 * 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

## Description

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
