- Document and share best practices for LLM prompting, evaluation, agentic workflows, and architecture design
- Create demo environments and technical proof-of-concepts that showcase Claude's capabilities
- Conduct technical discovery calls to understand customer requirements and development workflows
- Help customers design scalable architectures and develop evaluation frameworks for their AI implementations
- Provide technical troubleshooting and implementation support during customer evaluations
- Work alongside Solutions Architects and Product Engineers on complex technical requirements in sales cycles
- Partner with Forward Deployed Engineers on post-deployment optimization and expansion opportunities
- Synthesize technical feedback from customer interactions to inform product roadmap
- Rotate through different Applied AI segments over the 6-month program, gaining exposure to various customer profiles and use cases

About Anthropic
Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems. How we're different We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills. The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
