About forgd

forgd is a preferred Anthropic Partner. We help enterprises adopt Claude, Anthropic's AI platform, deeply and sustainably: from initial onboarding and org-wide enablement through build-heavy technical engagements where we co-build agentic applications alongside our customers.

Our customers span engineering-led technology companies, regulated financial services, healthcare organizations, and large enterprises across North America. We're a small team (~20 people), remote-first, and growing fast. The work is customer-facing, technically demanding, and genuinely novel — there is no playbook yet, and we're writing it in real time.

We call our delivery model co-work. We don't build things for our customers. We build alongside them, teaching them to think, design, and ship with Claude as their primary development and productivity platform. That distinction — coach and co-creator, not outsourcer — defines everything about how we show up.

About the Role

As an Applied AI Architect, 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

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
• 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
