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

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." You'll be the technical partner our CSMs pull into the room whenever the work gets technical — and at our customers, that's most of the time.

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

We're looking for technologists who could have been researchers or staff engineers, but who get the most energy from helping other people get unstuck and teaching them something real along the way.

What you'll 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.
• Own enterprise deployment and identity conversations: SSO (SAML/OIDC), SCIM provisioning, role and seat 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 provisioned seats into daily active developers, for audiences ranging from senior staff engineers to business users new to AI.
• Partner tightly with CSMs as their technical counterpart, and with Applied AI, Product Support, Engineering, and Sales as the connective technical tissue of the account.

What we're looking for

• You build. You've shipped real software, you've used Claude Code or comparable AI coding tools yourself, and you can stand behind your engineering choices.
• You hold the room. You're 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. You'd rather be pulled into an ambiguous customer situation and figure it out than own a clean, narrow lane.
• You're service-oriented. Helping a colleague or a customer get unstuck is the part of the day you look forward to.

What you'll learn

• How Claude is served. We'll 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 customer's engineering and security teams through it at whatever depth the conversation and our agreements allow. You don't need this knowledge coming in; you do need the curiosity to go get it.

Nice to have

• Hands-on depth with enterprise identity (SAML, OIDC, SCIM) and security review processes.
• Experience running on or supporting Bedrock / Vertex / multi-cloud LLM deployments.
• A track record of public technical communication — talks, workshops, courses, writing.
• Time spent in a post-sales, support, implementation, or technical account role.

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.
