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
- Foundational Research: We develop new architectures for modeling multimodal data and study how they interact with text-only models at scale
- We work on many infrastructure projects including:
- Complex multimodal reinforcement learning environments
- High-performance RPC servers for processing image inputs
- Sandboxing infrastructure for securely collecting data
- Data Ingestion:
- 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
- Because we focus on so many areas, the team is looking to work with both experienced engineers and strong researchers, and encourage anyone along the researcher/engineer curve to apply

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.
