Overview
Forward Deployed Engineer on Genpact's Applied AI team, embedding with enterprise customers to build and ship production AI applications.
What you'll do
- Work inside customer systems to build production applications with Claude and other frontier models that meet real customer requirements.
- Deliver technical artifacts: agentic workflows, MCP servers, sub-agents, agent skills, evaluation harnesses, and integrations into the client's stack.
- Own a workstream end-to-end: discovery, architecture, build, demo, handoff.
- Make trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality in real time.
- Co-design solutions with client stakeholders at the Director and VP level.
- Provide white-glove deployment support inside enterprise environments.
- Identify and codify repeatable deployment patterns.
- Contribute reusable assets (code, prompts, skills, runbooks, reference implementations) back to the Genpact Applied AI practice.
- Stay current with LLM capabilities, agent frameworks, and the AI product development stack, and bring field insights back to product and partner teams.
What you'll need
- Experience in a technical, customer-facing role such as Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Solutions Architect, or software engineer with consulting experience.
- Daily, hands-on working fluency with Claude (or a comparable frontier LLM) as a build tool, not as a chatbot.
- Production experience with LLMs: advanced prompt engineering, agent development, evaluation frameworks, and deployment at scale.
- Strong programming skills in Python and, ideally, one or more of TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, or SQL.
- Experience shipping production applications, with a track record of shipping something a customer or end-user actually paid for, used, or measured.
- Ability to hold your own in a client conversation with senior stakeholders.
- High agency: comfortable navigating ambiguity in complex organizations and turning vague business problems into concrete technical plans.
- High cooperation mindset: balance competing priorities across customer teams, Genpact delivery, and partners with integrity.
- Required language: English, Proficient (C2).
Nice to have
- Domain depth in a regulated industry: life sciences, financial services, healthcare, or insurance.
- Hands-on experience with MCP, agent frameworks (Claude Code, Cursor, LangGraph, etc.), evaluation tooling, or LLM observability.
- Background in a top-tier product, startup, frontier-lab, or consulting environment, or a credible self-built equivalent.
- Experience operating in hybrid onshore/offshore delivery teams.
- Familiarity with security, privacy, and compliance considerations for enterprise AI deployment.
