Role Description This is a remote position. We are seeking a highly proactive and AI-driven Full-Stack Developer to join an early-stage product team building a modern software platform for the waste hauling and logistics industry. This is a zero-to-one opportunity, where the selected candidate will directly influence product direction, architecture, and scalability. You will work closely with leadership and a technical stakeholder, contributing across the entire lifecycle—from product discovery and architecture design to deployment and optimization. This role requires a builder mindset, not just execution, with strong ownership and the ability to challenge ideas, identify risks, and propose better solutions. The ideal candidate is passionate about coding, experienced in modern development practices, and comfortable working in an AI-first environment, leveraging tools like Cursor, Claude, or similar while maintaining strong core engineering fundamentals. - Architect and build a scalable, modular web application from scratch using modern frameworks (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript) - Design and implement REST APIs and webhook systems for integration with third-party tools (CRM, billing, logistics systems, etc.) - Develop AI-powered features to improve workflows, automation, and user experience - Collaborate in product discovery and help identify edge cases, technical gaps, and optimization opportunities - Contribute to market and workflow understanding to support product development decisions - Own the full development lifecycle, including deployment, testing, monitoring, and CI/CD - Build a flexible and extensible system that can support future integrations and product expansion - Participate in pair programming sessions (~10%) to review work, share knowledge, and align with stakeholders - Evaluate and recommend technologies, tools, and architectures based on best fit, not familiarity Qualifications - Minimum 3+ years of full-stack development experience - Proven experience building and deploying at least one production-level application - Minimum 1 year of experience using AI tools in development workflows - Strong understanding of system design, APIs, and scalable architecture - Experience working in fast-paced environments with evolving requirements - Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical decisions clearly - Ability to take ownership and work independently without constant supervision - Strong critical thinking and willingness to challenge ideas constructively - Curiosity to explore different solutions before choosing a tech stack - Passion for coding beyond work (side projects, experimentation, etc.) - Builder mentality (experience creating products vs. only maintaining/debugging) Requirements - Next.js - TypeScript - REST API development and webhook architecture - AI API integrations (Claude, OpenAI, or similar) - AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) - Database management (PostgreSQL, Supabase, or equivalent) - CI/CD pipelines and deployment (Vercel, Railway, or similar) - System architecture and modular design Nice to have - Experience in B2B SaaS environments - Experience in logistics, field service, or fleet management software - Stripe or billing system integrations - OAuth and multi-tenant authentication - Experience with AI agents or advanced automation workflows

• Own and drive internal business efficiency • Execute with ownership of Stord's enterprise systems • Build a forward-deployed engineering and product team • Own governance for data domains that matter most.

Role Description As an AI Engagement Lead at forgd, you will own the full lifecycle of AI transformation engagements that reshape how enterprises build software and run their businesses. You are the single accountable lead, from scoping through closure and expansion. This is not a traditional project management or post-sales handoff role—you will be a strategic partner who drives measurable AI transformation outcomes alongside our Applied AI Architects, serving as the single point of contact for customer sponsors and executives. You will manage concurrent engagements across our offering portfolio, ensuring every engagement delivers demonstrable value, drives lasting adoption of Claude within the customer's organisation, and builds the delivery practices that scale forgd's impact. You will lead scoping and SOW authoring with GTM, coordinate teams of 1–5 Applied AI Architects during delivery, and build the templates, methodologies, and operational infrastructure that define how forgd delivers. Responsibilities - Own end-to-end delivery of AI transformation engagements as the single accountable lead, from first scoping conversation through SOW, kickoff, execution, closure, and expansion, ensuring alignment with client objectives and forgd's standards of excellence. - Translate ambiguous inputs (customer decks, proposal drafts, discovery notes, scoping conversations) into structured engagement plans the architect team can deliver against. - Manage engagement scope, timeline, budget, resource allocation, and stakeholder communication to ensure on-time, high-quality delivery. - Partner with Anthropic's customer success and account teams to coordinate on shared customers—ensuring forgd engagements translate into sustained Claude activation and usage growth. - Drive expansion within the accounts you own. - Build relationships with customer stakeholders from individual contributors to engineering leadership. - Lead scoping, pricing, and SOW authoring for new opportunities with GTM; translate stated customer needs into a priced, sequenced engagement plan the architect team can execute against. - Establish forgd's delivery framework: create templates, methodologies, and processes that scale our ability to deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes—this is a founding role where your contributions directly shape how we work and grow. - Travel to customer sites (10–20%) for workshops, milestones, and relationship building. What Success Looks Like - Customers move from proof-of-value to production adoption with sustained Claude usage growth. - Engineering teams you've supported measurably change how they build software. - Strong customer satisfaction, referenceable outcomes, and working relationships with Anthropic account teams. - Trusted relationships within accounts that compound into expansion. - Engagements move cleanly across the lifecycle from scoping through expansion. Qualifications - 6+ years of engagement management or technology consulting experience, ideally in a single-threaded engagement-lead model where one person owns the customer from scoping through closure. - Strong track record carrying enterprise engagements end-to-end. - Proven ability to build and scale delivery processes—you've created the playbooks, not just followed them. - Passion for the future of software development and genuine excitement about how AI changes the craft of engineering. - Experience managing executive client relationships with excellent communication skills across technical and business audiences. - Exceptionally high agency; able to operate autonomously in complex, evolving environments. - Technical fluency—you can engage credibly with engineers and understand AI/ML concepts. Benefits - Work at the frontier: Partner directly with Anthropic on customer engagements. - High-impact work: Help engineering organisations transform how they build software—production-bound systems with real constraints, not innovation theatre. - Founding team opportunity: Join as a founding team member where your contributions directly shape how we work and grow. - Competitive salary and benefits. - Remote flexibility.
