Manager, Forward Deployed Engineering

10+ years of experience in software engineering, solutions architecture, or a technical customer-facing role such as forward deployed engineering or consulting.

2+ years of people management experience within a services/post-sales/FDE organization with a track record of hiring, developing, and retaining strong engineers.

Experience working directly with enterprise customers on technical implementations, including comfort navigating complex organizational dynamics.

Executive presence with the ability to move fluidly between strategic conversations with senior stakeholders and hands-on debugging sessions with engineers.

You can translate technical complexity into clear narratives for diverse audiences.

Anthropic is building the Applied AI team to help the world's most ambitious organizations adopt Claude in ways that are transformative, safe, and lasting.

Our Forward Deployed Engineers embed directly with strategic customers to ship production AI applications that solve real business problems.

As this practice grows, we need a founding leader to build and scale it.

As the first FDE Manager, you'll own the team that sits at the frontier of enterprise AI deployment.

You'll hire and develop a high-performing team of FDEs, set the technical and operational bar for customer engagements, and build the playbooks that turn one-off successes into repeatable patterns.

You'll work hand-in-hand with Engagement Managers who own delivery logistics and stakeholder management, while you ensure your team is shipping quality code, growing technically, and representing Anthropic at the highest level in customer environments.

Anthropic's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.
