Have experience with full stack engineering to build internal tooling
Have experience with high performance, large-scale ML systems
Have experience with language modeling with transformers

Hybrid policy & 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 or United Kingdom, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

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. Optional equity donation matching at a 3:1 ratio, up to 50% of your equity grant.
~ Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance for you and all your dependents.
~Unlimited PTO – most staff take between 4-6 weeks each year, sometimes more
~ Stipends for education, home office improvements, commuting, and wellness.
~ Daily lunches and snacks in our office.
~ Relocation support for those moving to the Bay Area.

Optional equity donation matching at a 3:1 ratio, up to 50% of your equity grant.
Private health, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependents.
Pension contribution (matching 4% of your salary).
Unlimited PTO – most staff take between 4-6 weeks each year, sometimes more
Health cash plan.
Daily lunches and snacks in our office.

The level of pay within the range will depend on a variety of job-related factors, including where you place on our internal performance ladders, which is based on factors including past work experience, relevant education, and performance on our interviews or in a work trial.

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts.

We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science.

We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time.

As such, we greatly value communication skills.

We do not have boundaries between engineering and research, and we expect all of our technical staff to contribute to both as needed.
