AI Engineer

1Sphere is pioneering AI transformation for the Fortune 500. Founded by Sanjay Jeyakumar (previously Co‑founder/CTO at Abnormal AI, now valued at $5B+, securing 25%+ of the Fortune 500), 1Sphere builds custom AI workflows for Fortune 500 enterprises—delivering in 90 days what takes competitors 18+ months. We’re the AI software factory, embedding elite AI talent, purpose‑built tooling, and proven processes directly into SAP, Salesforce, Workday, and ServiceNow systems.

No rip‑and‑replace. We’re assembling the core team in the SF Bay Area and ship production AI solutions from week one. AI Engineer Be 1Sphere's AI orchestration expert.

You'll experiment deeply with Claude Code, build reusable AI patterns, and shape our core orchestration architecture. Rapid learning, competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and fully covered healthcare. What You'll Own Claude Code Mastery: Become the team’s Claude Code expert through extensive experimentation.

Master skills, subagents, tools, and hooks—understand deeply when to apply each pattern and why. Document learnings and share with the team and Anthropic. Orchestrator Architecture: Build and refine AI orchestrators as RPC for realtime decisioning.

Establish patterns the entire platform uses. Design for latency, error handling, observability, and testing in AI systems. Experimentation Culture: Constantly test Claude Code boundaries, push capabilities, discover what's possible.

Create reusable orchestration patterns and templates that accelerate platform development. Be at the frontier. Your First 90 Days Become the team’s Claude Code expert through extensive hands‑on experimentation.

Build 3–5 production orchestrators demonstrating different patterns (skills vs. subagents vs. tools vs. hooks). Create an orchestration playbook: when to use which pattern, with working examples and decision trees. Present weekly learnings to the team, showing what you discovered about AI orchestration.

What We're Looking For Must Have: Hands‑on Claude Code experience (actively experimented, not just used Claude chat; can show skills/subagents/tools you've built and articulate trade‑offs). Systems thinking for AI (understands orchestrators as RPC for realtime decisioning; thinks about latency, error handling, observability, testing). Tinkerer mentality (constantly experimenting, pushing boundaries, documenting what works/doesn’t; excited to be at the frontier of AI orchestration).

Nice to Have: Contributed to Claude Code skills or shared orchestration patterns publicly. Backend engineering experience (understands APIs, async patterns, error handling). Experience with other AI orchestration frameworks (LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI) for comparison.

Why This Role is Unprecedented Shape the Future of AI Development: AI orchestration is the new infrastructure layer. You'll define patterns that become industry standards. This expertise doesn't exist yet—you'll help create it.

Direct Access to Frontier: Work with Anthropic's latest capabilities before most engineers know they exist. Your experiments inform both our product and Anthropic's roadmap. Become Irreplaceable: In 18 months, you'll be one of ~100 people globally with deep AI orchestration expertise.

This knowledge compounds—every company building with AI will need what you know. About 1Sphere Most AI transformations stall in slide decks and endless migrations. At 1Sphere, we break the cycle—shipping real enterprise AI solutions in 90‑day sprints, delivering tangible outcomes for Fortune 500 giants like SAP, Salesforce, Workday, and ServiceNow.

Founded by the former co‑founder and CTO of Abnormal Security (trusted by 25%+ of Fortune 500), we’re not just riding the AI wave—we’re building the infrastructure that powers it. Compensation & Benefits Competitive salary + meaningful equity. Medical/dental/vision covered at 100% for employee and dependents.

SF Bay Area headquarters (in‑person – building culture and velocity requires proximity). Equal Opportunity 1Sphere is an equal‑opportunity employer. We value learning speed, ownership, and kindness above all.

We welcome applicants of all backgrounds. How to Apply Resume highlighting AI/ML work. Cover letter addressing: “What’s the most interesting thing you’ve discovered about Claude Code?” Link to Claude Code experiments, GitHub, or orchestration patterns you've built.
