The listing
About Nimble Gravity:
We’re a data, AI and digital engineering consultancy. Certified across Microsoft, Anthropic, and Databricks, we turn AI ambition into working systems for leaders who need results, not roadmaps.
We're looking for a hands-on engineering leader who is as comfortable in a client workshop as in a pull request. You'll build and coach a team that turns ambiguous business problems into working AI systems in production. You'll also spot where the next phase of work lives.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the team: Hire, coach, and grow forward deployed engineers. Set a high bar for technical quality, client communication, and ownership.
- Own delivery: Be accountable for scope, quality, timelines, and outcomes across multiple concurrent client engagements.
- Be the technical voice with clients: Run demos, architecture sessions, and delivery workshops that show clients what Claude Code and Claude Cowork can do in their environment.
- Build alongside the team: Stay close to the code. Prototype, review designs, and unblock the team on agentic workflows, tool use, MCP integrations, and evaluation.
- Find the next phase: Spot expansion opportunities in the work and partner with account leadership to shape and scope them.
- Establish repeatable practices: Build reusable patterns, accelerators, and playbooks so every engagement starts further ahead than the last.
- Collaborate across the business: Work with data, cloud, and digital engineering teams to deliver end-to-end outcomes.
What We're Looking For
Required
- 15+ years in software engineering, with 5+ years leading engineers or technical teams.
- Experience in client-facing delivery: consulting, solutions engineering, or forward deployed work.
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs and agentic patterns, including tool use, RAG, workflow orchestration, and evaluation.
- Strong Python or TypeScript skills, plus solid API design, CI/CD, and cloud fundamentals (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
- Proven ability to explain complex technical ideas clearly to executives and engineers alike.
- A track record of taking ambiguous problems to production.
Preferred
- Hands-on experience with Claude Code, Claude Cowork, the Anthropic API, or the Model Context Protocol.
- Experience with AI governance, security, and responsible-use practices in enterprise settings.
- Background in data science or formal engineering training.
- Experience in a consulting or professional services environment.
Core Qualities
- Ownership: You take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks.
- Curiosity and courage: You ask the real questions and challenge assumptions, politely but firmly.
- Coaching mindset: You grow people and share credit.
- Adaptability: You're comfortable when the tools change monthly.
- Pragmatism: You ship what works.
