As an Anthropic Forward Deployed Engineer, you will embed with government and public services clients to identify business needs and rapidly prototype GenAI-enabled solutions using Claude and related Anthropic technologies. You'll build production-quality AI solutions, agentic platforms, and workflows while working independently and collaborating with senior stakeholders to drive measurable business impact. The role requires 4+ years of software/data engineering experience, 1+ years hands-on with GenAI/LLM solutions, and demonstrated expertise with Anthropic's platform technologies including Claude API, tool use, and extended thinking. You'll develop scalable AI patterns, contribute reusable assets, and mentor team members while balancing quality, safety, latency, and cost considerations.

As Principal Software Engineer for AI & Data Platform, you will architect the data foundation for scientific and engineering R&D platforms, designing scalable data processing patterns, ML training pipelines, and intelligent workflow interfaces. You will own end-to-end responsibilities including data modeling for multi-use analytics and ML, building production training and fine-tuning pipelines, model evaluation and benchmarking, and setting engineering standards for the team. The role requires 10+ years shipping production software, expert-level Python, deep experience with large-scale data systems (object storage, analytical processing, training formats), hands-on ML pipeline development, and the ability to set technical direction in early-stage environments while implementing it yourself.
