Applied AI Engineer (Enterprise)

• As an Applied AI Engineer on our Enterprise team, your role is to guide some of the UK’s largest businesses to the frontier of AI and help them deploy Claude into their operations, their products, and their ways of working

• Enterprise deals are different
• Procurement cycles are longer, more stakeholders are involved, and success depends on being able to connect the technical work to the outcomes the boardroom cares about
• You will be as comfortable advising an engineering team on evaluation and architecture as you are presenting a value case to a CIO or CTO, and you will carry the technical thread across every stage of a multi-quarter engagement

• Once they have decided, you set their systems integration partner up to deliver, agreeing the target architecture and what good looks like, and you stay close as the customer’s technical advisor on Claude throughout deployment, while the partner does the build
• Working alongside Anthropic’s Product and Engineering teams, you will use your knowledge of the Claude Platform to advise on evaluation, recommend architectures that meet enterprise security and scale requirements, and create the technical and business resources that help large organisations succeed with Claude

• Lead the technical side of each opportunity, then remain the customer’s technical advisor on Claude as they deploy
• Set customers and their systems integration partners up to deliver: agree the target architecture, define what good looks like, and advise the delivery team as the build progresses
• Help customer engineering teams see how they would build on Claude, covering architecture, agent design and evaluation
• Build and present the business value case for Claude to C-level and senior executives, linking technical capabilities to measurable outcomes such as cost, revenue, risk, and time to market
