About the job
As a member of the Applied AI team at Anthropic, you will be a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) who embeds directly with our most strategic customers to drive transformational AI adoption. You will collaborate closely with customer teams to ship advanced AI applications that solve real world business problems. Our FDEs engage with customers to accelerate the adoption of existing products and create new applications built on our models. Working closely with our Post-Sales, Product, and Engineering teams, you'll combine engineering expertise, an understanding of frontier AI applications, and customer-facing skills to understand customer workflows and develop innovative solutions that address complex business challenges while maintaining our high standards for safety and reliability. You will sit at the frontier of enterprise AI deployments and serve as one of our founding FDEs who helps to shape our forward-deployed motion. We expect our FDEs to operate autonomously, thrive under ambiguity, and represent Anthropic at the highest level in customer environments. This is a significant responsibility: you’ll play a key role in championing our mission in the enterprise.

- Production experience with LLMs, including advanced prompt engineering, agent development, evaluation frameworks, and large-scale deployment.
- Strong programming skills, proficient in Python and ideally other languages like TypeScript or Java.
- Experience shipping production applications.
- High agency and ability to navigate ambiguity in complex organizations.
- Strong cooperation mindset for cross-organizational collaboration, balancing priorities with integrity.
