Our teams work directly with clients to understand their operations, identify opportunities, and rapidly build solutions that create measurable business value. We combine deep consulting expertise with hands-on engineering to bridge the gap between strategy and execution. We’re building a future where consultants and engineers work alongside AI to deliver faster outcomes, stronger businesses, and transformative customer experiences. Anthropic’s Claude is embedded across how we design, build, and validate solutions - and this role is at the technical frontier of that capability. ### What makes a star at Greenlight? ### · Builder's instinct, architect's discipline ### · The most technically credible person in the room ### · AI-native at depth - you know how LLMs fail and build around it ### · Client-embedded, not arm's length ### · Commercially aware - scope, economics, outcomes ### The Role The Forward Deployed Engineer is Greenlight’s most senior technical delivery role. You design, build, and operationalize AI agent workflows and intelligent automation solutions - embedded directly in client environments, working alongside their teams to deliver production-grade solutions that create measurable business outcomes. This is not a back-office engineering role. You will be in client discovery sessions, presenting architectures to IT leadership, deploying AI agents against real enterprise systems, and building the reusable skills and accelerators that make Greenlight faster and more differentiated on every subsequent engagement. You are expected to be the most technically credible person in the room - combining deep AI fluency with the consulting presence of a senior practitioner. You work at the frontier of agentic AI - designing and building Claude-powered solutions, connecting AI agents to enterprise systems through MCP integrations, and producing the technical documentation that the delivery team and the client can both stand behind. The platform is Anthropic Claude. The problem space is complex, regulated, and high-stakes. The bar is production-grade. ### At a Glance ### Reports To AI Practice Lead ### Works Closely With Pre-Sales SE, Automation Business Consultant, AI Delivery Engagement Manager ### Client Interaction Yes — C-suite, IT architects, operations leaders, technical teams ### Travel Requirement Regular client travel required — discovery, workshops, POC delivery, go-live ### Platform Focus Anthropic Claude (Cowork + Skills), MCP, Python / Node.js, REST APIs ### Seniority Intermediate 3-5 year’s experience ### Location Onshore Canada — Toronto preferred ### Engagement Type Hybrid — onsite client-facing with remote delivery phases ### What You’ll Do ### Solution Architecture & Technical Discovery - Lead technical discovery workshops with C-suite, IT architects, and operations leaders - identifying high-value AI automation opportunities and translating complex operational workflows into executable solution architectures - Design end-to-end AI agent architectures using Anthropic’s Claude platform (Cowork and Skills framework), aligned to client infrastructure, security requirements, and compliance constraints - Translate business requirements into agent-based automation blueprints: what the AI owns, what stays human, how exceptions route, and how the two coordinate - Assess the right solution architecture for each use case - knowing when a Claude agent is the answer, when a procode integration is cleaner, and when a simpler rules-based approach is more appropriate than AI - Present technical architectures to executive and non-technical audiences with clarity, confidence, and the credibility that comes from having built things like this before ### AI Agent Build & Delivery - Engineer production-ready AI agent workflows using Claude Cowork and the Skills framework - built to a standard that holds up in regulated, enterprise production environments - Develop and configure Claude Skills: structured instruction sets, templates, validation rules, and reference documents that encode client-specific processes and quality standards into repeatable AI agent behaviour --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
