About us
SF AI Engineers is a community for builders working with AI. It brings together AI engineers, machine learning practitioners, and software engineers who want to learn from peers and stay close to how AI is built and deployed in production. The focus is high signal conversations, real systems, and shared lessons from the field.
AI Engineers is run by Fonzi. Fonzi is a talent marketplace that connects elite engineers with top AI companies through a monthly, high signal, structured hiring process called Match Day. We run AI Engineers communities in both San Francisco and New York.
If you are interested in speaking at a tech talk in either location, email lauren@fonzi.ai with your LinkedIn profile, the location you want to speak in (NY or SF), and a short abstract on how you are applying or building with AI in your current role. Use the subject line “AI Engineers Abstract Submission”.

SF AI Engineers: OpenClaw Agents, Embeddable AI, Spec-Driven Dev
House of AI, 40 Boardman Pl, San Francisco, CA, USRSVP here
Join us for the March edition of the San Francisco AI Engineers Tech Talk, a gathering focused exclusively on AI engineering. Whether you’re a seasoned machine learning engineer or a fullstack dev curious about how to work with LLMs, this is your space to dive deep into real-world projects, technical challenges, and creative solutions.What to Expect:
We invite AI engineers to share something they’ve built, the challenges they faced, and how they solved them. It’s all substance, no fluff, designed for engineers by engineers.This Month’s Presenters:
- Arndt Vogues, Cofounder @ Purple AI
- Spec-driven development across real multi-repo codebases. Why agents lose context, how subagents and commands restore structure, and what your codebase must change to make AI productive.
- Asish Shubham, Engineering Fellow/ VP @ ThoughtSpot
- Why APIs alone fail in enterprise settings and how embeddable UI becomes the layer that turns AI into a usable product feature. Expect architectural patterns drawn from deployments inside Fortune 500 applications.
- James Andrew Walsh, CEO @ Amplify Luxury
- OpenClaw agents used to generate high-fidelity luxury interior design models. A structured agent workflow handling complex creative constraints and producing production-grade outputs
The Crowd:
You’ll be joining a mix of software developers, data scientists, AI engineers, and technical founders working at or curious about the future of applying AI at the application layer. It’s a casual, high-signal environment perfect for learning something new and meeting peers in the SF AI Engineering scene.Agenda:
