Job description
From Nimble Gravity’s job post, as they wrote it.
About Nimble Gravity:
We’re a data, AI and digital engineering consultancy. Certified across Microsoft, Anthropic, and Databricks, we turn AI ambition into working systems for leaders who need results, not roadmaps.
We're looking for a hands-on engineering leader who is as comfortable in a client workshop as in a pull request. You'll build and coach a team that turns ambiguous business problems into working AI systems in production. You'll also spot where the next phase of work lives.
Read the full description
Key Responsibilities
* Lead the team: Hire, coach, and grow forward deployed engineers. Set a high bar for technical quality, client communication, and ownership.
* Own delivery: Be accountable for scope, quality, timelines, and outcomes across multiple concurrent client engagements.
* Be the technical voice with clients: Run demos, architecture sessions, and delivery workshops that show clients what Claude Code and Claude Cowork can do in their environment.
* Build alongside the team: Stay close to the code. Prototype, review designs, and unblock the team on agentic workflows, tool use, MCP integrations, and evaluation.
* Find the next phase: Spot expansion opportunities in the work and partner with account leadership to shape and scope them.
* Establish repeatable practices: Build reusable patterns, accelerators, and playbooks so every engagement starts further ahead than the last.
* Collaborate across the business: Work with data, cloud, and digital engineering teams to deliver end-to-end outcomes.
What We're Looking For
Required
* 15+ years in software engineering, with 5+ years leading engineers or technical teams.
* Experience in client-facing delivery: consulting, solutions engineering, or forward deployed work.
* Hands-on experience building with LLMs and agentic patterns, including tool use, RAG, workflow orchestration, and evaluation.
* Strong Python or TypeScript skills, plus solid API design, CI/CD, and cloud fundamentals (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
* Proven ability to explain complex technical ideas clearly to executives and engineers alike.
* A track record of taking ambiguous problems to production.
Preferred
* Hands-on experience with Claude Code, Claude Cowork, the Anthropic API, or the Model Context Protocol.
* Experience with AI governance, security, and responsible-use practices in enterprise settings.
* Background in data science or formal engineering training.
* Experience in a consulting or professional services environment.
Core Qualities
* Ownership: You take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks.
* Curiosity and courage: You ask the real questions and challenge assumptions, politely but firmly.
* Coaching mindset: You grow people and share credit.
* Adaptability: You're comfortable when the tools change monthly.
* Pragmatism: You ship what works.
