Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor\'s degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

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 sponsor visas. If we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to obtain a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to assist with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every qualification as listed. We value diverse perspectives and believe AI systems have enormous social and ethical implications.

How we\'re different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on a few large-scale research efforts and value impact—advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI.—rather than pursuing smaller puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science and are highly collaborative, with frequent research discussions to ensure we pursue the highest-impact work. We greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent work, including GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a collaborative office space.
