Technical Architect

About Anthropic

Anthropics 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

Anthropic is hiring Technical Architects: hands-on builders and live technical communicators who help our customers go from we bought Claude to our people use it every day. Youll be the technical partner our CSMs pull into the room whenever the work gets technical. For our customers thats most of the time.

One week youre running an advanced Claude Code hackathon for 1000 engineers at a global bank. The next youre on a call with their CISO walking through data handling SSO and governance controls. The week after youre pair-building a plugin with a customers platform team and debugging a SCIM sync live while thirty people watch. You are the helper people look for.

This is a post-sale role. Youll work alongside CSMs Applied AI Support FDEs and more.

Were looking for technologists who could have been researchers or staff engineers but who get the most energy from helping customers get unstuck by teaching them something new.

What youll do

• Be the technical lead in customer-facing moments across the post-sale journey: onboarding workshops developer hackathons live troubleshooting executive security reviews adoption working sessions.
• Build and ship working software (Claude Code plugins agents sub-agents MCP integrations Cowork skills) both as customer deliverables and as reusable field assets.
• Drive adoption of the Claude Code capabilities that make the product stick (sub-agents skills hooks MCP headless mode managed settings) and turn new capabilities into field-ready demos and guides within days of release.
• Own enterprise deployment and identity conversations: SSO (SAML/OIDC) SCIM provisioning role seat and spend-limit management sandbox and permission design. Sit credibly across from CISOs and security architects.
• Advise and unblock customers running production workloads on the Anthropic API and on Bedrock / Vertex in close partnership with Applied AI.
• Teach. Design and deliver enablement that turns users into daily active developers for audiences ranging from senior staff engineers to business users new to AI and develop the customer champions who carry adoption after you leave the room.
• Represent Anthropic at customer all-hands and builder events and bring structured field signal back to the Claude Code and Cowork product teams.
• Partner tightly with CSMs as their technical counterpart and with Applied AI security specialists Product Support Engineering and Sales as the connective technical tissue of the account.

What were looking for

• You build. Youve shipped real software youve used Claude Code or comparable AI coding tools yourself and you can stand behind your engineering choices.
• You hold the room. Youre at ease being the technical voice in front of senior developers IT and security leaders and non-technical stakeholders (often in the same hour) and you stay calm and useful when something breaks live.
• You like the messy middle. Youre comfortable being pulled into an ambiguous customer situation and developing a solution in real time.
• Youre service-oriented. Helping a colleague or a customer get unstuck is the part of the day you look forward to.
• You can travel. Expect regular on-site time with customers.
• You think about responsible use. Youve built with LLMs hands-on and you have an instinct for how they should be used responsibly and effectively inside organizations of all shapes and sizes.

What youll learn

• How Claude is served. Well teach you the service delivery side of Anthropic - how inference runs behind the API and Claude Code and what drives capacity latency and reliability - so you can walk a customers engineering and security teams through it at whatever depth the conversation and our agreements allow.

Nice to have

• Hands-on depth with enterprise identity (SAML OIDC SCIM) across major IdPs (Okta Entra ID Ping Google Workspace etc.) and with security review processes (SOC 2 ISO 27001 HIPAA FedRAMP).
• Experience running on or supporting Bedrock / Vertex / multi-cloud LLM deployments.
• Experience with regulated customers (financial services healthcare public sector) and delivering alongside SI/GSI partners.
• A track record of public technical communication: YouTube TikTok Instagram blogs in-person talks workshops courses writing seminars.
• Time spent in a pre-sales solutions post-sales support implementation or technical account role.

How were 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. Were 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.
