About forgd

forgd is the consultancy partnering exclusively with Anthropic to help enterprises build

AI-native businesses. We start with engineering — helping organizations move from

individual developers using Claude Code to entire teams shipping together with AI-native

workflows — and expand into agentic solution delivery and broader business

transformation.

Our conviction is that engineers are uniquely positioned to lead this transformation. The

strongest mental model for designing, deploying, and governing AI agents in production

lives in software engineering. The teams that change how their organization builds

software are the same teams equipped to shepherd the rest of the business into this new

world.

We embed and co-build with customer teams. Cycles are short, delivery is iterative and

accountable to clear outcome goals.

About the Role

As an Applied AI Architect, you embed with enterprise customers and own the technical

work across the full customer journey — initial demos, short proof-of-value engagements,

and multi-week implementations. The work moves customers from interesting prototypes

to production capability.

Most engagements start in engineering. You'll work with customer engineering teams

adopting Claude Code and redesigning their SDLC — code review, requirements, testing,

documentation, and governance. From there, the work expands: co-building agentic

applications and modernizing legacy systems on the Claude developer platform, and

partnering with business stakeholders to deploy agents into core operations like sales,

customer service, and finance.

You're the expert in the room on how engineers work with Claude Code, what an agentic

application looks like in production, and what has to change in an organization to sustain

either. You build prototypes, ship code, run workshops, write specs, and make the calls

that move customers from demos to deployment.

Collaborate directly with Anthropic on customer engagements — joint working sessions,

early access to product changes, and a direct line to their product and engineering teams.
