About forgd
forgd is the consultancy partnering exclusively with Anthropic to help enterprises build AI-native businesses. We start with engineering — helping organizations move from individual developers using Claude Code to entire teams shipping together with AI-native workflows — and expand into agentic solution delivery and broader business transformation.
Our conviction is that engineers are uniquely positioned to lead this transformation. The strongest mental model for designing, deploying, and governing AI agents in production lives in software engineering. The teams that change how their organization builds software are the same teams equipped to shepherd the rest of the business into this new world.
We embed and co-build with customer teams. Cycles are short, delivery is iterative and accountable to clear outcome goals.
About the Role
As an FDE, you embed with enterprise customers and own the technical work across the full customer journey — initial demos, short proof-of-value engagements, and multi-week implementations. The work moves customers from interesting prototypes to production capability.
Most engagements start in engineering. You'll work with customer engineering teams adopting Claude Code and redesigning their SDLC — code review, requirements, testing, documentation, and governance. From there, the work expands: co-building agentic applications and modernizing legacy systems on the Claude developer platform, and partnering with business stakeholders to deploy agents into core operations like sales, customer service, and finance.
You're the expert in the room on how engineers work with Claude Code, what an agentic application looks like in production, and what has to change in an organization to sustain either. You build prototypes, ship code, run workshops, write specs, and make the calls that move customers from demos to deployment.
Collaborate directly with Anthropic on customer engagements — joint working sessions, early access to product changes, and a direct line to their product and engineering teams.
Responsibilities
Enable
Lead Claude Code Labs and customer workshops
Take customer teams from beginner to power user across Claude Code, Claude for Work, Cowork, and the developer platform
Codify deployment patterns and feed them back to forgd's methodology and Anthropic's product teams
Transform
Lead discovery into customer environments — engineering toolchains and workflows, business operations, and organizational dynamics — and turn that into clear technical plans
Advise on how AI-native development changes existing engineering practices: issue management, branching, testing, code review, and security
Guide adoption programs that scale Claude across engineering organizations and into business teams
Build
Scope engagements: assumptions, risks, milestones, and dependencies
Embed with customer teams to co-build agentic applications on the Claude developer platform
Build technical artifacts — evaluation frameworks, MCP servers, sub-agents, and deployment configurations — tailored to the customer's stack
What Success Looks Like
Customers move from proof-of-value to production
Engineering teams measurably change how they ship software
Customers become references
Accounts expand on the strength of the work
You May Be a Good Fit If You Have
3–5 years in a customer-facing technical role — Solutions Architect, Sales Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, Technical Consultant — or in a hands-on engineering role as a Software Engineer or Product Engineer
Software development experience in a high-scale startup or enterprise environment; you know what it takes to write, ship, and operate production code
Production experience with LLMs — prompt engineering, agent design, and evaluation frameworks.
Power user of Claude Code or equivalent AI coding assistants; you live in AI-native development yourself
Familiarity with enterprise development toolchains, CI/CD, and modern SDLC practices, and cloud-native deployment on AWS, GCP, or Azure
Communication skills that work across the room — individual contributors, engineering leadership, and business stakeholders
High agency and comfort with ambiguity; you operate autonomously in customer environments
Nice to Have
Background in professional services or consulting
Track record leading developer productivity or developer experience at scale
Vertical experience in financial services, healthcare, or other regulated industries
Experience driving organizational change
What We Offer
Work at the frontier: Direct partnership with Anthropic — joint engagements, early access to product changes, and working sessions with their Applied AI team
Founding team: You shape how we work and grow as we scale
Remote: Fully remote across North American and European time zones
Compensation and benefits: Competitive salary, equity, and full benefits
How to Apply
We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification. Research shows people from underrepresented groups often hesitate unless they meet every requirement, and we don't want you to exclude yourself prematurely. If you're excited about AI-native engineering and want to help enterprises change how they build software, we'd love to hear from you.
