Role Overview
We are building a specialist Forward-Deployed Engineering capability focused on Claude and enterprise Agentic AI.
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
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.
What We're Looking For
- Excellent hands-on software engineering capability
- Strong Python and/or TypeScript engineering skills
- Experience building production applications using Claude or other frontier LLMs
- Strong understanding of agentic architectures, tool calling, context engineering and LLM application design
- Experience rapidly taking ambiguous business problems from discovery → prototype → production
- Strong API, integration and enterprise architecture experience
- Experience deploying applications into AWS, Azure or GCP
- Understanding of AI evaluation, testing, observability, security and production reliability
- Ability to work directly with customers and communicate complex technical concepts clearly
- Comfortable working in highly ambiguous, fast-moving environments
