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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • We greatly value communication skills.
  • Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco.

Equal Opportunity

  • 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.
