About the company
Anthropic’s 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.
Responsibilities
- 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 cases—not 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.
Requirements
- Have 6+ years of experience building production software, ideally full-stack.
- Can operate as a team of one when needed—you're independently capable of taking a product from idea to shipped, even if you won't always work that way.
- Think in systems and abstractions—you see the platform behind the feature request.
- Care about empowering users, not just building for them.
- Own outcomes, not just code—you 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 independently—not just contributing to larger efforts.
Conditions
- 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.
