About the job

About Indicium AI

Indicium AI stands as a pioneering partner of Anthropic in Europe, being among the select organizations globally entrusted to implement Claude at an enterprise scale. We were also one of the first four partners of OpenAI in the UK, and Databricks Ventures has invested in our initiatives, holding a position on our board. Our engineering teams are equipped with cutting-edge AI tools and models, alongside unique access to technical teams of partners and early previews of capabilities unavailable to the broader market.

We specialize in deploying production AI systems within the most intricate organizations across sectors such as Financial Services, Energy, and Healthcare. Our mission is to transform AI into a tangible competitive edge for our clients, focusing on real-world implementations.

The Role

Software engineering is undergoing a profound transformation driven by AI. Organizations that swiftly adopt AI-native development practices, integrating Claude Code within their engineering teams, embedding agents in their Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), and establishing new frameworks for collaboration between engineers and AI tools, will secure a significant competitive advantage. While most enterprises recognize this shift, few possess the leadership necessary to drive these changes effectively.

This role is a high-level technical leadership position dedicated to establishing and expanding our Forward Deployed Software Engineering practice in the U. S. You will take full ownership of the practice, from ensuring the quality of engagements and developing scalable playbooks to building your team and fostering relationships with clients and partners. We seek a lifelong software engineer passionate about the disruption AI brings to their field, ideally someone who has previously served in CTO or VP Engineering roles and is eager to shape the future of software engineering.

In this position, you will collaborate directly with senior client engineering leaders, partner teams from Anthropic, and the leadership at Indicium AI to steer the direction of our software engineering transformation initiatives.

What You Will Do

  • Lead, recruit, and nurture a high-performance team of Forward Deployed Software Engineers, establishing rigorous standards for engineering excellence, client engagement, and delivery quality.
  • Define and refine Indicium AI's approach to engineering transformation, focusing on Claude Code adoption, agentic SDLC tooling, engineering operating frameworks, team configurations, and scalable best practices.
  • Oversee the technical and operational standards for software engineering engagements by reviewing Statements of Work (SOWs) and shaping engagement strategies.

Our engineers have exclusive access to state-of-the-art AI tools and practices, empowering us to deliver transformative solutions that enhance our clients' competitive standing in their respective industries.
