Anthropic is hiring a 'Claude Evangelist' — and it pays up to $315,000

Anthropic is on the lookout for a dedicated individual to champion its AI platform, Claude. The company has announced an opening for the position of 'Applied AI Claude Evangelist,' aimed at helping startups integrate Anthropic's innovative products into their operations. This role is set to establish the Evangelist as a prominent representative of Anthropic, engaging with venture capitalists, startup founders, and accelerator programs. Responsibilities include onboarding developers, crafting engaging demos and tutorials, and providing essential feedback to the internal team. A notable aspect of the job is the organization of live events, with one key task being to design and facilitate interactive technical sessions that transform developers from mere enthusiasts into active builders in a single day. Candidates are expected to have a minimum of seven years of experience, ideally with a background as a technical founder or in a startup environment. The position offers an impressive annual salary ranging from $240,000 to $315,000, making it an attractive opportunity for those looking to make a significant impact in the AI realm. While the term 'Evangelist' may seem unconventional at first, it has become increasingly common within the tech industry, with numerous companies adopting similar roles. For instance, Apple has previously employed a 'chief evangelist,' and this trend is mirrored in the rise of new job titles emerging from the AI boom, such as 'Forward Deployed AI Accelerator' at Stripe. In a broader context, the AI sector has seen discussions intertwining technology and spirituality, with figures like former Google engineer Anthony Levandowski establishing an AI church. Recently, both Anthropic and OpenAI engaged with religious leaders in a roundtable focused on instilling ethical principles in AI systems. For aspiring candidates, the role at Anthropic demands not just technical prowess but also the ability to captivate an audience, as the job listing emphasizes the importance of commanding a room.
