Description
Guardian Service is hiring an AI-native software engineer to prototype and deploy internal tools that materially improve how the company operates.
This role is focused on building backend-heavy, AI-enabled systems that automate workflows across CRM, email, telephony, and operations. You’ll work directly with business teams to turn workflow pain points into working software—often in days, not months.
This is a high-ownership role for someone who enjoys building quickly, operating with minimal structure, and seeing their work drive immediate impact.
Why This Role Matters
Guardian Service views AI and internal tooling as a core competitive advantage. The systems built in this role will directly impact speed, efficiency, and scalability across the business.

Your Day-to-Day
- Rapidly prototype internal tools that eliminate manual work and improve efficiency
- Partner directly with business teams to translate workflow problems into software solutions
- Design, build, and deploy backend-heavy applications and automations
- Build tools locally for fast iteration, then migrate to cloud environments when validated
- Use LLMs and AI tooling pragmatically to accelerate development and enhance functionality
- Design system architectures, APIs, and async workflows
- Integrate tools with CRM, email, telephony, and internal data systems
- Own deployment, monitoring, and iteration of tools as they scale
About You
- Strong fluency in Python
- Strong backend engineering and systems design skills
- Experience building internal tools, workflow automations, or platform utilities
- Ability to operate independently from vague problem to working solution
- Familiarity with Google Cloud (e.g., BigQuery, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, etc.)
- Strong debugging instincts and practical product sense
- Comfort using AI tools and LLM APIs in development workflows
Nice to Have
- Experience with Salesforce or CRM-integrated systems
- Familiarity with telephony or contact-center systems
- Experience with workflow orchestration or email automation
- Experience with containerization and lightweight service deployment
- Insurance or fintech experience
