About the job
About Indicium AI
Indicium AI stands as a pioneering partner of Anthropic in Europe, being one of the select organizations globally entrusted to deploy Claude at an enterprise level. We were also among the initial four OpenAI partners in the UK, with Databricks Ventures investing in our growth and holding a board seat. Our engineering teams leverage cutting-edge AI tools, collaborate with partner technical teams, and gain early access to capabilities not available to the broader market.
We specialize in deploying production AI systems within some of the world's most intricate organizations across sectors like Financial Services, Energy, and Healthcare. Our mission is to transform AI into a genuine competitive edge for our clients, focusing on real-world implementation rather than just presentations.
The Role
As AI reshapes the landscape of software engineering, organizations that swiftly adopt AI-native development practices, integrating Claude Code across their engineering teams, embedding agents in their software development lifecycle, and innovating operational models for synergistic collaboration between engineers and AI tools, will gain a significant competitive advantage. While many enterprises recognize this imperative, only a few possess the leadership necessary to actualize it.
This senior technical leadership position will be at the helm of our Forward Deployed Software Engineering practice. Reporting directly to the CTO, you will lead a team of Forward Deployed Software Engineers who will integrate with client engineering teams, revolutionizing their software development processes in the age of AI.
You will oversee the practice comprehensively, ensuring the quality of client engagements, developing scalable playbooks, building an exceptional team, and nurturing relationships with clients and partners. This role is designed for a passionate, seasoned software engineer, ideally with experience in CTO or VP Engineering roles, who is eager to explore how AI is transforming the discipline they have dedicated their career to.
In this capacity, you will collaborate directly with senior client engineering leaders, partner teams from Anthropic, and Indicium AI leadership to shape the future of our software engineering transformation practice.
What You Will Do
- Lead, recruit, and nurture a high-performing team of Forward Deployed Software Engineers, establishing a high standard for engineering excellence, client engagement, and delivery quality.
- Define and refine Indicium AI's approach to AI-native engineering transformation, encompassing Claude Code adoption, agentic SDLC tooling, innovative engineering operating models, and team structuring.
