Job Description
We're building a company that will de-risk the largest infrastructure build-out in history by creating a liquid market for GPU offtake. The Tooling Team is a small team focused on making SFCompute engineering faster, more observable, and more reliable. We're looking for an Applied AI Engineer to own how AI works for our engineering team, auditing how we use tools like Claude Code, identifying areas for improvement, and fixing it by writing better skills, rules, and prompts; by improving the context we give AI about our codebase; by changing the workflows that aren't working.
Requirements
- Deep familiarity with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar), not just as a user but as someone who has thought carefully about why they work or don't
- Strong writing skills. Prompts and documentation are core outputs of this role.
- Engineering background or strong technical fluency. You need to understand the code and workflows you're improving.
- Systems thinker. You look for root causes, not just symptoms.

- Competitive salary
