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.

Anthropic is looking for product engineers to build internal products. This role sits at the intersection of engineering product and designyoull own outcomes not just tasks. Youll work directly with users to understand their needs identify the patterns behind their requests and build the right abstractions that unlock capabilities for everyone.

• Rapidly design prototype and ship full-stack features across backend frontend and infrastructure
• Consult with users and stakeholders to understand workflows and identify the highest-impact opportunities
• Spot patterns across user requests and reduce them into primitives platforms or middleware that support a variety of use casesnot just one-off features
• Build tools that maximize autonomy and creative freedom for less-technical users
• Make product and prioritization decisions not just execute on specs handed to you
• Iterate quickly based on feedback to continuously improve the user experience
• Pick up new tools frameworks and domains as the product evolves

• Have 6 years of experience building production software ideally full-stack
• Can operate as a team of one when neededyoure independently capable of taking a product from idea to shipped even if you wont always work that way
• Think in systems and abstractionsyou see the platform behind the feature request
• Care about empowering users not just building for them
• Own outcomes not just codeyou care whether the thing you built actually solved the problem
• Are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and operating with ambiguity
• Hold yourself to a high bar without needing external pressure

• Proficiency across the stack (we use Python TypeScript React)
• Experience building platforms primitives or internal tools that others build on top of
• A track record of shipping products independentlynot just contributing to larger efforts

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.

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits optional equity donation matching generous vacation and parental leave flexible working hours and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
