Applied AI Specialist

If you are obsessed with AI and love turning cutting-edge tools into real, deployed systems that people actually use, this is your role. Not research, not demos - implementation. You will be the person who brings AI into our clients' organizations and makes it stick.

At Swans, we are assembling a team of "Avengers": technical problem-solvers who walk into organizations, identify where AI can unlock the most value, and build and deploy the systems that make it happen.

AI adoption is the single biggest unlock for the organizations we work with - and the gap between "we have access to AI tools" and "AI is embedded in how we work" is enormous. Your job is to close that gap.

You will deploy AI solutions that are practical, safe, and built to last. This means working across the full stack of modern AI implementation: custom integrations, automation workflows, LLM-powered tools, and hands-on enablement with client teams. You will build the connectors, agents, and workflows that make AI actually work inside our clients' existing systems - and you will help our internal team move faster with AI as well.

Your primary toolkit will be the Claude and Google ecosystems, and you will stay at the cutting edge of what is possible with both.

You are embedded in client engagements and internal projects simultaneously. On the client side, you are building custom AI integrations, deploying workflows, and running enablement sessions that drive real adoption. Internally, you are the person who helps the team move faster by identifying and deploying new AI capabilities as they emerge.

No two weeks look the same. One week you are building a custom MCP connector to pipe client data into an AI workflow. The next you are deploying a Make automation that replaces hours of manual work. The week after that you are running a training session that changes how a team of 10 people does their job.

You are not a researcher or a prompt engineer. You build things, deploy them, and make sure they work.

If you are a high-performer frustrated by corporate bureaucracy, endless approvals, and career ladders based on tenure, this is your off-ramp. We are an anti-bureaucratic team for ambitious professionals who want their impact measured by results, not by time-in-seat.

If you are someone who has been doing AI work and loves the pace of the field but wants to actually see your work deployed and making a difference - rather than sitting in a research pipeline - this is your place. You will ship constantly, learn constantly, and own your outcomes.

• • 2-5 years of experience deploying AI tools and systems in a professional context

  • Background in any industry is welcome. Experience in professional services, consulting, or agencies is a strong plus, as is prior client-facing experience

  • Ideally from a company of 50-200 people where you wore multiple hats

  • Hands-on experience with LLMs and the Claude and/or Google AI ecosystem (e.g. Gemini, AI Studio, Claude API)

  • Experience building and deploying automation workflows (e.g. Make, n8n, Zapier)

  • Experience working with REST APIs and building custom integrations

  • Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar custom connector frameworks is a strong plus

  • Experience building custom AI agents, GPTs, or AI-powered tools

  • Comfort working with CRM and operational data as AI inputs

  • Experience helping teams adopt and embed AI tools into their daily workflows

• You are looking for a pure research or R&D role - this is implementation, not experimentation

• You have strong opinions about AI but have not actually deployed systems that real people use

• You are looking for a "chill" 40-hour job environment - this role is intense and you will be pushed daily

• You prefer to be assessed on inputs - this role requires you to own your outputs and your clients' results

• You need a structured, predictable corporate environment - priorities can shift quickly and we have zero tolerance for bureaucracy or office politics

The legal industry is broken - outdated, overpriced, and structurally rigged against innovation and access. Today, 92% of low-income households cannot afford legal help, and meaningful reform is blocked by laws that prohibit non-lawyers from owning or operating law firms.

Our mission is to change that. By equipping law firms with cutting-edge tech and world-class operations, we will push the industry 10 years forward - delivering faster, better, and more affordable legal services at scale.

Value alignment is non-negotiable. Because of the close collaboration with the founding team and the direct impact on clients, it is essential that you genuinely connect with and embody our commitment to our core values:

• Relentless Excellence: "We pursue mastery in every detail, not for perfection's sake, but because success with our clients and mission requires it."

• Radical Integrity: "We choose transparency, honesty, and accountability, not for virtue's sake, but because trust is the only way our work succeeds."

• Sincere Care: "We care enough to anticipate needs and act with empathy and intention, because genuine connection drives everything we build."

Our standards are high - historically, less than 0.5% of candidates possess the rare combination of technical aptitude, client-facing skills, and cultural alignment we require.
