About the role

  • Chainguard is becoming an AI company, and we're hiring an AI Solutions Engineer to make that real in the daily work of every team.

Responsibilities

  • Identify and prioritize the workflows where AI can deliver outsized impact, weighing impact potential against feasibility, and focus on opportunities that can materially bend the revenue/opex curve.
  • Prototype and validate: Take prioritized use cases from idea to working prototype - internal workflow automations, reusable prompt systems and templates, AI-enabled tools and assistants, and early workflow integrations - to test whether an opportunity is worth broader investment.
  • Partner across the business: Work directly with functional owners, the AI Enablement Council, and AI Ambassadors to understand real workflow needs, validate selected opportunities, and build the business case and evidence base needed to inform investment decisions.
  • Build responsibly: Build and test using approved tools and established Legal and Security review pathways.
  • Validate outputs, ensure clear human review, and maintain strong data hygiene.
  • Make it visible and reusable: Document what you built, the problem it solves, and what you learned.
  • Set the standard for internal AI building: Model responsible, high-quality AI building so that what you prototype can be handed off, scaled, and maintained by the functional experts who own the workflow.
  • Applied AI tooling: Hands-on experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor) in real work, and building on top of LLM APIs - tool/function calling, agents, prompt and context engineering, RAG, and patterns like MCP.
  • By delivering hardened, secure, and production-ready builds of all the open source software engineers and AI agents rely on, Chainguard helps organizations build faster, stay compliant, and eliminate risk.

Requirements

  • Development: Programming proficiency in at least one language, with strong preference for Go and/or Python.
  • From idea to adoption: A track record of turning internal workflow ideas into tools that teams actually adopt.
  • Cross-functional background: Experience in internal consulting, solutions engineering, or forward-deployed/applied roles.
  • Programming proficiency in at least one language, with strong preference for Go and/or Python.

Skills

  • No AI tool is used on Chainguard, customer, or personal data until it has cleared review.
  • A track record of turning internal workflow ideas into tools that teams actually adopt.

Compensation

  • $121,000 - $142,000 USD
