Forward Deployed Engineer, Agentic Adoption​/Remote

At Tribe, we're on a mission to help enterprises rearchitect their business with AI. Today, every large enterprise wants to transform its business with AI — but they often lack the capabilities to do so. At Tribe, this gap is our opportunity.

About the Role

You'll be embedded directly with client engineering teams — in their codebases, in their standups, in their friction. Your job is to close the activation gap: run discovery on how engineering actually works today, identify where existing SDLC processes break when you introduce coding agents, and rewire how teams deliver software. Delivering change by building together and teaching by example.

Key Responsibilities

Client Delivery

Work alongside clients in their codebases, demonstrating agentic workflows in context

Pair with individual engineers to help them cross the threshold from "I tried it" to "this has changed how I work every day"

Teach by doing, making codebases agent-friendly with rules files, custom skills, MCPs, etc.

Discovery & Workflow Redesign

Run discovery with engineering leadership to map where the real workflow friction is — not where they think it is

Identify how existing SDLC processes break when you introduce coding agents — QA bottlenecks, poorly scoped requirements, review debt — and redesign them

Scope and deliver upskilling programmes built around the client's stack and culture, not generic content

Practice Building

Document what's working and feed it back to the practice — you're helping build the playbook, not just running it

Identify repeatable patterns across engagements and contribute to how Tribe scales this service

About You

You've genuinely reorganised how you work around agentic coding tools — Claude Code or Codex is your daily driver, and you can articulate specifically what changed

You've spent meaningful time inside large engineering organisations (100+ engineers) and understand why enterprise moves the way it does

You have consulting or consulting-adjacent experience, or have led developer productivity/DX from the inside at an AI-forward company

You find the enterprise transformation problem genuinely interesting, not a necessary evil

You get energy from bringing the whole room up two levels — not just the engineers who are already excited

Why Join Us

Impact: Be at the frontier of how enterprises actually adopt agentic coding — not in theory, in real codebases with real constraints

Timing: This is the year it happens. Enterprise AI adoption is the defining challenge for our partners right now, and Tribe is uniquely positioned to lead it

Variety: Work across industries, stacks, and organizational cultures — no two engagements look the same

Practice: Help build something from the ground up — the frameworks, playbooks, and patterns that define how this work gets done at scale

Team: Work alongside people who have reorganized how they work around these tools and are serious about what comes next
