we believe in the medicinal potential of cannabis. It has been shown to help with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and many other conditions. Despite the lingering stigma, we see cannabis as a powerful tool for improving lives.

The industry is evolving rapidly, and we’re here to drive that transformation—making cannabis retail more efficient, accessible, and customer-friendly.


Where We Are Now

We’ve been on the market for 7 years, continuously growing and refining our product.

Our focus is on earning customer trust, which means constantly improving our delivery processes and rolling out new features. At the same time, we navigate the complex legal landscape of the cannabis industry, ensuring our platform remains compliant and future-proof.

Team Structure

Our total team size is over 200 people:

The development team is distributed globally and organized into cross-functional product teams. These teams typically consist of 8–12 members, including front-end and back-end developers, QA specialists, and analysts.
Each team is led by a Team Lead and a Product Owner, ensuring effective collaboration and clear direction.
Meanwhile, our CEO, account managers, and customer success team are based in the USA, working closely with us to align product development with business and user needs.

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; we're looking for someone who uses AI to close gaps and deliver 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

Nice to have

  • 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

    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 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)
