Technical Architect

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.

Claude Code is changing how engineering organizations build software and most of them need someone to show them how. Thats you.

Technical Architects help customers get real work done with Claude Code Claude Tag (Claude Code as an agent in Slack) and the enterprise admin controls that decide whether a rollout succeeds. Youll teach customers partners and Anthropics own field teams. Just as important youll train the trainers who carry that knowledge to everyone else.

Were hands-on AI engineers who would rather teach than sell. Youll work alongside customer engineering organizations teaching them about Claude Code and shepherding rollouts with advanced admin knowledge. Most weeks youre in front of an audience with Claude Desktop or a terminal open: thousands of engineers on a public webinar one day a customers platform team in their own conference room the next week office hours in between. The prep material often reaches you the day before.

The team is growing quickly this year scope will grow as new products ship and the people who join now will shape how it works.

• Teach in every format. Take a standing rotation on Anthropics public webinars in front of thousands of engineers at a time. Lead workshops and multi-day onsites in person and virtual built around a customers own codebase and questions. Host office hours and multi-week cohorts where engineers partners and account teams bring live problems.

• Teach the teachers. Run train-the-trainer programs for customer technologists and champions and certify them to deliver Anthropics material.

• Empower admins. Educate enterprise admins on the technical requirements for a strong rollout by guiding them through single sign-on permissions connectors spend controls data-handling policy and other advanced topics.

• Build fast with Claude. Turn a request into a polished deck demo repository or plugin within a day using the tools you teach. Explore new features the day they ship. Pick up a teammates material and deliver it as if you wrote it.

• Bring field signal back to product. Tell the Claude Code Claude Tag and Cowork teams what customers run into specifically enough that they can fix it.

• Be the technical voice in the room. Partner with account executives customer success managers Applied AI Architects support engineers and partner leads.

• Travel. Expect 30 to 50% in bursts around onsites workshops and events.

• 5 years as a software engineer solutions architect developer advocate or similar. You still ship code and regularly teach engineering audiences.

• Current engineering range. Youve shipped code other people depend on. You can go deep with a senior engineer anywhere in the stack. You use Claude Code or a similar agentic tool every day and have opinions about it.

• Big-stage presence. Youve held large live audiences. You sound practiced with material you got that morning and a broken demo doesnt faze you.

• Range in one conversation. You can go from banter to a rigorous design discussion and both feel natural.

• Care for people. You do right by a struggling customer and you wont leave a confused room behind.

• Initiative. You build things without waiting for permission and you say when an idea is half-formed including your managers.

• Steadiness when priorities shift timelines are short and colleagues are under pressure.

• Comfort with ambiguity in a fast-moving industry and product suite.

• A stake in safe AI. You care that large organizations deploy AI responsibly and you want to help them do it.

• You love being on the frontier. You want to work at the edge of whats possible and help define what comes next.

• Depth in enterprise identity and security review (SAML OIDC SCIM SOC 2 HIPAA).

• Experience running Claude on Amazon Bedrock or Google Cloud Vertex AI.

• Time with regulated industries or with systems-integrator partners.

• A public record of technical teaching: talks courses videos or writing.

• An interest outside technology you can talk about with the same energy.

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.

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.
