About Anthropic

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the role:

As a member of the Applied AI team at Anthropic, you will be a technical Product Engineer focused on becoming a trusted technical advisor to Digital Native Businesses - technology companies adopting the Claude API into their core products. You will work closely with customer product and engineering teams as they ship new products powered by Claude: advising on architecture design decisions, developing evaluation frameworks, and guiding customers through the most cutting-edge implementation patterns for LLMs.

Working closely with our Sales, Product, and Engineering teams, you'll guide a focused portfolio of customers from technical discovery through successful deployment. You'll combine deep engineering expertise with customer-facing skills to help customers unlock the full potential of Claude APIs and move their products closer to the frontier, while maintaining our high standards for safety and reliability.

Responsibilities:

  • Serve as a specialist technical advisor to Anthropic customers as they deploy new products & workflows with our models: from discovery through deployment, coordinating internally across multiple teams to drive customer success
  • Partner with account executives and solutions architects to translate customer business requirements into technical solutions
  • Influence technical architecture decisions and customer product strategy by developing customized pilots, prototypes, and evaluation suites
  • Lead hands-on technical workshops and code reviews with customer engineering teams
  • Identify common design patterns and contribute insights back to our Product and Engineering teams
  • Create scalable public and internal assets, documenting the latest LLM prompting, evaling, agentic, and architecture techniques
  • Maintain strong knowledge of the latest developments in LLM capabilities, implementation patterns, and AI product development stacks
  • Travel occasionally to customer sites for workshops, implementation support, and building relationships
  • Attend conferences, lead speaking engagements, write blog posts and white papers on topics surrounding the AI space

You may be a good fit if you have:

  • 4+ years of experience in technical roles such as Forward Deployed Engineer, Software Engineer or Technical Product Manager with a desire to work closely with customers. Former technical founders are also encouraged to apply.
  • Production experience with LLMs including advanced prompt engineering, agent development and frameworks, evaluation frameworks, transcript analysis, MCP, and deployment at scale
  • Strong programming skills with proficiency in Python or TypeScript and experience building production applications
  • Ability to navigate ambiguity and execute across domains with intellectual openness, finding simple solutions to complex problems
  • High cooperation mindset for cross-organizational collaboration, balancing competing priorities with integrity
  • Passion for advancing safe, beneficial AI systems through creative technical applications
  • Exceptional communication skills to convey technical concepts to diverse stakeholders while maintaining a low ego and collaborative approach

Please note this role requires 3 days in office per week. 

Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. 

The annual compensation range for this role is listed below. 

For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.

Annual Salary:
$200,000$320,000 USD

Logistics

Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience

Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed.  Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.

How we're different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.

Come work with us!

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
