AI Tools Proficiency
Production engineering at Unico Connect assumes AI tools form part of the daily workflow rather than an experimental augmentation. For this role specifically:
- Cursor or Claude Code as the default integrated development environment
- Claude for Swift code review and refactoring
- Apple Intelligence and Xcode AI features
- Whisper for client meeting transcription
What we look for at Unico Connect
Every Unico role expects the same underlying traits — regardless of department or seniority. If these resonate, apply.
Fluent with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Figma AI, or whatever is relevant to your craft. We expect AI tools in the loop, not as a novelty.
Fast cycles, real ownership, low ceremony. You will not be a cog.
Output and outcomes matter more than process. You ship work that moves a metric.
You treat the codebase, the deliverable, and the client relationship as your own.
You joined because you want to ship amazing tech products, not warm a seat.
