About the role

Technical Instructor Lead in New York to deliver hands-on technical instruction, develop instructors, run train-the-trainer programs, and raise instructional quality across Anthropic’s onboarding, residency, and enablement programs.

Responsibilities

  • Deliver hands-on technical instruction across onboarding, residency, and technical enablement programs, in person in New York and remotely across European time zones.
  • Model excellent technical teaching for audiences ranging from small, interactive labs to 100+ technical practitioners, adapting to different levels of experience and technical depth.
  • Run train-the-trainer programs for internal experts, contract instructors, and training partners, using Anthropic’s practice-teach, feedback, and certification processes.
  • Coach and calibrate instructors through live and recorded observations, actionable feedback, and recommendations on readiness to teach specific content.
  • Partner with technical experts to turn subject matter expertise into effective sessions, labs, exercises, and demonstrations, and improve content based on what happens in the room.
  • Own instructional quality in assigned programs, staffing yourself and cleared instructors into East Coast program calendars and ensuring delivery meets Anthropic’s standards.
  • Use learner and instructor data to identify gaps in instruction and recommend improvements to curriculum, delivery, and instructor development.
  • Help evolve Anthropic’s technical instruction function, bringing your experience from the room into our standards, instructor development practices, and approach to scaling quality.

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of relevant professional experience across software engineering, solutions engineering, developer advocacy, technical education, or another technically deep role.
  • 3+ years of hands-on technical instruction, including teaching engineers in live environments both in person and remotely.
  • Production engineering experience. You have written and shipped production software and can engage credibly with experienced engineers on architecture, implementation, debugging, and technical tradeoffs.
  • Recent hands-on AI development. Within the past three years, you have built or debugged applications using LLM APIs, agents, tool use, MCP, or related technologies.
  • Instructor development experience. You have helped other instructors or technical presenters improve through observation, structured feedback, practice teaching, or train-the-trainer programs.
  • New York City location or willingness to relocate. You will work from our NYC office whenever an instructor-led program is in session there, typically around three days per week. The role includes approximately 25% travel to San Francisco and, over time, Europe.
