AI Product Engineer

Hi there!

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 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.

Tech Stack

• Backend: Node.js / .NET, PostgreSQL, Redis
• Frontend: React, TypeScript
• CI/CD: GitLab CI, Docker
• AI tools: Cursor, Claude, Codex

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

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: 10:00-16:00 CET (flexible per team)

20 paid vacation days + 12 holidays per year

3 sick leave days

Medical insurance after probation

Equipment reimbursement (laptops, monitors, etc.)
