Careers
Be in the room where AI actually lands
Enterprises have committed to Anthropic. The hard part is everything after that, inside a business with real processes, real constraints, and people who have watched transformation programmes come and go. That is the job. You sit with them, work out how the company actually runs, and build the Claude agents that change it.
What It's Like Here
Kowalah is early-stage, and that's the point. Small team, building from scratch, your work matters from day one.
You'll be in the room with clients, building solutions alongside their people, seeing impact within weeks, not quarters. No hiding behind process or waiting for approval.
We use AI in our own delivery, not just for clients. Our project management, risk monitoring, and reporting all run on AI agents we've built ourselves. You won't just talk about AI-native operations, you'll live them.
What We Look For
Business Acumen
You care about how companies actually work, grow, and create value. You think about go-to-market, revenue, organisational change, and what makes the difference between a strategy that sits on a shelf and one that moves the needle.
AI Expertise
You have reached for AI on real work, not just read about it. You did it before anyone asked you to, and you formed opinions about what works. We are Anthropic-led, so Claude is where you go deep.
Human Connection
You want to be in the room. Client sites, team dinners, real conversations. AI is the tool, humans are the point. You build relationships that last because you show up, listen, and genuinely care.
The sweet spot is the centre. We call the people who live there Kowalahs. Two out of three makes you a great person, just not a great fit here.
You may already be this person
Our ideal hire works on Claude and Anthropic's managed agents all day. Almost nobody does yet. The people who actually fit here are usually consultants at a services partner in another enterprise ecosystem, who have been circling AI rather than sitting in the middle of it.
Usually consulting or delivery work in one of these ecosystems
The partner side rather than the vendor itself. The people who implement these for clients, run the workshops and own the rollout.
What you already have
- Running a workshop where the stakeholders disagree with each other
- Mapping a process as it actually runs, not as the documentation says it runs
- Being the outsider in someone else's building and earning trust inside a day
- Knowing when a requirement is really a political constraint
- Landing a change so it sticks, rather than shipping software and leaving
What we will teach you
- Claude's enterprise capabilities, and where they stop
- Designing agents and skills that hold up in production
- MCP, and connecting Claude to the systems a business already runs on
- Context engineering as a craft rather than a knack
Not there yet? Start here
Build something. Take a piece of your own work, hand it to Claude, and see how far you get. That is the evidence we look for, and nothing substitutes for it. Two places to start, and you want both: the courses give you the language, the thing you build gives you something to talk about.
Learn the platform
Anthropic runs a free academy with courses covering Claude managed agents and the Claude platform, which is where our work lives.
Claude Academy ↗Build your first Claude work
Our cross-training pack for consultants from other ecosystems: six exercises on a fictional client, from a discovery workshop to an agent design, with a Claude skill that runs them with you.
The cross-training pack →You'll have AI colleagues
Kowalah runs its own business on a team of named Claude agents. Karolina runs the project portfolio, Brian handles sales operations, Mark watches the numbers, Mabel keeps what the company has learned. They are not tools we hand to a person who does the real job. They do the job, and you will work alongside them the way you would work alongside anyone else. Most people have never done that. It is the part of working here that takes the longest to get used to, and the part nobody wants to give up.
Working at Kowalah
What you can expect when you join.
AI-Native Workflow
You'll use AI in your own delivery every day. We don't just recommend AI to clients, we run our operations on it.
Direct Client Impact
You'll be embedded with real organisations, sitting alongside their people, building solutions that change how they work.
Early-Stage Energy
Ambiguity, multiple hats, fast decisions. If you need a detailed job spec and clear career ladder, this isn't the place. If you want to build something meaningful, it is.
Build-First Culture
We ship working solutions in weeks. No strategy decks, no months of discovery. You'll build Claude skills, agents and workflows that solve real business problems.
Depth, Not Breadth
We go deep on Anthropic rather than spreading thin across every vendor. You'll know Claude's enterprise capabilities better than almost anyone, because that depth is what makes the work good.
Real Ownership
Small team means your work defines the product, the culture, and the client experience. No hiding behind layers of management.
How we hire
Short, honest and mutual. No case studies, no panel interviews, no silence.
Chat with Emma
Spend 10 minutes with our AI Talent Partner. She tells you upfront that she is AI. She covers what Kowalah is really like and what we are looking for, and some people finish the chat and realise it is not their thing. That is a good outcome for everyone.
A conversation with our Head of Delivery
If it looks promising, you speak to the person who runs delivery. Not a screening call. An actual conversation about the work and whether you want to do it.
A decision, either way
We move quickly and we tell you where you stand. No drawn-out process, no being left to wonder.

Common questions about working at Kowalah.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this remote or in-person?
Hybrid. We believe real human connection matters, so client onsites, team meetups, and face-to-face collaboration are part of the job. But we're not an office-five-days-a-week company either. Expect to travel to client sites regularly and meet the team in person, with flexibility for focused deep work from wherever suits you.
What's the tech stack?
We are Anthropic-led: Claude, Claude Code, the Agent SDK and MCP are what client work is built on. Our marketing site runs on Astro, React and Sanity deployed on Vercel, and the platform uses Next.js. We know the wider landscape well enough to advise on a mixed estate, but our depth is in Anthropic and that is deliberate.
What stage is Kowalah at?
Early-stage. Small team, growing revenue, real clients getting real value. If you're looking for a big company with established processes, this isn't it. If you want to help build something from the ground up and shape what it becomes, you're in the right place.
Do I need AI experience?
Hands-on experience is strongly preferred, not just interest or enthusiasm. We need people who have built things with AI tools rather than read about them. Claude experience is the most directly useful, but having shipped something real with any of them tells us most of what we need to know.
What types of roles are you hiring?
Across three areas: Delivery (embedding with clients to build AI solutions), Go To Market (growing the pipeline, especially in the US), and Product (building the Kowalah platform). We're looking for people who fit the three-circle overlap, not just a job title.
