Forward Deployed Engineer (AI Practice)

Greenlight helps organizations solve complex business challenges through intelligent automation, agentic AI, and custom technology solutions.   Our teams work directly with clients to understand their operations, identify opportunities, and rapidly build solutions that create measurable business value. We combine deep consulting expertise with hands-on engineering to bridge the gap between strategy and execution.   We’re building a future where consultants and engineers work alongside AI to deliver faster outcomes, stronger businesses, and transformative customer experiences. Anthropic’s Claude is embedded across how we design, build, and validate solutions - and this role is at the technical frontier of that capability.   What makes a star at Greenlight? ·       Builder's instinct, architect's discipline ·       The most technically credible person in the room ·       AI-native at depth - you know how LLMs fail and build around it ·       Client-embedded, not arm's length ·       Commercially aware - scope, economics, outcomes The Role The Forward Deployed Engineer is Greenlight’s most senior technical delivery role. You design, build, and operationalize AI agent workflows and intelligent automation solutions - embedded directly in client environments, working alongside their teams to deliver production-grade solutions that create measurable business outcomes.   This is not a back-office engineering role. You will be in client discovery sessions, presenting architectures to IT leadership, deploying AI agents against real enterprise systems, and building the reusable skills and accelerators that make Greenlight faster and more differentiated on every subsequent engagement. You are expected to be the most technically credible person in the room - combining deep AI fluency with the consulting presence of a senior practitioner.   You work at the frontier of agentic AI - designing and building Claude-powered solutions, connecting AI agents to enterprise systems through MCP integrations, and producing the technical documentation that the delivery team and the client can both stand behind. The platform is Anthropic Claude. The problem space is complex, regulated, and high-stakes. The bar is production-grade.
