AI Engineer (chicago)

Position Summary
Camping World Holdings is seeking an AI Engineer Developer to join our Technology & AI Organization. This role sits at the intersection of AI-assisted application development and full-stack engineering. You will take AI-generated front-end prototypes and transform them into production-grade, fully integrated applications—connecting user interfaces to backend services, APIs, databases, and enterprise systems.
You will work across the full software delivery lifecycle—from vibe-coded prototypes built in tools like Lovable and Claude, through GitHub-managed source control, CI/CD via Harness, and deployment to Vercel, GCP, and Azure. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who thrives at turning rapid AI-generated concepts into reliable, secure, scalable enterprise software.

Key Responsibilities
Full-Stack Integration of AI-Generated Applications
• Take front-end applications generated through AI coding tools (Lovable, Claude Code, Cursor) and extend them into full-stack solutions with backend logic, API integrations, and database connectivity.
• Wire up front-end React/Next.js applications to backend services including Supabase (PostgreSQL), Snowflake, Salesforce APIs, and internal microservices.
• Implement authentication and authorization flows using Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) SSO, OAuth 2.0, and RBAC patterns.
• Build and maintain RESTful and GraphQL API layers to connect UI components with enterprise data sources.
AI-Assisted Development Workflow
• Operate within Camping World’s “Vibe Code” development workflow: Lovable → GitHub → Claude Code → Wiring → Harness → Azure/Vercel.
• Leverage AI coding assistants (Claude, GitHub Copilot, Gemini Code Assist) to accelerate development while applying engineering judgment to AI-generated output.
• Review, refactor, and harden AI-generated code for production readiness—addressing security vulnerabilities, performance concerns, and maintainability.
• Collaborate with Agent Developers and AI Solution Architects to integrate AI agent capabilities into applications.
DevOps & Deployment
• Manage CI/CD pipelines in Harness for automated build, test, and deployment workflows.
• Deploy applications to Vercel (front-end/serverless), GCP (Kubernetes/Cloud Run), and Azure as required.
• Implement observability with Dynatrace, including application performance monitoring, log analytics, and alerting.
• Follow software supply chain security practices including container image scanning (Chainguard), secrets management (CyberArk), and dependency auditing.
Database & Data Integration
• Design and optimize PostgreSQL schemas (with pgvector for AI/embedding workloads) in Supabase.
• Build data integration pipelines connecting Snowflake data warehouse to application layers.
• Work with Snowflake MCP connectors to enable AI-driven data access within applications.
• Ensure data integrity, query performance, and proper indexing across application databases.
API Management & Security
• Configure and manage APIs through Kong/Konnect API gateway including rate limiting, authentication, and traffic management.
• Implement application security best practices including input validation, prompt injection prevention, and secure coding standards.
• Participate in code reviews with a focus on security and quality of AI-generated code.
