## Description

Bounteous is a global AI Services firm where agentic engineering and human experience converge to deliver transformative business outcomes for the enterprise.

The Lead Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) is the senior technical anchor for Bounteous client engagements built on Claude. You embed with client teams, find the workflows where agents change business outcomes, and ship governed, production-grade agentic systems on Anthropic's stack.

**Key Responsibilities**

- **Technical Leadership & Architecture**: Own the end-to-end technical design of agentic solutions on Claude, from discovery and workflow mapping through production rollout and continuous improvement.

- **Delivery & Engineering Excellence**: Lead and mentor engineers across geographies, including Context Engineers, Evaluation Engineers, and Orchestration Architects, through an AI development lifecycle.

- **Client & Stakeholder Engagement**: Embed with client engineering, platform, and business teams as their primary technical point of contact, including on-site when the work calls for it.

**Required Skills & Experience**

- 8+ years in software engineering and solution architecture, with significant client-facing or forward-deployed delivery.

- A track record of shipping LLM-based agents to production (not only prototypes), ideally on Claude.

- Hands-on depth with the Claude API, the Claude Agent SDK, and MCP server development.

- Daily fluency with Claude Code and agentic coding practices.

- Strong prompt and context engineering: system prompts, tool descriptions, and skills that hold up against messy enterprise data.

- Experience designing evaluation frameworks and using them to drive engineering decisions.

- Proficiency in Python and TypeScript, modern backend architecture, and cloud deployment (AWS preferred).

- Enterprise data integration experience, including when to use retrieval-augmented generation versus agentic search over live systems.

- A strong grasp of agent governance, security, observability, and risk controls.

- Experience leading teams in complex, regulated enterprise environments.

**Preferred Qualifications**

- Anthropic certification, such as Claude Certified Architect (Foundations or Professional).

- Prior experience in BFSI or other regulated industries.

- Production experience with Claude Managed Agents or multiagent orchestration.

- Claude deployments on AWS, including IAM, network isolation, and data residency requirements.

- Experience rolling out Claude Enterprise or Claude Cowork with admin-managed skills and plugins.

- Experience in global, distributed delivery models.

- Contributions to the MCP or Agent Skills ecosystems, or other open-source work.
