In the posting’s own words
You'll help decide what these products are, not just how they're built — the product questions are as open as the architecture ones — and you'll see your work land with real teams at the world's largest enterprises.
What it asks for · 6
- Have 8+ years of software engineering experience, ideally with 2+ years at a Staff or equivalent technical leadership level
- Have led the design and delivery of complex customer-facing products across the full stack
- Have built AI products and know what it takes to turn model capabilities into applications people actually use
- Are comfortable working directly with enterprise customers and translating what you learn into technical decisions
- Have built products from 0 to 1 in fast-moving environments, and can set technical direction with limited precedent to lean on
- Drive cross-team alignment to ship impactful work, with influence over authority
Also a plus
- Experience working with research to improve domain-specific model capabilities, including evaluation frameworks
- Experience as startup founders or early-stage employees
What the job covers
- Own technical design and delivery for enterprise-facing core products, end-to-end across the stack
- Partner with product, design, and go-to-market to turn enterprise customer workflows into shipped product, not just execute against a spec
- Set technical direction and standards for your team: architecture, code quality, and how the team builds
- Work directly with enterprise customers and sales during key conversations, translating what you learn into engineering priorities
- Work closely with research to make the models better in your domain: shaping evals, surfacing failure modes, and feeding customer learnings back into model development
- Mentor other engineers and raise the technical bar across the team, working with influence rather than authority
- Build the core primitives that enable knowledge workers across industries and roles to meaningfully leverage Claude
