Applied AI Engineer, Beneficial Deployments (Lab Automation)

Job summary

Responsibilities

We're looking for an Applied AI Engineer to join our Beneficial Deployments, Life Sciences team. Our goal is for Claude to close the loop on scientific discovery, and a significant part of this is helping Claude to drive scientific hardware and software.

• Work with labs to automate their experiments end-to-end with Claude - from advising, to prototyping, to writing production code.
• Drive product, engineering and research direction based on field experience - e.g. building evals to measure limitations of our models in the physical world (capabilities and…
• Scale your impact to the long tail of labs through reusable cookbooks, documentation, and other assets.
• Be an EMEA ambassador for Claude in the lab - you’ll both inspire and build trust with scientific audiences, from small settings to large conferences.
• This role will require significant travel

What they're looking for

• Hands-on experience connecting software to lab robots and instruments (liquid handlers, plate readers, scheduling software, LIMS), ideally in an automated lab.
• Strong engineering skills: you can take an LLM-powered tool from prototype to production code, and write evals to measure its performance.
• A scientist's instinct for how experiments work: you can spot what's worth automating, and where AI might fail or be unsafe in the physical world.
• Experience working directly with external customers or partners in a technical role.
• Clear written and verbal communication: you’ll write docs other labs can use without you and give talks that inspire and earn researchers' trust.
