Developer Education Lead

About Anthropic

Anthropics mission is to create reliable interpretable and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers engineers policy experts and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

Why this role matters

AI capabilities are advancing faster than developers can keep up. The gap between what Claude can do and what developers know how to build with it is widening with every model release every new API feature and every capability unlock. Closing that gap isnt just a content problemits a strategic imperative that directly affects how this technology gets adopted integrated and ultimately trusted in production systems around the world.

Anthropics Ministry of Education exists to help people and organizations develop genuine fluency with AInot just product training but the kind of understanding that compounds over time and transfers as capabilities advance. This role owns the developer side of that mission: creating and managing the roadmap for all developer-facing education content and distribution.

The role

As developer education lead youll own the end-to-end strategy roadmap and execution for how developers learn to build with Claude. This is not a traditional content role. Youll sit at the intersection of DevRel product and educationdeeply embedded in product launches working cross-functionally with engineering developer relations GTM and the broader education team to ensure every major capability ships with the educational content developers need to adopt it. This is a technical role with an expectation of using and testing dev tools in your workflows.

Youll build and own a content pipeline that moves from idea to validation to production to launchreplacing ad-hoc vibes-based prioritization with a system thats rigorous about what gets made and why. Your scope spans video content written tutorials API courses cookbooks and whatever formats emerge as Claudes capabilities evolve. Youll work closely with our DevRel team video producers and technical writers to create content that helps developers go from Ive heard of Claude to Im building production systems with it.

Key responsibilities

• Own the developer education content roadmapprioritizing what gets built when and for whom across video written and course formats

• Partner deeply with product and engineering teams on launchesensuring every major feature API update and capability unlock ships with developer education content documentation

• Collaborate with DevRel to align on YouTube strategy community content and developer community programs (e.g. ambassador programs public certifications)

• Manage and coordinate with video producers technical writers and contractors to execute against the roadmap

• Conduct ongoing content auditsidentifying what to update remove and add as Claudes capabilities evolve (e.g. new API features deprecations agentic capabilities)

• Define and track content performance metrics that go beyond vanity metricsmeasuring actual developer adoption activation and fluency gains

• Work with cross-functional teams in MoE marketing and product to ensure education reaches developer audiences when and where they need it and has sufficient parity with offerings across non-technical audiences

You might be a good fit if

• You have 5 years in developer content strategy developer education DevRel or technical content leadershipideally at a developer tools or platform company

• Youve owned a content roadmap end-to-end and can point to systems you built for prioritizing producing and measuring technical content at scale

• Youre deeply cross-functionalcomfortable working across engineering product marketing and community teams and translating between their priorities

• You understand developers as an audience because you are one. Youre experienced building with developer tools and can comfortably jump in to use and understand new dev tools independently

• Youre a strong writer and editor who can translate complex technical concepts without dumbing them down

• You use AI tools (ideally Claude) extensively in your own worknot as a novelty but as core infrastructure for how you think write and ship

• Youre comfortable building processes from scratch in fast-moving ambiguous environments where the product itself is changing rapidly

• You have a strong perspective on how developer education needs to evolve as AI capabilities advance toward AGI

Strong candidates may also have

• Experience managing video content programs (YouTube channels course platforms tutorial series)

• Background in API documentation developer experience or technical writing

• Familiarity with AI/ML concepts and the developer tooling landscape

• Experience with developer education platforms (Skilljar Coursera or similar)

• Prior experience at a high-growth technology company navigating rapid product evolution

Logistics

Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelors degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However some roles may require more time in our offices.

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 youre interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones were 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.

How were different

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. And we value impact advancing our long-term goals of steerable trustworthy AI rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. 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. Were 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.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic including: GPT-3 Circuit-Based Interpretability Multimodal Neurons Scaling Laws AI & Compute Concrete Problems in AI Safety and Learning from Human Preferences.
