Company mission

To create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.

Role

Who you are

  • Have significant software engineering experience
  • Are results-oriented, with a bias towards flexibility and impact
  • Pick up slack, even if it goes outside your job description
  • Enjoy pair programming (we love to pair!)
  • Want to learn more about machine learning research
  • Care about the societal impacts of your work

Desirable

  • High performance, large-scale ML systems
  • GPUs, Kubernetes, Pytorch, or OS internals
  • Language modeling with transformers
  • Reinforcement learning
  • Large-scale ETL

What the job involves

  • The Multimodal team at Anthropic builds and studies multimodal models to better understand and mitigate these risks
  • Our team works across many parts of a large stack that includes training, inference, system design and data collection
  • We develop new architectures for modeling multimodal data and study how they interact with text-only models at scale
  • Complex multimodal reinforcement learning environments
  • High-performance RPC servers for processing image inputs
  • Sandboxing infrastructure for securely collecting data
  • We are more interested in running simple experiments at large scale than smaller complex experiments. This requires access to very large sources of multimodal data. We develop tooling to collect, process and clean multimodal data at scale

Our take

Funded by Google and founded by ex-OpenAI employees, Anthropic is an AI company focused on building a reliable, innovative AI system. While the company is relatively new to the market it has already launched a highly anticipated AI chat assistant called Claude which is set to rival OpenAI's ChatGPT.

Similar to other chatbots, Claude is accessible through a chat interface and can provide a number of conversation and text-processing tasks. A key point of differentiation is that Claude is designed to produce less harmful outputs than that of the other chatbots that came before it.

While there is much praise for the chat assistant, there is still room for improvement with feedback reporting that Claude is worse at maths and grammar compared to its rival. However, with industry giants like Google backing this company from an early stage, it is clear Anthropic has the potential to become a leading player within the AI industry.
