Camping World Holdings is seeking an AI Production Readiness Engineer to bridge their cloud and DevOps operations with a next-generation AI-powered development platform. The role involves owning the platform underpinning the DevOps practice while driving AI development pipeline strategy and modernizing the delivery toolchain.
Responsibilities
- Production Readiness Assessment
- Receive prototype applications and conduct structured assessments covering security posture, data model integrity, authentication and authorization flows, input validation, dependency hygiene, and test coverage quality
- Identify and document failure patterns endemic to AI-generated code including hardcoded secrets, flat or unindexed schemas, missing error handling, and hallucinated or unpinned dependencies
- Produce clear remediation plans with prioritized findings, working within the architectural standards set by the Full-Stack Systems Architect
- Code Remediation & Hardening
- Refactor and harden AI-generated codebases to meet enterprise production standards across frontend frameworks, backend APIs, data modeling, and authentication systems
- Replace or rewrite AI-generated test suites against human-reviewed acceptance criteria, ensuring coverage reflects real production behavior rather than checkbox validation
- Use AI-augmented development tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate remediation work while exercising independent judgment on when AI tooling is introducing new risk
- Pattern Recognition & Knowledge Management
- Document recurring AI code failure patterns and contribute to a growing internal knowledge base
- Feed pattern intelligence back upstream to improve prototype quality at the source, collaborating with developers and architects to reduce remediation burden over time
- Stay current on AI-assisted development tooling, emerging failure modes, and production readiness best practices
- Collaboration & Communication
- Partner with application teams, architects, and business stakeholders to align on readiness criteria and timelines
- Communicate technical findings clearly to both engineering and non-technical audiences
- Provide guidance and thought leadership on responsible use of AI development tools within the engineering organization
Skills
- Understanding and hands on full-stack fundamentals across at least one major frontend framework (React, Vue, Angular), backend API development, relational data modeling, and authentication systems
- Proficiency in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and at least one additional backend language
- Solid understanding of RESTful API design, database schema design, and ORM patterns
- Experience with version control discipline, branching strategies, and code review processes
- Ability to identify AI-generated code failure modes: hardcoded credentials, hallucinated libraries, flat schemas, checkbox tests, missing error handling, and over-reliance on happy-path logic
- Practical experience evaluating AI tool output for correctness, security, and production viability
- Ability to distinguish between AI tooling as an accelerant versus AI tooling compounding a problem
- Experience implementing or validating secure authentication flows (OAuth 2.0, JWT, session management)
- Understanding of CI/CD pipeline requirements, environment configuration, and secrets management
- Ability to evaluate test quality and replace AI-generated checkbox tests with coverage that reflects real production behavior
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present technical findings to non-technical stakeholders
- Proven ability to work both independently and within cross-functional engineering teams
- Self-starter with strong problem-solving skills and a bias toward documentation and knowledge sharing
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Systems, or a related field; equivalent professional experience considered
- 1+ years of full-stack software development experience
- 1+ years of hands-on experience with AI-augmented development tools in a professional context (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent)
- 1+ years of experience in application security, code review, or production engineering disciplines
- Demonstrated experience identifying and remediating vulnerabilities in production codebases
- Hands-on experience building MCP servers or LLM tool-use integrations
- Hands-on experience building agentic agents in Gemini/Vertex, OpenAI, Claude, or other AI Tools
- Expertise in CI/CD pipelines
- Experience with Kong, Kuma, or comparable API/service mesh tooling
- Exposure to AI-assisted development platforms (Lovable, Cursor, Claude Code)
- Experience with monitoring and observability platforms (Dynatrace)
