Applied AI Architect
Forgd | Remote — United Kingdom | Full-time
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 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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
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

- 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.
