Backend AI Engineer

Swantide is the leading vertical AI platform purpose-built for salesforce management and professional services automation. Our platform of specialized AI agents handle the mind-numbing complexity of Salesforce —from initial planning through deployment and beyond.

Why This Matters

Professional services represent one of AI's most significant untapped frontiers. While companies pour billions into Salesforce licenses, they spend 6x more just trying to make it work. Leading consultants and organizations now use Swantide to deliver the same amount of work, faster and with better margins.

The Role: Backend AI Engineer

We are looking for a driven backend-focused engineer with a passion for AI to join our early engineering team. You'll take ownership of the services, pipelines, and infrastructure that power our AI Admin and customer-facing products.

This isn't just another backend role. You'll be architecting the foundation for AI agents that handle complex, multi-step workflows. You'll build the infrastructure that allows our AI to understand enterprise context, execute changes safely, and scale to handle billions in transaction value.

If you're excited about building the backend systems that will power the future of professional services, this is your opportunity to make a massive impact.
