The Role
AI is overhauling how software gets built. As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), you are the technical and commercial anchor for our expansion into the US market. Based in New York, you will help establish Indicium AI's presence in the US by embedding directly within tier-one client engineering organizations to transform their developer experience, modernize SDLC workflows, and co-engineer production systems. Flexible remote work is supported during build-focused and off-client periods.
This is a player-coach role requiring hands-on engineering mastery, executive credibility with CTOs and VPs of Engineering, and the commercial instinct to turn initial delivery wins into expanded US accounts. While you lead client engagements, you are never on an island: you are backed by specialized delivery pods, direct leadership access, and deep technical integration with Anthropic field teams.
What You Will Do
- Lead AI-Native Transformation: Audit enterprise workflows and design target architectures leveraging Anthropic models, Claude Code, custom MCP servers, agentic tooling, and automated CI/CD pipelines.
- Co-Engineer in Production: Embed alongside client teams and Anthropic technical teams to refactor codebases and roll out AI-augmented practices directly in live pipelines.
- Establish & Scale US Accounts: Serve as the trusted technical partner for US executive stakeholders, driving local market growth by using successful delivery to spot new high-value enterprise problems.
- Scale Practice Playbooks: Codify patterns, tools, and best practices from US engagements to expand Indicium AI's global playbook and mentor client champion developers.
What We Are Looking For
- Proven Scope of Ownership: Track record of independently owning complex technical delivery and influencing executive stakeholders (CTOs, VPs of Engineering).
- Hands-On Production Depth: Strong background shipping production systems in Python, TypeScript, or Java across modern cloud stacks (AWS, Azure, GCP).
- AI-Native Fluent: Active daily user of tools like Claude Code, Copilot, or agentic frameworks.
- Commercial Mindset: Ability to identify high-value enterprise problems, establish trusted client relationships, and help drive US market expansion.
- Accelerators: Domain depth in Financial Services, Energy, or Healthcare; hands-on MCP server development; or prior experience in DevEx / FDE roles.
