Director, Forward Deployed Engineering

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. 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 W
