You will collaborate closely with customer teams to ship advanced AI applications that solve real-world business problems. Our FDEs engage with customers to accelerate the adoption of existing products and create new applications built on our models.

Working closely with our Post-Sales, Product, and Engineering teams, you'll combine engineering expertise, an understanding of frontier AI applications, and customer-facing skills to understand customer workflows and develop innovative solutions that address complex business challenges while maintaining our high standards for safety and reliability.

You will sit at the frontier of government AI deployments and serve as one of our founding FDEs who helps to shape our forward-deployed motion. We expect our FDEs to operate autonomously, thrive under ambiguity, and represent Anthropic at the highest level in customer environments.

• Deliver technical artifacts for customers like MCP servers, sub-agents, and agent skills that will be used in production workflows.

• Provide white-glove deployment support for Anthropic products in federal government environments.

• Identify and codify repeatable deployment patterns and contribute insights back to our Product and Engineering teams.

• Maintain strong knowledge of the latest developments in LLM capabilities, implementation patterns, and AI product development stacks.

• Build long-term relationships with customers and proactively identify new opportunities for AI deployment throughout the lifecycle of an engagement.

• Travel frequently (25-50%) to customer sites to build in-person with customers.

• Be a champion for Anthropic’s mission in the field.

Requirements:

• Security clearance not required, but a plus

• Must have prior experience working with US federal civilian, state, or local agencies

• 4+ years of experience in a technical, customer-facing role such as Forward Deployed Engineer, or as a Software Engineer with consulting experience. Former technical founders are also encouraged to apply.

• Production experience with LLMs including advanced prompt engineering, agent development, evaluation frameworks, and deployment at scale.

• Strong programming skills with proficiency in Python (and ideally in one or more additional languages like TypeScript, Java, etc) and experience shipping production applications

• High agency with an ability to navigate ambiguity present in complex organizations.

• High cooperation mindset for cross-organizational collaboration, balancing competing priorities with integrity.

• Passion for advancing safe, beneficial AI systems through creative technical applications.

• Strong communication skills to conduct discovery with customers and to convey technical concepts to diverse stakeholders while maintaining a low ego and collaborative approach.

• Experience with government IT systems and/or AI deployment patterns is a plus.

Benefits:

• Annual compensation range: $280,000-$320,000 USD

• Competitive compensation and benefits

• Optional equity donation matching

• Generous vacation and parental leave

• Flexible working hours

• Lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues

Logistics

• Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
• Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
• Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
• We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work.
• Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before you start working with us.
