How does swipeandhired work?

You set your target roles, salary floor and locations once. swipeandhired scores matching postings against your profile, drafts tailored application materials with AI, and either lets you swipe to apply, one tap at a time, or runs fully on autopilot. Every application is tracked in your dashboard.

Which ATS platforms does swipeandhired support?

All of them. swipeandhired applies on every applicant tracking system (ATS) employers use, including Workday, SmartRecruiters, Greenhouse, iCIMS, Lever, Ashby, Taleo, SuccessFactors, Oracle Cloud and Jobvite, and on a company's own careers page when it uses none of them. You can also bring any posting yourself by link or pasted text.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Anytime, in one click from the billing portal in Settings. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period. No retention calls, no dark patterns.

Is my data used for training AI models?

No. Your resume and application data are processed only to run the service for you, matching, drafting, and submitting applications. We never sell your data. If you bring your own AI provider key, requests go directly to your provider under their terms.

About the job
CloudOps Platform Engineering is looking for a Principal IT Software Developer to lead the architecture, technical direction, and hands-on development of AI-first cloud lifecycle automation. Our team builds and operates enterprise cloud services that improve the delivery, reliability, scalability, and supportability of complex build and deployment workflows across globally distributed teams, including regulated or access-restricted environments.
In this role, you will apply AI to software architecture, engineering, validation, troubleshooting, recovery, and operations. You will use intelligent agents and automated workflows to reduce manual effort, detect failures earlier, accelerate remediation, and improve delivery outcomes while ensuring solutions remain secure, maintainable, observable, governed, and production-ready.
As a Principal IT Software Developer, you will:

Own the technical strategy, architecture, and hands-on development of secure cloud automation across services, environments, and enterprise systems.
Lead build, deployment, provisioning, configuration, user lifecycle, fleet-management, recovery, and decommissioning workflows.
Apply AI-first engineering and intelligent agents to automate repeatable decisions, development activities, validation, troubleshooting, and operational tasks with appropriate human oversight.
Improve reliability through automated testing, observability, failure detection, diagnosis, remediation, retry, cleanup, recovery, and fallback paths.
Lead complex integrations across cloud platforms, infrastructure as code, APIs, workflow orchestration, internal services, and enterprise systems.
Translate business, customer, operational, security, and regulatory requirements into reusable, maintainable, governed, and well-documented automation.
Coordinate delivery across distributed teams, mentor engineers and technical leads, and resolve architectural risks, dependencies, ownership gaps, and operational weaknesses.
Equivalent combination of related education, training and experience may be considered in place of the above qualifications.

Required qualifications

US Citizen required.
12+ years of experience delivering production software, automation services, and cloud workflows across multiple systems, environments, service portfolios, and engineering teams.
Demonstrated ability to set technical strategy and architecture while remaining hands-on in development, integration, troubleshooting, and delivery.
Strong experience with software architecture, APIs, workflow orchestration, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, cloud automation, and reusable service design.
Experience designing and supporting cloud provisioning, deployment, lifecycle management, recovery, and decommissioning workflows.
Hands-on experience integrating AI development tools, intelligent agents, or automated decision support into software delivery and operations.
Understanding of security, governance, validation, observability, auditability, cost, and human-oversight requirements for production AI automation.
Ability to diagnose distributed-system and workflow failures and design safe, observable, automated recovery processes.
Ability to lead technical decisions and coordinate delivery across distributed teams and stakeholder groups, including regulated or access-restricted environments.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including documentation of architecture, decisions, ownership, procedures, risks, and support expectations.
Equivalent combination of related education, training and experience may be considered in place of the above qualifications.

Preferred qualifications

Experience with infrastructure automation across public cloud, hybrid, or multi-cloud environments.
Experience with AI agents, multi-agent orchestration, tool integrations, technical-document retrieval, and AI-assisted development or operations.
Experience evaluating and governing AI automation, including model selection, validation, observability, auditability, security, cost controls, and human oversight.
Experience developing self-service automation, service catalogs, environment provisioning, fleet management, or enterprise service-management integrations.
Experience modernizing legacy workflows into reusable automation shared across services or product portfolios.
Experience supporting production cloud services across globally distributed engineering and operations teams.
Experience designing reusable automation frameworks that accommodate differing service, customer, security, and regulatory requirements.
