Job Description

About Anthropic

Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that’s working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our customers and for society as a whole. Our interdisciplinary team has experience across ML, physics, policy, business and product.

You might be a good fit if you:

• Have solid ML-focused Python engineering and research skills, particularly around using and training models.
• Have led and executed technical research with a team.
• Are comfortable with messy experimental science. A lot of this is uncharted territory. We optimize for fast feedback loops. You may need to build your own tooling.
• Can clearly articulate and discuss the findings and importance of your work.
• Are mission-driven. You’re motivated to advance AI safety as fast as possible while deploying AI as positively as possible.

Responsibilities:

• Leading technical research into frontier risks.
• Developing and testing models with future capabilities.
• Designing evals.
• Collaborating with outside experts.
• Briefing external stakeholders like labs and government.

Annual Salary (USD)

• The expected salary range for this position is $320k-$600k.

Hybrid policy & US visa sponsorship: Currently, we expect all staff to be in our office at least 25% of the time. We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate; operations roles are especially difficult to support. But if we make you an offer, we will make every effort to get you into the United States, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

Role-specific policy: For this role, we prefer candidates who are able to be in our office more than 25% of the time, though we encourage you to apply even if you don’t think you will be able to do that.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

Compensation and Benefits*

Anthropic’s compensation package consists of three elements: salary, equity, and benefits. We are committed to pay fairness and aim for these three elements collectively to be highly competitive with market rates.
