Applied AI Engineer, Enterprise

About the role

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. You will become the go-to Claude Platform specialist and trusted technical advisor for your customers, advising their engineering teams on architecture, agent design, and evaluation, and working with the C-level and senior executives who sponsor these programmes to show the business value Claude can create and help them reach a confident decision to build on Claude.

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.

You will partner closely with Enterprise Account Executives and Applied AI Architects to take each customer from first conversation, through technical evaluation, proof of value and procurement, to the decision to build on Claude. 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.

Responsibilities

• Partner with Enterprise Account Executives and Applied AI Architects to take UK enterprise customers from first conversation, through technical evaluation, proof of value and procurement, to the decision to build on 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
• Guide customers through long, multi-stakeholder procurement, including security and architecture reviews and a clear path to production, navigating security, compliance, data residency and governance requirements (including UK GDPR)
• Feed patterns from enterprise engagements back to Product, Engineering, and the wider Applied AI team, and travel to customer sites across the UK

• Production experience with LLM-powered applications, including prompting, context engineering, agent architectures, evaluation frameworks, and deployment at scale
• Familiarity with enterprise security, compliance, and architecture requirements, ideally in regulated sectors
• The ability to explain complex AI concepts clearly to both technical and executive audiences, and a passion for making powerful technology safe and beneficial
