Responsibilities
- Partner with account executives to deeply understand customer requirements and translate them into technical solutions, ensuring alignment between business objectives and technical implementation
- Serve as the primary technical advisor to customers throughout their Claude adoption journey, from discovery to initial evaluation through deployment, coordinating internally across multiple teams
- Support customers building with the Claude API, Claude Code, and Claude for Enterprise
- Ship working code. Build prototypes and proof-of-concepts hands-on, develop eval frameworks, and write near-production examples that customers can extend
- Build reusable blueprints, demos, and enablement assets that scale across customers
- Guide technical architecture decisions and help customers integrate Claude effectively into their existing technology stack
- Help customers develop evaluation frameworks to measure Claude's performance for their specific use cases

Qualifications
- 3+ years of highly technical experience as a software engineer (or equivalent) with some customer-facing exposure, OR 3+ years as a Solutions Architect, Sales Engineer, or Technical Account Manager with strong hands-on building experience
- A builder identity. You've shipped real software, you have technical taste, and you care about the craft of what you build
- A systems mindset. When you see a problem, your instinct is to ask "how do I make this reusable." You'd rather build one thing that serves ten customers than ten things that serve one each
- Strong coding ability. You ship prototypes regularly and can work in a real codebase, not just notebooks. Comfort with Python expected
- Strong ability to build trust with technical stakeholders and adjust your communication for varied audiences
- Strong technical communication skills with the ability to translate customer requirements between technical and business stakeholders
- Experience designing scalable cloud architectures and integrating with enterprise systems
- Familiarity with common LLM frameworks and tools, or a background in machine learning or data science
- Comfort operating in early-stage, ambiguous environments where the playbook doesn't exist yet, and a track record of building structure as you go
- Excitement for engaging in cross-organizational collaboration, working through trade-offs, and balancing competing priorities
- A love of teaching, mentoring, and helping others succeed
- Passion for thinking creatively about how to use technology in a way that is safe and beneficial, and ultimately furthers the goal of advancing safe AI systems
