About the role
We're looking for an Associate to join our Applied AI team in a rotational program designed to develop the next generation of technical leaders in AI.

You'll collaborate closely with Solutions Architects, Product Engineers, and Forward Deployed Engineers on complex customer problems while also partnering with Account Executives to support sales cycles.
Responsibilities
Build production-ready agents, Skills, and solutions using Claude's SDK and API
Develop scalable internal and customer-facing technical assets (code examples, architectures, integration patterns)
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

Comfort presenting technical concepts and adapting communication style for different audiences
Strong problem-solving skills with ability to debug issues and troubleshoot technical challenges
