Forward Deployed Engineer - Claude

Role Overview We are building a specialist Forward-Deployed Engineering capability focused on Claude and enterprise Agentic AI . Forward-Deployed Engineers operate at the intersection of customer problems, product and engineering . You will work directly with enterprise customers to identify high-value opportunities for Claude, rapidly prove what is possible and turn successful prototypes into robust production solutions. This is not a traditional consulting or delivery role. You will be a hands-on engineer embedded close to the customer , responsible for how complex problems are technically solved. What You'll Do * Work directly with customers to understand complex business and technical problems * Lead technical discovery and identify where Claude can deliver meaningful value * Rapidly prototype and validate solutions using Claude * Design and build agentic AI applications and workflows * Use Claude Code and AI-native software development practices to accelerate engineering * Design solution architectures integrating Claude with enterprise applications, APIs and data * Build and productionise LLM applications using techniques including tool use, MCP, RAG and structured outputs * Design robust evaluation and testing frameworks for AI systems * Take solutions from proof-of-concept through to secure, scalable production deployments * Diagnose and solve complex technical problems during customer engagements * Work alongside customer engineering teams, Anthropic and internal engagement leads * Capture successful approaches as repeatable engineering patterns and accelerators * Feed technical insights and customer requirements back into the wider engineering organisation and Anthropic ecosystem What We're Looking For * Excellent hands-on software engineering capability * Strong Python and/or TypeScript engineering skills * Experience building production applications using Claude or other frontier LLMs * Strong understanding of agentic architectures, tool calling, context engineering and LLM application design * Experience rapidly taking ambiguous business problems from discovery → prototype → production * Strong API, integration and enterprise architecture experience * Experience deploying applications into AWS, Azure or GCP * Understanding of AI evaluation, testing, observability, security and production reliability * Ability to work directly with customers and communicate complex technical concepts clearly * Comfortable working in highly ambiguous, fast-moving environments Particularly Valuable * Deep Anthropic Claude experience * Claude Code experience * Model Context Protocol (MCP) experience * Building and deploying sophisticated AI agents * Claude through Amazon Bedrock or Google Vertex AI * AI-native software development / SDLC experience * Enterprise integration experience * Previous experience as a Forward-Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Founding Engineer or customer-facing Software Engineer
