Description
As an Applied AI Engineer on the Startups team at Anthropic, you will be a trusted technical advisor helping the top AI-native startups build on the Claude Developer Platform as they grow from early product to scale. You'll lead deep technical engagements, partnering directly with startup engineering teams to help them develop their products on top of Claude—advising on implementation, agent design, and working alongside them to build at the frontier of AI.
Working closely with Applied AI Architects, Account Executives, and Anthropic's Product and Engineering teams, you'll guide startups through deep technical engagements. You'll leverage your AI engineering expertise to develop custom evaluation frameworks, design scalable architectures, and create the technical resources that enable startups to succeed with Claude.
You will serve as a deep technical advisor to high-potential startups, working alongside them to build innovative use cases that push the boundaries of AI. You will work hands-on with startup engineering teams: pair programming, architecture reviews, and code contributions that accelerate their development.
You will develop prototypes and technical documentation—including evaluation suites, AI engineering techniques, and architecture diagrams—that enable startups to build and scale with Claude. You will collaborate closely with Applied AI Architects to maintain context and continuity across customer engagements.
You will identify patterns across engagements and contribute insights back to Product, Engineering, and the broader Applied AI team. You will create technical content for startup audiences including documentation, tutorials, and sample code. You will foster community engagement through hackathons, webinars, technical office hours, and startup-focused events.
You will travel to customer sites for workshops, implementation support, and relationship building. You will be a builder credibility that earns trust with technical founders and engineering teams—you've shipped products and can speak from experience.
You will have strong technical communication skills with the ability to translate complex AI concepts into architectural decisions and actionable implementation plans. You will have experience facilitating technical workshops, hackathons, or developer-focused events. You will have passion for making powerful technology safe and beneficial.
