Uses Claude and agent frameworks for rapid, LLM-driven prototyping and shipping; high emphasis on daily "vibe coding" with frontier models to build production features.
About the Role
Embed with enterprise customers as a Forward Deployed Applied AI Engineer to design, build, and ship production AI applications using Claude and other frontier models. Own end-to-end delivery from discovery through deployment while collaborating with partners and Genpact teams to ensure sustainable solutions.
Job Description
Role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer on Genpact’s Applied AI team, you will embed directly with strategic enterprise customers to turn ambiguous business problems into production AI applications using Claude and other frontier models. You will own a workstream end-to-end: discovery, architecture, build, demo, and handoff, and provide white-glove deployment support inside enterprise environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Build production applications inside customer systems using Claude and other frontier LLMs.
- Deliver technical artifacts such as agentic workflows, MCP servers, sub-agents, agent skills, evaluation harnesses, and integrations.
- Own workstreams end-to-end: discovery, architecture, implementation, demos, and handoff to delivery teams.
- Make real-time trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality and co-design solutions with Director/VP-level stakeholders.
- Provide on-site deployment and support; identify and codify repeatable deployment patterns and contribute reusable assets (code, prompts, runbooks, reference implementations).
- Stay current with LLM capabilities, agent frameworks, evaluation tooling, and bring field insights back to product and partner teams.
Requirements
- 4+ years in a technical, customer-facing role (Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Solutions Architect, or software engineer with consulting experience).
- Daily, hands-on fluency with Claude or a comparable frontier LLM used as a build tool.
- Production experience with LLMs: prompt engineering, agent development, evaluation frameworks, and deployment at scale.
- Track record of shipping production applications or measurable customer-facing work.
- Strong client-facing communication; ability to operate autonomously and navigate ambiguity.
- Familiarity with security, privacy, and compliance considerations for enterprise AI deployment.
Preferred / Nice-to-Have
- Domain depth in regulated industries (life sciences, financial services, healthcare, insurance).
- Hands-on experience with MCP, agent frameworks (Claude Code, Cursor, LangGraph), evaluation tooling, or LLM observability.
- Background in top-tier product/startup/frontier-lab/consulting environments or credible self-built equivalents.
- Experience in hybrid onshore/offshore delivery teams.
Interview Process
- Initial conversation with hiring manager (45 min).
- Portfolio walkthrough (45 min) demonstrating recent work with Claude or comparable models.
- Live build exercise (90 min) — pair-build or take-home using Claude.
- Client simulation with senior delivery and simulated stakeholder.
- Final conversations with practice leadership.
Location & Travel
- Hybrid role with significant on-site presence; the posting references Bangalore and also notes a US-based hybrid model. Expect 25-50% travel to client sites and Genpact delivery centers.
