Applied AI Field Engineer (Salt Lake City)

Trilon is building a supercharged, technology-enabled future for our people and partners. The Applied AI Engineer plays a critical role in that mission by building the AI-powered features that enable our tools to compress real engineering labor across our operating companies. 

This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and applied AI, focused on designing and implementing the intelligence layer of our products. You translate product requirements and architectural patterns into working AI capabilities by building prompt frameworks, retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, and agent-based workflows that operate against real engineering data and deliverables. 

Working within a product pod, you partner closely with the Lead Engineer, Software Engineer, and QA Engineer to deliver production-ready solutions. You own how the system reasons, including prompt design, context management, model integration, and orchestration logic. You also help define how quality is measured for AI outputs, ensuring tools are accurate, reliable, and usable in real-world workflows. 

You will engage directly with engineers across our operating companies to understand workflows, validate solutions, and iterate quickly based on feedback. You may also participate in field-based project hackathons, embedding with teams to identify high-impact opportunities and rapidly prototype solutions that inform platform development. 

This role requires strong software engineering fundamentals, deep hands-on experience with modern AI tooling, and the ability to operate in a fast-moving environment where both the technology and the product are evolving. You are comfortable with ambiguity, rigorous about output quality, and focused on delivering AI that engineers trust and use.
