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?

Our platform AI provider may use the content we send it, your profile and the job posting, to improve its models. We never sell your data. If you bring your own AI provider key, requests go directly to your provider under their terms.

Data Mesh Strategy & Architecture

Design and evolve Ford's data mesh architecture across manufacturing and enterprise domains — defining domain boundaries, data product contracts, and interoperability standards.

Establish and maintain federated computational governance policies (schema standards, data quality SLAs, security classifications, lineage and retention requirements) applied consistently across decentralized domain teams.

Champion adoption of next-generation technologies and cloud-native patterns (GCP, Vertex AI, agentic AI/LLM orchestration) to modernize legacy data workflows and drive measurable business impact.

Data Product Development

Lead the transformation of raw data landing in cloud platforms from Manufacturing systems, into curated, documented, high-quality data products.
Define and enforce data product standards: ownership, schema versioning, SLAs for freshness/completeness/accuracy, discoverability, and access controls.
Oversee the build-out of ingestion, transformation, and publishing pipelines (batch and streaming) that convert raw operational data into standardized, reusable data assets.
Design and build data structures and semantic layers (ontologies, knowledge graphs) that enable AI agents to interpret enterprise data consistently and with minimal human intervention.

Data Modeling & Architecture

Design and develop data models (enterprise, conceptual, logical, and physical) for assigned domains; manage and maintain models in a shared repository.
Partner with product and analytics teams to translate use cases into data requirements, providing architecture guidance, data models, and design reviews.
Establish and enforce data architecture principles, standards, and best practices across the team's data products (catalog, lineage, observability, security, interoperability).
Drive data quality initiatives: profile source-system data, define data quality requirements and metrics, and guide monitoring, measurement, reporting, and remediation.

Platform & Tooling

Drive adoption of cloud services like GCP as the technical backbone of the data mesh and data product ecosystem.
Evaluate and implement metadata management and data catalog solutions to support discoverability and trust across the mesh.
Establish monitoring, observability, and SLA-tracking for published data products.

Governance & Compliance

Own and evolve the federated governance framework, balancing global standards with domain-level autonomy, ensuring compliance with Ford's data security, privacy, and regulatory requirements.
Implement automated policy enforcement (schema validation, access control, metadata cataloging, lineage tracking) via GCP-native and third-party tooling.
Partner with cybersecurity, legal, and compliance teams to classify and protect sensitive manufacturing and enterprise data.
Ensure development patterns support Ford's data security requirements and global privacy regulations (privacy and compliance by design).

15+ years of experience leading, managing, or mentoring technical teams (direct people leadership, matrixed leadership, or lead/owner roles directing cross-functional teams).
Hands-on experience creating data models using data modeling tools.
Deep, hands-on experience with GCP technologies including BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Dataform, Data Fusion, Astronomer, or similar cloud data engineering tools.
Demonstrated experience designing or implementing data mesh or domain-oriented data architectures.
Understanding of AI/ML capabilities, with experience modeling semantic layers, knowledge graphs, or ontologies for a data platform.
Knowledge of data governance, data quality, and data product marketplace enablement practices.
