Research Engineer, Tokens (Multimodal)

New Yesterday

About Anthropic 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. At Anthropic, we believe the most impactful safety research will require access to frontier AI systems. The most powerful AIs will operate not just on text but also other modes of data, including images, video and audio. Such models have potential to augment human creativity and productivity in exciting ways. However, we are very concerned about the risks introduced by powerful multimodal AIs. 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. Some of our core focus areas are: Foundational Research We develop new architectures for modeling multimodal data and study how they interact with text-only models at scale. Building Infrastructure 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. You may be a good fit if you: 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 Strong candidates may also have experience with: High performance, large-scale ML systems GPUs, Kubernetes, Pytorch, or OS internals Language modeling with transformers The expected salary range for this position is: $280,000 - $425,000 USD Logistics 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 may retain an immigration lawyer to help with this. 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 from underrepresented groups may experience imposter syndrome, so we urge you 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, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team. 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 just a few large-scale research efforts. We value impact—advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI—rather than work on smaller puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science with more in common with physics and biology than traditional CS; we are highly collaborative and host frequent discussions to ensure we pursue the highest-impact work. We also greatly value communication skills. The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent work. This research continues directions such as GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences. Come work with us! 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 lovely office space.
