About the company
Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. The team includes researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working to build beneficial AI systems.
About the role
Claude Science is an AI workbench that gives researchers a single environment for work spanning literature, specialized databases, scientific computing, analysis, and publication-ready outputs. It renders protein structures, genome tracks, and chemical structures natively, and coordinates multi-agent workflows with built-in review for citation and calculation errors. Much of this is being built 0→1.
Responsibilities
- Ship fast against a roadmap you help shape in a category no one has defined yet
- Interface directly with working scientists — academic labs, industry R&D teams, and research institutes — translating learnings into engineering priorities
- Partner with product and design to turn how scientists work — from hypothesis to analysis to publication — into shipped product
- Work closely with research to make models better at science: shaping evals, surfacing failure modes, and feeding real-world user issues back into model development
Requirements
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, ideally with 2+ years at a Staff or equivalent technical leadership level
- Built products from 0 to 1 in fast-moving environments and can set technical direction with limited precedent
- Built AI products and know what it takes to turn model capabilities into applications people use
- Comfortable working directly with technical domain experts and translating what you learn
- Drive cross-team alignment to ship impactful work, with influence over authority
- Background in chemistry, biology, physics, or another science (strong candidates may also have)
- Experience working with research teams to improve domain-specific model capabilities, including evaluation frameworks (strong candidates may also have)
Conditions
- Annual salary: $405,000 – $485,000 USD
- Location-based hybrid policy: all staff expected in one of the offices at least 25% of the time; some roles may require more
- Visa sponsorship available; Anthropic retains an immigration lawyer
- Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
- Locations: San Francisco, CA | New York City, NY
