The Mission
Caylent's Anthropic Business Unit is a dedicated AI services practice built in partnership with Anthropic — Anthropic's first pure-play delivery partner. Engagements are production-grade: agents, data products, AI-augmented operations, workforce transformation.
Senior FDEs run their own accounts — full relationship, from discovery through close, without anyone above managing the engagement. You scope, architect, build, and close. You are the account.
We hire into two specializations: Technology-Workforce FDEs run solo technical engagements in engineering and IT organizations, owning architecture decisions and LLM-native delivery end-to-end; Operational FDEs lead single-function AI adoption programs across business workforces — persona discovery, role-specific enablement, and workflow automations deployed and owned by you.
Your Assignment
- Own the full client relationship on your account from discovery through close
- Make architecture and build decisions appropriate to the client's environment and constraints; stand behind them
- Run discovery, architecture reviews, and stakeholder interviews independently; translate ambiguous problems into scoped, deliverable work
- Identify scope creep and manage it — surface risks before they become problems
- Identify and surface expansion opportunities
- Transfer capability that lasts: documented, runnable, maintainable software or automations that work after you leave
- Contribute IP back to the practice after every engagement: patterns, templates, and reusable components
Your Qualifications
- 5+ years of engineering or technical delivery experience with meaningful time in embedded or client-facing contexts
- Proven solo account delivery: evidence you've owned a client relationship from kickoff through close without supervision
- Hands-on depth in one or more of: LLM application development, cloud-native architecture (AWS preferred), backend systems at scale, or enterprise business automation
- Demonstrated ability to make independent technical decisions and manage your own delivery quality inside client environments
- Strong communicator: technically precise with engineers, clear and confident with VP-level leadership; adjusts depth without losing accuracy
- High tolerance for ambiguity; consistently delivers value before all requirements are defined
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building production AI systems: RAG pipelines, agents, fine-tuned models, or LLM-native applications
- Hands-on with Claude, AWS Bedrock, or equivalent — model parameters, prompt architecture, tool use
- Background in a consulting firm, systems integrator, or professional services environment
- Familiarity with SOW-based delivery and scope management
- AWS certifications: Solutions Architect Professional, DevOps Engineer Professional, or equivalent
Operational Preferred
- Background in management consulting, enterprise SaaS implementation, or a business function you know deeply from the inside
- Experience designing and running AI enablement programs for non-technical business audiences
- Hands-on with Zapier, Power Automate, Airtable, or similar; familiarity with enterprise systems like Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow
- Track record working cross-functionally — comfortable in Finance and Legal and Operations in the same engagement
Who Thrives here
You carry an account without daily check-ins, read tension in a client org before it surfaces, and bring expansion signals forward without being asked. This role is structured around full account ownership — people who do well here are energized by that autonomy and accountability.
Why This Team
The work is at the frontier — agents, AI product builds, enterprise adoption — and you own the outcomes, not just the hours. Autonomy with backing: minimal oversight in the field, a strong technical bench behind you when the problem warrants it. Advancement tied to delivery performance and expansion generation, not tenure.
