About this role

AI Developer – Remote

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM U.S. Mountain Time

About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring an AI Developer to help build the next generation of AI-powered solutions as they transition into a native-AI agency.

This is a hands-on role focused on designing, building, and maintaining AI agents using modern AI development tools and automation frameworks. You’ll own projects from scoping through deployment, working closely with leadership to build scalable, production-ready AI systems.

If you enjoy building AI agents, solving complex problems, and taking ownership of technical decisions, we’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

AI Agent Development

  • Design, build, and maintain AI agents that power the company’s transition to a native-AI agency.
  • Own the full development lifecycle from scoping through deployment.
  • Monitor agent performance, identify failures, and continuously improve AI capabilities.

Tooling & Orchestration

  • Build reliable AI workflows using Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Inngest.
  • Develop scalable automation pipelines and event-driven workflows.

Backend & Data Layer

  • Develop and manage solutions using Supabase.
  • Build and maintain database schemas, authentication, and real-time functionality to support AI agents.

Technical Ownership

  • Take full ownership of AI architecture, tooling decisions, and production quality.
  • Work independently while making technical decisions with minimal oversight.

Required Experience & Skills

  • At least 1 year of professional experience building AI agents or AI-powered applications.
  • Experience with Claude Code and/or OpenAI Codex for AI development and code generation.
  • Working knowledge of Inngest for event-driven orchestration and background jobs.
  • Hands-on experience with Supabase, including database design, authentication, and real-time features.
  • Comfortable working independently as the primary AI developer.
  • Availability to work U.S. Mountain Time (8:00 AM – 5:00 PM).

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • You take ownership and proactively identify what needs to be built.
  • You’re comfortable working in a fast-changing environment with evolving requirements.
  • You communicate clearly and proactively, especially when blocked or shipping new work.
  • You focus on practical, working solutions and know when to prototype versus optimize.

What a Typical Day Looks Like

  • Review AI agent logs and resolve production issues.
  • Build new AI agents and extend Inngest workflows.
  • Develop and maintain Supabase databases and integrations.
  • Participate in standups or async team updates.
  • Document completed work and communicate technical decisions.
  • Own projects from design through deployment without handoffs.

Interview Process

  1. Application Review
  2. Spark Hire Intro Video (3–5 minutes)
  3. AI Technical Assessment
  4. Recruiter Interview
  5. Client Interview
  6. Offer & Onboarding

What Happens After You Apply

After submitting your application, you’ll receive an email invitation from Spark Hire to record a short 3–5 minute Intro Video. This is the first step in our hiring process and can be completed whenever it’s convenient for you.

Instead of repeating your experience across multiple screening calls, you’ll have one opportunity to introduce yourself and discuss your experience building AI agents, working with tools like Claude Code, Codex, Inngest, and Supabase, and solving real-world technical challenges. Your video will be reviewed before moving forward to the next stage.

You can record your video as many times as you’d like before submitting it—only your final version will be reviewed.

Please keep an eye on both your inbox and spam folder for your Spark Hire invitation after applying.

If you’re excited about building AI agents, owning technical decisions, and helping shape the future of an AI-first company, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today to join a fast-moving team building production-ready AI solutions.
