Join the team · Hiring Forward Deployed Engineers

    A small team doing outsized work.

    APG builds AI systems for real-world businesses: construction, manufacturing and home services. We stay small on purpose: a handful of A-players using AI to out-deliver teams ten times our size. Right now we’re hiring Forward Deployed Engineers: people who sit with a client, map the work and build it. If you want to own things end to end, keep reading.

    What we look for

    Three skill sets. One rare person.

    Our Forward Deployed Engineers own entire client engagements: discovery, build and delivery. The ideal hire sits where all three meet. Strong on two with a real appetite for the third? Still apply.

    Consulting and discovery You can sit across from a business owner, ask the right questions and map how their business actually works, then turn that into clear processes and priorities.
    Industry software fluency You’ve worked hands-on with the tools SMEs actually run: Xero, QuickBooks, Simpro, ServiceM8, Business Central, Odoo. You know how jobs, quotes, invoices and schedules flow through a business.
    Claude power user You live in the Claude desktop app: scheduled workflows, artifacts, building skills and plugins. This space moves weekly, and you keep up because you genuinely love it.
    Exceptional at something else entirely?We’re building a bench of A-players, not filling one seat. If you’re outstanding at marketing, growth, operations or something we haven’t thought of, record an application anyway and tell us exactly what you’d own.

    How it works

    No cover letters. No hoops.

    01 Answer three quick questions Right here, on video, about five minutes all up. The questions are below so you can think before you hit record.
    02 Adam reviews it personally Every submission is watched by Adam, not a screening bot. You’ll hear back within a couple of days either way.
    03 We talk If there’s a fit, you’ll get a call to go deeper on your experience, what you’d own and the specifics on pay.
    04 Trial month, then ownership Start on real client engagements alongside Adam, with on-site visits included. Prove it, and your base and ownership scale from there.
    Question 1 · up to 90 seconds Introduce yourself. Who are you, whereabouts are you based, and tell us about a time you worked directly with a client or business to improve how they do something. Keep it natural. Any consulting, freelancing or hands-on project counts.
    Question 2 · up to 2 minutes Show us something you’ve actually built with AI. Walk us through a skill, plugin, agent or workflow you made in Claude, what it did, and how you built it. We care about what you’ve genuinely built, not just tools you’ve tried. If it lives at a link, say the link out loud.
    Question 3 · up to 90 seconds Which business systems have you worked with, and what did you do with them? For example ServiceM8, Simpro, Microsoft Business Central, the 365 suite, other ERPs, Xero or QuickBooks. Name the ones you’ve actually used and how. If you’ve worked in or around construction, trades or manufacturing, mention it.
    On pay: a competitive base plus commission on the client outcomes you own. Pay scales with ownership. Exact numbers depend on the role and your experience, and we’ll cover them openly on the call. If you’ve built things with Claude, like skills, plugins or workflows, have them ready to show. It’s the fastest way to stand out.
