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
Since launch, the Anthropic API has seen rapid growth and adoption by companies of all sizes to build AI applications with our industry-leading models. We're looking for an experienced engineering leader to lead our API Experience team, responsible for creating a world-class developer experience for the Anthropic API. The team owns the end-to-end flow for using the Anthropic API, everything from documentation and SDKs to prompt engineering and model customization tools.
Responsibilities:
- Lead a team in crafting an industry-defining developer experience for building AI applications
- Develop API tools that help our developers get the most intelligence out of our models
- Collaborate with product and research teams to define the vision and developer roadmap
- Create clarity for the team and stakeholders in an ambiguous and evolving environment
- Work cross functionally to design clear interfaces and processes for shipping products that span many teams
- Take an inclusive, equitable approach to hiring and coaching top technical talent, and maintain a high performing team
You may be a good fit if you have:
- 5+ years of experience as an engineering manager
- A background in fullstack development - comfortable diving into various technology stacks frontend, backend, and at times deeper infrastructure.
- A strong product mindset, able to navigate through ambiguity, and willingness to wear multiple hats (e.g. product management, design)
- Experience recruiting, scaling, and retaining engineering talent in a high growth environment
- Excellent leadership and communication skills
- Demonstrated success in building a culture of belonging, and of product and engineering excellence
Strong candidates may also have:
- Startup experience, building products from zero to one
- Ideally built API products for external developers
- Expertise in modern web development stacks (React, Next.js, etc)
- Experience working on AI/ML products
The expected salary range for this position is:
Annual Salary:
$320,000—$405,000 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 do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we 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 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.
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. And 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. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
