## Job description

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 — escalate 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 clear 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 environment 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.

## Benefits

- 100% remote work
- Equitable Life - Hybrid Plan
- 100% Premium Coverage for the employee and dependents
- Competitive phantom equity
- Long-Term Disability
- 4% Pension match (employer contribution)
- Unlimited Vacations
- Sick Leave
- Paid Holidays
- Parental Leave
- Paid for exams and certifications
- Peer bonus awards
- State of the art laptop and tools
- Equipment & Office Stipend
- Individual professional development plan
- Annual stipend for Learning and Development
- Work with an amazing worldwide team and in an incredible corporate culture

This role may require up to 50% travel, depending on business needs.

Base Salary Range: The expected base salary range for this position is CAD $150,000 - $235,000 per year, commensurate with experience and qualifications.

Additional Compensation Components: In addition to the base salary, the compensation package may include bonuses, commissions, equity, and other incentives. The specific components will vary depending on the role and individual and/or company performance.

NOTE: We’re unable to provide visa sponsorship now or at any time in the future.

At Caylent, we are committed to fair, transparent, and inclusive hiring practices.
