- Optimize the API and interfaces for performance, scalability, and an intuitive user experience
- Personalize the experience to ensure accessibility and a seamless integration in people’s day to day work
- Collaborate with researchers to continuously improve interfaces based on real-world user interactions and feedback
- Implement tools and processes to monitor model behavior, performance, and alignment with user needs
- Contribute to the development of novel human-machine interaction paradigms that redefine how we work with AI
- Have 5+ years of experience as a software engineer, preferably building APIs and/or interfaces
- Have strong practical coding skills, ideally in React or other frontend languages/technologies, and experience with service-oriented architectures
- Take a user-centric approach to product development, prioritizing solutions that are robust, scalable, accessible, and intuitive
- Are passionate about the potential of AI to revolutionize the way we work and eager to tackle cutting-edge challenges in human-machine collaboration
- Have 0 to 1 experience with a proclivity towards shipping and learning, while balancing a high quality bar

- Have experience with REST APIs
- Have experience with containerization and DevOps
- Have experience with QA and testing automation
- Have experience with privacy and security best practices
- Possess a vision for the future of human-machine interaction and a drive to make that vision a reality
If you're excited by the prospect of shaping the future of human-AI collaboration and creating groundbreaking technologies that empower people to achieve more, we'd love to hear from you. Join us on our mission to unlock the full potential of human-machine synergy and redefine the nature of work itself.
The expected salary range for this position is:
Annual Salary:
$300,000—$405,000 USD
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.
Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
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.
How we're 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. 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.
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.
