## About the role

As an Applied AI Research Engineer, you will discover what Anthropic's models and products can do, prove it with real customers, and equip the rest of Applied AI to sell and deliver it. You'll embed with product teams to build deep expertise on new capabilities as they develop, and serve as a critical feedback loop carrying field reality back to Product and Research so that what we build next reflects what customers actually need.

## What they're looking for

- 6+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, Technical Product Manager, Forward Deployed Engineer, AI startup founder, or similar technical role -- ideally with some exposure to customers or end users
- A track record of going deep on technical problems and then translating what you learned into materials, training, or tools that helped others succeed
- Strong technical aptitude with strong proficiency in at least one programming language
- Meaningful experience building with large language models -- whether shipping LLM-powered products, developing agents or workflows, or integrating models into production systems
- Experience designing evals, building prototypes, or developing technical enablement for complex products
- The ability to quickly build domain expertise in new product areas and become a credible technical voice on new topics
