Caylent is an AI-first cloud services company that helps organizations turn ambitious ideas into meaningful business impact. As an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner and a charter member of Anthropic’s Claude Partner Network, we combine deep expertise in AWS, artificial intelligence, and Anthropic’s Claude platform to help customers modernize their technology, build intelligent products, and move AI from experimentation into production.

Our capabilities span generative and agentic AI, cloud migration and modernization, cloud-native application development, data and analytics, DevOps, managed services, security and compliance, and customer experience transformation. At Caylent, our people always come first.

We are a fully remote global company with employees in Canada, the United States and Latin America. We celebrate the culture of each of our team members and foster a community of technological curiosity. Come talk to us to learn more about what it means to be a Caylien!

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.

Forward Deployed Engineers live inside client organizations — in their standups, codebases, and architecture decisions. You own your assigned workstreams, deliver production-quality work from day one, and build the independent track record that creates a path to solo account ownership.

We hire into two specializations: Technology-Workforce FDEs embed in engineering, product, and IT organizations building LLM-native production systems; Operational FDEs embed in business functions — Finance, HR, Legal, Supply Chain, and more — building workflow automations and running AI enablement programs for non‑technical teams.

Your Assignment

Own assigned workstreams end-to-end within a larger engagement — your scope is yours to drive, not wait on

Build and ship in client codebases and environments — not in sandboxes

Contribute to discovery sessions, architecture reviews, and stakeholder interviews alongside senior FDEs

Translate ambiguous problems into scoped, deliverable work on your assigned scope

Surface risks and blockers early — elevate intentionally when decisions exceed your scope, not for tactical approval

Transfer capability that lasts: document and hand off working software or automations that stand on their own after you leave

Contribute at least one reusable artifact or pattern back to the practice before each engagement closes

Your Qualifications

2-4 years of software engineering, technical delivery, or business systems experience

Demonstrated ability to self‑direct on assigned scope — managing your own time, priorities, and delivery quality without daily oversight





Hands‑on experience in one or more of: LLM application development, cloud‑native development, backend engineering, or business automation tooling

Strong communicator: technically explicit with engineers, accessible and credible with business stakeholders

High tolerance for ambiguity; starts delivering before every requirement is defined

Preferred Qualifications

Hands‑on experience building with LLM APIs (Claude, AWS Bedrock, or equivalent) — prompt architecture, tool use, basic agent patterns

Familiarity with cloud‑native development (AWS preferred), containerization, or backend systems

Experience with rapid prototyping: taking an ambiguous problem to a working proof‑of‑concept quickly

Background in a consulting firm, systems integrator, or professional services setting a plus

Operational Preferred

Deep fluency in at least one business function: Finance, HR, Legal, Sales Ops, Supply Chain, or Manufacturing

Hands‑on with Zapier, Power Automate, Airtable, or similar business automation tools

Familiarity with enterprise systems: Salesforce, Oracle, D365, Workday, ServiceNow, or equivalent

Experience supporting AI or digital adoption programs for non‑technical audiences

Who Thrives here

You operate without a playbook, earn trust fast, and build things that last. This role works best for people who are energized by figuring things out in motion — day‑to‑day direction comes from you, not a manager. If that sounds like the environment you're looking for, you'll be at home here.

Why This Team

Ground floor of something real: this BU is early, well‑resourced, and anchored to Anthropic — you're writing the playbook, not inheriting one. The work is at the frontier: agents, AI product builds, enterprise adoption at scale. Advancement is tied to delivery performance, not tenure.
