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.

About the role

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We believe powerful AI can compress a century of scientific progress into a decade. Bringing Claude to scientists and engineers is a big part of building toward that future.

Claude has already helped uncover a novel enzyme system , formalize Fermat’s Last Theorem , design more efficient quantum circuits , and compute new results in theoretical physics — and this is just the beginning. You’ll figure out what scientists and engineers need from Claude and build it from 0→1.

You’ll be a technical leader with a high degree of autonomy, helping clear the path to harnessing scientific AGI. You’ll work with internal experts and industry partners. Initiatives like our AI for Science Program will connect you with researchers we support in high-impact work across scientific fields.

Key responsibilities
