Researcher, Alignment Science
ABOUT THE TEAM The Alignment Science team at OpenAI studies the science of intent alignment: how to train models to understand what users are actually asking for, act faithfully on that intent while respecting safety constraints, verify what they did, and report their limitations honestly. Our work sits alongside broader value alignment efforts, but this team focuses on scalable methods for ensuring instruction-following, honesty, and robustness as models become more capable. We work on both sides of alignment research: producing externally publishable results and integrating promising techniques into the models OpenAI deploys. Recent team research on model confessions studies how models can be trained to honestly report shortcomings after their original answer, including failures involving hallucination, instruction following, scheming, and reward hacking. That work reflects a broader agenda: build scalable and general methods to ensure models follow human intent. The team uses a mix of training and evaluation methods, with a focus on reinforcement learning. We care about rigorous, quantitative research that can translate into safer model behavior. ABOUT THE ROLE As a Research Engineer / Research Scientist on the Alignment team, you will design and run experiments that help increasingly capable models follow user intent, remain calibrated about correctness and risk, and honestly surface their own mistakes. You will work on hands-on model training, evaluation design, and research infrastructure, while helping turn promising alignment methods into techniques that can be used in frontier model development. This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees. We are also open to exceptional remote candidates who can operate independently and collaborate closely with the team. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL: - Design and implement alignment experiments focused on intent following, honesty, calibration, and robustness. - Train and evaluate models using reinforcement learning, and other empirical ML methods. - Develop evaluations for failure modes such as hallucination, instruction-following failures, reward hacking, covert actions, and scheming. - Study methods that encourage models to verify their behavior and report shortcomings honestly, including confession-style training objectives. - Build monitoring and inference-time interventions that ensure compliant behavior or surface model issues to users or downstream systems. - Investigate how alignment methods scale with model capability, compute, data, context length, action length, and adversarial pressure. - Integrate successful techniques into model training and deployment workflows. - Produce externally publishable research when results advance the broader science of alignment. - Collaborate with researchers and engineers across post-training, RL, evaluations, safety, and product-facing teams. YOU MIGHT THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU: - Have strong hands-on experience training, evaluating, or debugging large ML models, especially LLMs. - Have excellent engineering skills in Python and modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch. - Bring mathematical rigor, quantitative taste, and comfort turning ambiguous research questions into measurable experiments. - Have experience with reinforcement learning, post-training, preference optimization, scalable oversight, model evaluation, or adjacent empirical ML research. - Can operate with high independence and do not need close day-to-day handholding. - Enjoy fast-paced, collaborative research environments where priorities shift as models and evidence change. - Have a strong record in technical problem solving, such as competitive programming, math contests, systems work, or similarly rigorous engineering and research projects. - Care about building AI systems that are trustworthy, honest, and reliable in high-stakes settings. - Are motivated by making concrete
Research Engineer, Codex
ABOUT THE TEAM The Codex Research team creates the frontier agents OpenAI ships to the world. We are training the models behind our agents in Codex, ChatGPT, the API, and other frontier products: persistent, proactive intelligence that can operate computers, collaborate with people and other agents, and expand what people and organizations can imagine, attempt, and achieve. We define what the next generation of agents should be able to do, build the training signal that teaches those abilities, and run the experiments that make them real. Our work spans coding, tool use, computer use, multi-agent coordination, long-horizon execution, factuality, instruction following, calibrated reasoning, and taste. Our team is where new model capabilities get made. We build the data, environments, graders, training methods, and feedback loops that shape what OpenAI's next agents can do, then carry those capabilities through major training runs and into the products people use. ABOUT THE ROLE As a member of the Codex Research team, you will improve the capabilities, reliability, and product fit of OpenAI's agentic models. You might own a research direction, build the infrastructure that makes large training runs faster and more trustworthy, create evals that reveal where models fail, or drive a capability from an idea through experimentation, integration, and launch. This role is intentionally broad. The strongest candidates are not defined by one method or subfield; they are people who can take an ambiguous capability problem and make progress across research, engineering, data, evals, and product. You should be excited to work on models that act in the world: writing and debugging code, using tools, calling functions, operating computers, collaborating with other agents, and completing valuable work on behalf of users. You will work with researchers, engineers, product teams, infrastructure teams, and safety/alignment partners to decide what should go into major model runs, measure whether it worked, and ship improvements into products used by real people. This is a high-agency role for people who want their work to land directly in frontier models. IN THIS ROLE, YOU MIGHT: - Design and run experiments that improve agentic model behavior across coding, tool use, function calling, computer use, multi-agent collaboration, long-horizon tasks, factuality, instruction following, and calibrated reasoning. - Own end-to-end improvements to the post-training stack, including RL, data pipelines, graders, reward signals, evals, diagnostics, and model-behavior analysis. - Build evals and environments that expose the next set of model failures, then turn those failures into training data, product fixes, or new research directions. - Partner with Codex, API/platform, ChatGPT, and general-agent product teams to understand what users need and translate product signal into model improvements. - Work on early-training and alignment interventions, including data mixtures, objectives, synthetic data, and eval loops that shape downstream agent behavior. - Help decide which integrations, capabilities, and fixes are ready for inclusion in major model runs. - Improve the machinery for large-scale training and launch: experiment velocity, reliability, observability, reproducibility, cost, latency, and production readiness. - Take on cross-functional projects that touch model training, product infrastructure, and the production agent harness, such as multi-agent systems or training directly against production-like environments. - Debug hard failures in shipped or near-shipped models and turn messy qualitative behavior into concrete hypotheses, experiments, and fixes. YOU MIGHT THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU: - Have strong technical fundamentals in machine learning, software engineering, systems, statistics, or a related field, and can learn quickly across the parts you have not worked in before. - Have hands-on experience with LLMs, RL, RLHF/RLAIF, post-training, evals,

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. Note: we don't have open Research Manager positions on the Interpretability team at this time. However, we're actively growing our team of Research Engineers and Research Scientists . If you're excited about interpretability research and open to an individual contributor role, we encourage you to apply. About the Interpretability team When you see what modern language models are capable of, do you wonder, "How do these things work? How can we trust them?" The Interpretability team’s mission is to reverse engineer how trained models work, and Interpretability research is one of Anthropic’s core research bets on AI safety. We believe that a mechanistic understanding is the most robust way to make advanced systems safe. People mean many different things by "interpretability". We're focused on mechanistic interpretability, which aims to discover how neural network parameters map to meaningful algorithms. Some useful analogies might be to think of us as trying to do "biology" or "neuroscience" of neural networks, or as treating neural networks as binary computer programs we're trying to "reverse engineer". We aim to create a solid scientific foundation for mechanistically understanding neural networks and making them safe (see our vision post ). We have focused on resolving the issue of "superposition" (see Toy Models of Superposition , Superposition, Memorization, and Double Descent , and our May 2023 update ), which causes the computational units of the models, like neurons and attention heads, to be individually uninterpretable, and on finding ways to decompose models into more interpretable components. Our subsequent work which found millions of features in Claude 3.0 Sonnet, one of our production language models, represents progress in this direction. In our most recent work , we developed methods that allow us to build circuits using features and use these circuits to understand the mechanisms associated with a model's computation and study specific examples of multi-hop reasoning, planning, and chain-of-thought faithfulness on Claude Haiku 3.5, one of our production models.” This is a stepping stone towards our overall goal of mechanistically understanding neural networks. A few places to learn more about our work and team are this introduction to Interpretability from our research lead, Chris Olah, Stanford CS25 lecture given by Josh Batson, and TWIML AI podcast with E

Research Engineer, Interpretability
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: When you see what modern language models are capable of, do you wonder, "How do these things work? How can we trust them?" The Interpretability team at Anthropic is working to reverse-engineer how trained models work because we believe that a mechanistic understanding is the most robust way to make advanced systems safe. Think of us as doing "neuroscience" of neural networks using "microscopes" we build - or reverse-engineering neural networks like binary programs. More resources to learn about our work: - Our research blog - covering advances including Monosemantic Features and Circuits - An Introduction to Interpretability from our research lead, Chris Olah - The Urgency of Interpretability from CEO Dario Amodei - Engineering Challenges Scaling Interpretability - directly relevant to this role - 60 Minutes segment - Around 8:07, see a demo of tooling our team built - New Yorker article - what it's like to work on one of AI's hardest open problems Even if you haven’t worked on interpretability before, the infrastructure expertise is similar to what's needed across the lifecycle of a production language model: - Pretraining: Training dictionary learning models looks a lot like model pretraining - creating stable, performant training jobs for massively parameterized models across thousands of chips - Inference: Interp runs a customized inference stack. Day-to-day analysis requires services that allow editing a model's internal activations mid-forward-pass - for example, adding a "steering vector" - Performance: Like all LLM work, we push up against the limits of hardware and software. Rather than squeezing the last 0.1%, we are focused on finding bottlenecks, fixing them and moving ahead given rapidly evolving research and safety mission The science keeps scaling - and it's now applied directly in safety audits on frontier models, with real deadlines. As our research has matured, engineering and infrastructure have become a bottleneck. Your work will have a direct impact on one of the most important open problems in AI. Responsibilities: - Build and maintain the specialized inference and training infrastructure that powers interpretability research - including instrumented forward/backward passes, activation extraction, and steering vector a

Researcher, Automated Red Teaming
ABOUT THE TEAM Preparedness is a critical Safety Research team at OpenAI, which is focused on mitigating AI threats to global security https://openai.com/index/updating-our-preparedness-framework/ that could scale to an extreme level of severity. Our work involves: 1. Measurement. Monitoring and predicting the evolving capabilities of frontier AI systems. 2. Mitigation. Keeping misuse safeguards, alignment tools, and security measures on track to adequately address extreme threats that might arise in the future. 3. Coordination. Setting mitigation targets by maintaining OpenAI’s preparedness framework https://openai.com/index/updating-our-preparedness-framework/, and partnering with other staff to achieve these targets. This is urgent, fast-paced work that has far-reaching implications for the company and for society. ABOUT THE ROLE This role leads the Automated Red Teaming (ART) effort: building scalable, research-driven systems that continuously uncover failure modes in our models and safeguards, and translate those findings into actionable, production-facing improvements. The goal is to reduce expected harm by finding the highest-leverage, least-covered weaknesses early and reliably. IN THIS ROLE, YOU'LL: - Own the research and technical direction for automated red teaming across catastrophic risk areas, with an initial emphasis on: - Automated classifier jailbreak discovery (cyber and bio). - Automated bio threat-development elicitation (worst-feasible planning uplift). - CoT monitoring evasion probing (and adjacent loss-of-control evaluations). - Partner closely with: - Vertical risk teams (Cyber, Bio, Loss of Control) to define threat models, prioritize targets, and land mitigations. - The Classifiers team to turn discovered attacks into training data, evals, and measurable robustness gains. - Product / Engineering / Safety stakeholders to ensure ART outputs are operationally useful. YOU MIGHT THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU: - Feel a strong pull toward AI safety, and you’re motivated by reducing real-world catastrophic risk (not just publishing cool results). - Love breaking systems (responsibly) — you get energy from finding weird, high-severity failure modes and turning them into concrete fixes. - Have strong applied research instincts, especially around evaluations: you’re good at designing experiments that are reproducible, interpretable, and hard to fool. - Bring hands-on experience with LLMs and agents, including multi-turn behaviors, tool use, and the ways models adapt to constraints. - Are comfortable building scalable automation, not just prototypes — you can turn red-teaming ideas into pipelines that run continuously and produce high-signal outputs. - Have solid software engineering fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, testing discipline) and you can work effectively in a production-adjacent environment. - Think in threat models and incentives, and you naturally ask “what would an attacker do next?” or “how would this fail under pressure?” - Can translate messy findings into action, communicating clearly with researchers, engineers, product, and policy — and driving alignment on what to fix first. - Care about efficiency and prioritization, and you’re happy to say “no” to low-leverage work to focus on what moves the risk needle. - Nice to have: - Experience in adversarial ML, security research / red teaming, abuse prevention systems, or large-scale eval infrastructure.

Full-Stack Software Engineer, Reinforcement Learni...
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 As a Full-Stack Software Engineer in RL, you'll build the platforms, tools, and interfaces that power environment creation, data collection, and training observability. The quality of Claude's next generation depends on the quality of the data we train it on — and the systems you build are what make that data possible. You'll own product surfaces end-to-end — from backend services and APIs to the web UIs that researchers, external vendors, and thousands of data labelers use every day. You don't need a background in ML research. What matters is that you can take an ambiguous, high-stakes problem and ship a polished, reliable product against it, fast. This team moves very quickly. Claude writes a lot of the code we commit, which means the bottleneck isn't typing — it's judgment, taste, and the ability to react to what researchers need next. You'll iterate on data collection strategies to distill the knowledge of thousands of human experts around the world into our models, and you'll do it in a loop that closes in hours and days, not quarters or months. Anthropic's Reinforcement Learning organization leads the research and development that trains Claude to be capable, reliable, and safe. We've contributed to every Claude model, with significant impact on the autonomy and coding capabilities of our most advanced models. Our work spans teaching models to use computers effectively, advancing code generation through RL, pioneering fundamental RL research for large language models, and building the scalable training methodologies behind our frontier production models. The RL org is organized around four goals: solving the science of long-horizon tasks and continual learning, scaling RL data and environments to be comprehensive and diverse, automating software engineering end-to-end, and training the frontier production model. Our engineering teams build the environments, evaluation systems, data pipelines, and tooling that make all of this possible — from realistic agentic training environments and scalable code data generation to human data collection platforms and production training operations. What You'll Do - Build and extend web platforms for RL environment creation, management, and quality review — including environment configuration, versioning, and validation workflows - Develop vendor-facing interfaces and tooling that let external partners create, submit, and iterate on training environments with minimal friction - Design and implement platforms for human data collection at scale, including labeling workflows, quality assurance systems, and feedback mechanisms that surface reward signal integrity issues early - Build evaluation dashboards and observability UIs that give researchers real-time insight into environment quality, training run health, and reward hacking - Create backend services and APIs that connect environment authoring tools, data collection systems, and RL training infrastructure - Build and expand scalable code data generation pipelines, producing diverse programming tasks with robust reward signals across languages and difficulty levels - Develop onboarding automation and documentation tooling so new vendors and internal users r

ABOUT THE ROLE As a member of the Agent Post-training Personality team, you will help make OpenAI’s agents exceptional collaborators. You will study what makes an agent thoughtful, clear, perceptive, appropriately proactive, and genuinely easy to work with, then translate those insights into evals, training data, reward signals, and model improvements. We use “personality” to mean much more than writing style or general likability. It includes whether an agent understands what the user is trying to accomplish, communicates with good judgment, adapts to context, asks useful questions, handles disagreement honestly and takes initiative at the right moments. The goal is to create a strong, tasteful default that can adapt to different people and situations. This work combines behavioral research, product thinking, research and communication taste. You will collaborate with product teams, human experts, and researchers across post-training and pretraining to ensure that improvements survive the full training stack and reach the models people use every day. IN THIS ROLE, YOU MIGHT - Develop a rigorous understanding of what makes an agent a great collaborator across professional, creative, technical, and everyday work. - Turn qualitative judgments about model behavior into concrete hypotheses, evals, graders, and training interventions. - Study explicit and implicit user signals to understand which behaviors create trust, satisfaction, continued use, and successful outcomes. - Work with human experts and trainers to produce high-quality, tasteful rollouts and preference data that capture excellent collaborative behavior. - Improve reward models and RL objectives for model behaviors. - Work with pretraining and early-training teams on data mixtures, objectives, synthetic data, and other upstream choices that shape downstream personality. - Build sustainable pipelines for updating older training data as our understanding of excellent model behavior evolves. - Partner closely with ChatGPT, Codex, and other product teams to turn consumer insight into model improvements and validate them in real workflows. - Own projects end to end, from observing a subtle behavioral failure through experimentation, training, evaluation, and launch. YOU MIGHT THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU - Think instinctively from the user’s perspective and care deeply about how models feel to work with, not only how they perform on benchmarks. - Can translate subjective-seeming product questions into falsifiable hypotheses and rigorous evaluations without losing the nuance that made the question important. - Care about preserving individuality, adaptability, and behavioral diversity rather than optimizing every model toward one narrow style. - Want to shape how frontier agents communicate, collaborate, and build trust with millions of people. - Have strong technical foundations in machine learning, software engineering, statistics, behavioral science, HCI, or a related field, and can quickly learn across u

Data Scientist, GTM
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 As part of our growing Data Science & Analytics team, you will play an instrumental role in Anthropic's mission of building safe and beneficial AI — this time by driving data-informed decisions across the commercial customer lifecycle. This role sits at the intersection of fast-moving sales operations and rigorous statistical analysis. You will work across multiple segments and products, partnering with analytics engineers, fellow data scientists, and go-to-market leadership to turn complex commercial data into actionable strategy. You will own measurement and analysis for new logo acquisition through activation, expansion, and retention for a rapidly scaling, consumption-based AI platform.

Engineering Manager, Agent Prompts & Evals
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 is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the Agent Prompts & Evals team. This team owns the infrastructure that lets Anthropic ship model and prompt changes with confidence — the eval frameworks, system prompt pipelines, and regression-detection systems that every model launch depends on. When a new Claude model is ready to ship, this team is the one answering “is it actually better in our products?” When a product team wants to change how Claude behaves, this team owns the tooling that tells them whether they broke something. It’s a platform team whose platform is model behavior itself. The team sits deliberately at the seam between product engineering and research. You’ll partner closely with other evals groups across the company on shared infrastructure and methodology, with product teams who are shipping features on top of Claude, and with the TPMs and research PMs driving model launches. The pace is set by the model release cadence, and the team operates as both a platform owner and a hands-on partner during launch periods. You don’t need a research background, but you do need to want to learn how to measure things like “is Claude being too sycophantic” or “did web search get worse.” The best version of this role is someone who’s built strong platform or devtools teams before and is excited to apply that skillset to a domain where the thing you’re measuring is a language model. Responsibilities - Lead and grow a team of prompt engineers and platform software engineers - Own the product-side eval platform: the frameworks, dashboards, bulk runners, and CI integrations that product teams use to measure Claude’s behavior and catch regressions before they ship - Own system prompt infrastructure: versioning, deployment, rollback, and review tooling for the prompts that run in production across claude.ai , the API, and agentic surfaces - Be a steady hand through model launches — these are the team’s highest-stakes operational moments and the EM is the backstop when things get chaotic - Build durable collaboration with other evals groups across the company; this means real work on ownership boundaries, shared roadmaps, and avoiding tragedy-of-the-commons on shared eval infrastructure - Recruit, close, and retain engineers who want to work at the intersection of product engineering and model behavior - Shape where the team invests next: there are credible paths into frontier eval development, model launch automation, and deeper prompt engineering support, and part of the job is sequencing them - Push the team toward measuring things that are hard to measure — behavioral drift, prompt quality, harness parity — not just things that are easy You May Be a

This role blends research and engineering. You'll design RL environments and coding tasks, build the reward signals and verifiers that capture what "good code" means, run training experiments on frontier models, diagnose why a model does (or doesn't) get better at a class of software-engineering work, and improve the speed and reliability of the pipelines that make all of that iterate fast. Code RL spans several focus areas — from agentic coding behaviors and code correctness, to long-horizon autonomous engineering, to high-performance code for accelerators — and we'll match you to the area where you'll have the most impact. You may be a good fit if you: - Have strong software-engineering skills and deep Python expertise, including async/concurrent programming - Are comfortable owning systems end to end and debugging across the stack - Can balance research exploration with engineering implementation, and engage rigorously in shaping experimental design and interpreting results - Care about code quality, testing, and performance - Are passionate about the potential impact of AI and are committed to developing safe and beneficial systems Strong candidates may also have: - Experience with reinforcement learning, RLHF, post-training, or LLM finetuning - Built coding agents, code-execution sandboxes, eval harnesses, veri

AI Advisory Consultant
Scale AI's Advisory practice is the most forward-leaning bet in our go-to-market motion. We're not waiting for clients to hand us a scope — we get in front of the decision, shape the right AI problems before a build begins, and make Scale the obvious partner for what comes next. Advisory is the structured answer to the question enterprises are already asking us: "What should we build, and where do we start?" It's a discovery and scoping phase that runs before delivery — designed to land bigger contracts, drive more predictable execution, and accelerate expansion. By 2027, it will be Scale's default first engagement with new enterprise clients. As an AI Advisory Consultant, you sit at the center of every engagement — paired with a Principal, producing the research, synthesis, impact sizing, and workshop materials that shape the work, and pressure-testing the team's assumptions. You also run the engagement day-to-day — owning the timelines, trackers, and coordination across Solutions Engineering and Design, and acting as the single source of truth that keeps everything on track from kickoff to final readout. This is a delivery role; you own real parts of the advisory work and partner closely with the Principal to deliver the engagement. It's a direct path into the AI Advisory Principal track. What You'll Own You're at the center of every engagement — doing the work and keeping it on track. - Deliver the core advisory work. You produce the output the engagement runs on — market research, impact sizing, synthesis, and workshop materials — working alongside the Principal. - Run the engagement day-to-day. You own the timelines, trackers, and single source of truth — monitoring open items and follow-ups across Solutions Engineering and Design, and keeping the engagement on track from kickoff to final readout. Working closely with the Solutions Engineering workstream, you weave their technical and feasibility findings into the readouts so the engagement tells one coherent story. - Build the case ahead of client conversations. You develop the research and supporting materials that set up pre-sales conversations to land, and support the Principal in building out vertical thought leadership. - Turn each engagement into reusable knowledge. You own the debrief notes, findings write-ups, and structured hand-offs after each engagement, and you contribute the patterns and materials that improve the motion and playbook. - Build the AI workflows that make us faster. You spot where the team's work can be automated or templatized — recaps, status tracking, synthesized readouts, reusable materials — and you build those AI-powered solutions, not just flag them. You also set up baseline measurement and tracking. Qualifications Ideally, you’d have - Consultant equivalent experience at a Tier 1 firm (McKinsey, Bain, BCG ideally); 3+ years of work experience. Experience on AI strategy or transformation projects strongly preferred. - A track record of structured, analytics-driven problem solving — turning messy, ambiguous inputs into a clear, defensible point of view. - Excellent communication — produces clean, exec-ready first drafts of findings and materials that need little editing. - A history of diligence and organization across multiple workstreams — owns the trackers and details so nothing slips, even under time pressure. - Technical credibility. No engineering degree required. You are curious enough to push bac

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 We are looking for biological scientists to help build safety and oversight mechanisms for our AI systems. As a Safeguards Biological Safety Research Scientist, you will apply your technical skills to design and develop our safety systems which detect harmful behaviors and to prevent misuse by sophisticated threat actors. You will be at the forefront of defining what responsible AI safety looks like in the biological domain, working across research, policy, and engineering to translate complex biosecurity concepts into concrete technical safeguards. This is a unique opportunity to shape how frontier AI models handle dual-use biological knowledge—balancing the tremendous potential of AI to accelerate legitimate life sciences research while preventing misuse by sophisticated threat actors. In this role, you will: - Design and execute capability evaluations ("evals") to assess the capabilities of new models - Collaborate closely with internal and external threat modeling experts to develop training data for our safety systems, and with ML engineers to train these safety systems, optimizing for both robustness against adversarial attacks and low false-positive rates for legitimate researchers - Analyze safety system performance in traffic, identifying gaps and proposing improvements - Develop rigorous stress-testing of our safeguards against evolving threats and product surfaces - Partner with Research, Product, and Policy teams to ensure biological safety is embedded throughout the model development lifecycle - Contribute to external communications, including model cards, blog posts, and policy documents related to biological safety - Monitor emerging technologies for their potential to contribute to new risks and new mitigation strategies, and strategically address these Minimum Qualifications: - A PhD in molecular biology, virology, microbiology, biochemistry, systems or computational biology, or a related life sciences field, OR equivalent professional experience - Extensive experience in scientific computing and data analysis, with proficiency in programming (Python preferred) - Deep expertise in modern biology, including both "reading" (e.g. high-throughput measurement, functional assays) and "writing" (gene synthesis, genome editing, strain construction, protein engineering) techniques in biology - Familiarity with dual-use research concerns, select agent regulations, and biosecurity frameworks (e.g., Biological Weapons Convention, Australia Group guidelines) - Strong analytical and writing skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders - Have a passion for learning new skills and an ability to rapidly adapt to changing techniques and technologies - Comfort working in a fast-paced environment where priorities may shift as AI capabilities evolve Preferred Qualifications - Background in AI/ML systems, particularly experience with large language models - Experience in
Data Scientist, Supply
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 Anthropic Anthropic is an AI safety and research company. We build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems, and we believe AI will have a vast impact on the world — our goal is to ensure that impact is positive. About the role Anthropic is compute-constrained, and how we allocate that compute is one of the highest-leverage decisions we make as a company. Today, allocation choices are only loosely tied to the user outcomes we ultimately care about — retention, lifetime value, and the experience of people relying on Claude. This role exists to change that by addressing two intertwined problems at the heart of how we allocate compute. The first is an allocation problem: matching a volatile, heterogeneous stream of demand to a finite, heterogeneous fleet of chips. Which models run on which hardware, in which regions, under what serving configurations — with demand shifting and capacity bounded — is a problem the team navigates continuously today, with more intuition than rigor. You will bring structure to it: building the metrics and analytical frameworks that make the trade-offs legible, and partnering with the infrastructure teams that own these systems to turn that understanding into better decisions. The second is a causal-inference problem: there are many levers — rate limits, pricing, cache behavior, capacity shifts, routing changes — and only a partial picture of what pulling each one actually does to the users on the other end. You will build the causal understanding that closes that gap, choosing whatever approach the question calls for, so allocation decisions are made on expected user impact rather than intuition. This role is a fit for someone who thinks natively in terms of constrained allocation and queueing, who treats "what would happen if we changed X" as an identification problem rather than a dashboard query, and who wants their work to translate into operational and productionized change. You will work closely with the infrastructure engineers who run our compute, and your findings will be presented to senior leadership. Key responsibilities - Build and run testing frameworks — observational and synthetic — to quantify how different inputs affect compute allocation outcomes - Connect compute allocation decisions to downstream user outcomes (retention, lifetime value, revenue) - Partner closely with infrastructure engineers, product, and research to instrument systems, measure what matters, and ship operational changes - Develop the metric hierarchies, dashboards, and reporting that turn supply decisions into shared understanding across the company - Contribute analyses and recommendations to executive forums, and co-author the supply narrative shared with the CTO and staff Minimum qualifications - Strong technical individual-contributor background in data science, analytics, or operations research - Demonstrated comfort reasoning about resource allocation and trade-offs under constraints — drawn to systems problems, not just dashboards - Working fluency with causal inference — able to recogni

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 We're looking for Research Engineers to build the evaluations that tell us — and the world — what Claude can actually do. Your work will turn ambiguous notions of "intelligence" into clear, defensible metrics that researchers, leadership, and the public can rely on. You'll design and implement evaluations across the full spectrum of Claude's capabilities and personality, and build the infrastructure that runs them reliably at scale. You'll partner closely with researchers throughout the lifecycle of a new capability — from defining what to measure, to running the eval against live training checkpoints, to interpreting the results. The goal is to make Anthropic the leader in extremely well-characterized AI systems, with performance that is exhaustively measured and validated across the tasks that matter. Key responsibilities - Design and run new evaluations of Claude's capabilities — reasoning, agentic behavior, knowledge, safety properties — and produce visualizations that make the results legible to researchers and decision-makers - Build and harden the distributed eval execution platform so hundreds of evals run reliably against checkpoints throughout production RL training runs - Own the dashboards researchers and leadership use to monitor model health during training, improving signal-to-noise, reducing latency, and making regressions impossible to miss - Debug anomalous eval results mid-training-run, determine whether the cause is a model change or an infrastructure issue, and communicate the answer clearly under time pressure - Improve the tooling, libraries, and workflows researchers use to implement and iterate on evaluations - Partner with research teams across the full lifecycle of a new capability — from defining what to measure to interpreting results as training progresses - Run experiments to characterize how prompting, sampling, and scaffolding choices affect results on internal and industry benchmarks - Communicate evaluations and their results to internal stakeholders and, where approp

Product Manager, Developer Productivity
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 As a Product Manager focused on Developer Productivity, you'll partner with Infrastructure, Inference, Research, and Product Engineering to build the systems that determine how thousands of engineers and researchers at Anthropic develop, build, test, and ship code—the foundation on which every model, evaluation, and product feature depends: - Partner with Developer Productivity engineering teams to own the end-to-end developer experience—from the source control and language ecosystems that underpin our monorepo, to the build and CI infrastructure that keeps thousands of daily builds running reliably across multiple cloud providers, to the acceleration tooling that deeply integrates Claude into every engineer's workflow. - Your work directly impacts engineering velocity across the entire company: defining the abstractions for how code moves from idea to production, establishing the metrics that surface friction before it compounds, and making the trade-offs that keep a rapidly scaling engineering organization shipping with confidence. - You'll drive the evolution of our developer platform through a fundamental shift in how software gets built—as AI agents move from autocomplete to autonomous collaborators, the definition of "developer" is changing, and our tooling, governance, and workflows must change with it. You'll be defining what developer productivity means when a meaningful share of code is written, tested, and reviewed by Claude itself. - You will define and own the strategy and roadmap across build systems, CI/CD pipelines, developer environments, accelerator toolchain management (GPU, TPU, Trainium), and the AI-native acceleration layer that makes Anthropic the most productive place in the world to build frontier AI. Responsibilities: - Deeply understand the needs of internal customers across Research, Inference, Infrastructure, and Product—from researchers iterating on training code who need fast, reproducible builds to inference engineers managing compute-intensive toolchains with strict compatibility constraints. - Define and iterate on the developer experience model: the workflows, tooling primitives, and feedback loops that govern how engineers and AI agents collaborate on code—including how we measure productivity when the unit of work is no longer a human typing. - Partner with engineering leads to design build, CI, and test infrastructure that scales non-linearly with engineering headcount—ensuring that as Claude takes on more of the inner loop, the outer loop (review, validation, deployment) doesn't become the new bottleneck. - Drive product strategy and roadmap for developer acceleration, including AI-assisted code review, agent-driven test generation, automated dependency management, and the governance frameworks that let teams safely delegate work to autonomous systems. - Own the trade-off framework between velocity, reliability, security, and cost—making transparent prioritization decisions about where to invest in human workflows versus agent workflows, and communicating them clearly to senior leadership. - Establish and champion the productivity metrics that matter in an AI-native engineering org—moving beyond commits an

Performance Engineer, Inference Systems
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 inference fleet serves Claude to millions of users across our own products and the world's largest cloud platforms. The stack that makes this possible is deep and tightly coupled: accelerator kernels, model servers, distributed routing, autoscaling, capacity management. Every layer affects the others, often in ways that are hard to see in isolation. The Inference System Dynamics team is responsible for understanding that whole system and holding it to a high bar across four dimensions: throughput, latency, reliability, and correctness . We measure how the fleet performs against its theoretical performance frontier, run cross-layer investigations to explain the gaps, and own the correctness checks that make sure Claude's outputs are right, not just fast, across hardware platforms and serving configurations. We don't own the individual components. We instrument and model them, find the highest-leverage opportunities across them, and partner with the owning teams to land the wins. You'll work across all four areas. One week that might mean tracing a tail-latency regression from request timing down through routing and batching into a kernel overhead; the next it might mean tightening a correctness eval so it catches an output regression introduced by a quantization change. We're looking for performance engineers who treat correctness as part of performance. Key Responsibilities - Run cross-layer performance investigations across throughput, latency, and reliability, sizing the gap between actual fleet performance and theoretical rooflines, identifying root causes, and quantifying the value of closing them - Own and improve the correctness evaluation pipeline that validates model output quality across hardware platforms, numerics, and serving configurations, and lead the investigation when it catches a regression - Build the observability, dashboards, and modeling tools that make throughput, latency, cost, reliability, correctness, and their interactions legible across the stack - Partner with kernel, serving, routing, autoscaling, and capacity teams to prioritize and land the highest-impact optimizations your analysis surfaces - Ruthlessly stack-rank a large surface area of opportunities by impact and effort, and say no to the ones that don't make the cut Minimum Qualifications - Hands-on performance engineering experience: profiling, roofline analysis, latency/throughput optimization, and root-cause investigation in complex production systems - Proficiency in Python, with the ability to read, instrument, and contribute to large production codebases you didn’t write - Solid data analysis skills (e.g. SQL, pandas, or similar) sufficient to turn raw telemetry into clear findings - Ability to communicate quantitative results clearly in writing to influence priorities on teams you don't manage - Genuine interest in correctness as an engineering discipline: numerics, evaluation design, regression detection Preferred Qualifications - Expe

Research Scientist, Interpretability
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: When you see what modern language models are capable of, do you wonder, "How do these things work? How can we trust them?" The Interpretability team at Anthropic is working to reverse-engineer how trained models work because we believe that a mechanistic understanding is the most robust way to make advanced systems safe. We’re looking for researchers and engineers to join our efforts. People mean many different things by "interpretability". We're focused on mechanistic interpretability, which aims to discover how neural network parameters map to meaningful algorithms. Some useful analogies might be to think of us as trying to do "biology" or "neuroscience" of neural networks using “microscopes” we build, or as treating neural networks as binary computer programs we're trying to "reverse engineer". A few places to learn more about our work and team at a high level are this introduction to Interpretability from our research lead, Chris Olah ; a discussion of our work on the Hard Fork podcast produced by the New York Times, and this blog post (and accompanying video) sharing more about some of the engineering challenges we’d had to solve to get these results. Some of our team's notable publications include A Mathematical Framework for Transformer Circuits , In-context Learning and Induction Heads , Toy Models of Superposition , Scaling Monosemanticity , and our Circuits’ Methods and Biology papers. This work builds on ideas from members' work prior to Anthropic such as the original circuits thread , Multimodal Neurons , <a class="text-accent-seco

Agent Post-Training Research
About the Team The Agent Post-Training team creates the frontier agents OpenAI ships to the world. We are training the models behind our agents in Codex, ChatGPT, the API, and other frontier products: persistent, proactive intelligence that can operate computers, collaborate with people and other agents, and expand what people and organizations can imagine, attempt, and achieve. We define what the next generation of agents should be able to do, build the training signal that teaches those abilities, and run the experiments that make them real. Our work spans coding, tool use, computer use, multi-agent coordination, long-horizon execution, factuality, instruction following, calibrated reasoning, and taste. Our team is where new model capabilities get made. We build the data, environments, graders, training methods, and feedback loops that shape what OpenAI's next agents can do, then carry those capabilities through major training runs and into the products people use. About the Role As a member of Agent Post-Training, you will improve the capabilities, reliability, and product fit of OpenAI's agentic models. You might own a research direction, build the infrastructure that makes large training runs faster and more trustworthy, create evals that reveal where models fail, or drive a capability from an idea through experimentation, integration, and launch. This role is intentionally broad. The strongest candidates are not defined by one method or subfield; they are people who can take an ambiguous capability problem and make progress across research, engineering, data, evals, and product. You should be excited to work on models that act in the world: writing and debugging code, using tools, calling functions, operating computers, collaborating with other agents, and completing valuable work on behalf of users. You will work with researchers, engineers, product teams, infrastructure teams, and safety/alignment partners to decide what should go into major model runs, measure whether it worked, and ship improvements into products used by real people. This is a high-agency role for people who want their work to land directly in frontier models. In this role, you might - Design and run experiments that improve agentic model behavior across coding, tool use, function calling, computer use, multi-agent collaboration, long-horizon tasks, factuality, instruction following, and calibrated reasoning. - Own end-to-end improvements to the post-training stack, including RL, data pipelines, graders, reward signals, evals, diagnostics, and model-behavior analysis. - Build evals and environments that expose the next set of model failures, then turn those failures into training data, product fixes, or new research directions. - Partner with Codex, API/platform, and ChatGPT product teams to understand what users need and translate product signal into model improvements. - Work on early-training and alignment interventions, including data mixtures, objectives, synthetic data, and eval loops that shape downstream agent behavior. - Help decide which integrations, capabilities, and fixes are ready for inclusion in major model runs. - Improve the machinery for large-scale training and launch: experiment velocity, reliability, observability, reproducibility, cost, latency, and production readiness. - Take on cross-functional projects that touch model training, product infrastructure, and the production agent harness, such as multi-agent systems or training directly against production-like environments. - Debug hard failures in shipped or near-shipped models and turn messy qualitative behavior into concrete hypotheses, experiments, and fixes. You might thrive in this role if you - Have strong technical fundamentals in machine learning, software engineering, systems, statistics, or a related field, and can learn quickly across the parts you have not worked in before. - Have hands-on experience with LLMs, RL, RLHF/RLAIF, post-training, evals, graders, synthe

This is a high-agency role for people who want their work to land directly in frontier models. IN THIS ROLE, YOU MIGHT - Design and run experiments that improve agentic model behavior for complex software and plugins.. - Own end-to-end improvements to the post-training stack, including RL, data pipelines, graders, reward signals, evals, diagnostics, and model-behavior analysis. - Build evals and environments that expose the next set of model failures, then turn those failures into training data, product fixes, or new research directions. - Partner with Codex and ChatGPT product teams to understand what users need and translate product signal into model improvements. - Work on early-training and alignment interventions, including data mixtures, objectives, synthetic data, and eval loops that shape downstream agent behavior. - Help decide which integrations, capabilities, and fixes are ready for inclusion in major model runs. - Improve the machinery for large-scale training and launch: experiment velocity, reliability, observability, reproducibility, cost, latency, and production readiness. - Take on cross-functional projects that touch model training, product infrastructure, and the production agent harness, such as multi-agent systems or training directly against production-like environments. - Debug hard failures in shipped or near-shipped models and turn messy qualitative behavior into concrete hypotheses, experiments, and fixes. YOU MIGHT THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU - Have strong technical fundamentals in machine learning, software engineering, systems, statistics, or a related field, and can learn quickly across the parts you have not worked in before. - Have hands-on experience with LLMs, RL, RLHF/RLAIF, post-training, evals, graders, synthetic data, model training, coding agents, tool-using agents, or production ML systems. - Are excited by open-ended problems where the path is unclear, the signal is noisy, and the right answer requires both research taste and
Agent Post-Training, Context Research
ABOUT THE TEAM The Agent Post-Training team creates the frontier agents OpenAI ships to the world. We are training the models behind our agents in Codex, ChatGPT, the API, and other frontier products: persistent, proactive intelligence that can operate computers, collaborate with people and other agents, and expand what people and organizations can imagine, attempt, and achieve. We define what the next generation of agents should be able to do, build the training signal that teaches those abilities, and run the experiments that make them real. Our work spans coding, tool use, computer use, multi-agent coordination, long-horizon execution, factuality, instruction following, calibrated reasoning, and taste. Our team is where new model capabilities get made. We build the data, environments, graders, training methods, and feedback loops that shape what OpenAI's next agents can do, then carry those capabilities through major training runs and into the products people use. ABOUT THE ROLE We believe that the final enabler for AGI is spending compute on context. As a Context Researcher on Agent Post-Training, you will scale compute spent on context. You will get to work in our frontier training stack on enabling the next paradigm of model training with a clear product interface for iterative deployment (Codex Chronicle). You will work with researchers, engineers, product teams, infrastructure teams, and safety/alignment partners to decide what should go into major model runs, measure whether it worked, and ship improvements into products used by real people. This is a high-agency role for people who want their work to land directly in frontier models. IN THIS ROLE, YOU MIGHT - Design and run experiments that improve scaling of compute on context. - Own end-to-end improvements to the post-training stack, including RL, data pipelines, graders, reward signals, evals, diagnostics, and model-behavior analysis. - Build evals and environments that expose the next set of model failures, then turn those failures into training data, product fixes, or new research directions. - Partner with Codex and ChatGPT product teams to understand what users need and translate product signal into model improvements. - Work on early-training and alignment interventions, including data mixtures, objectives, synthetic data, and eval loops that shape downstream agent behavior. - Help decide which integrations, capabilities, and fixes are ready for inclusion in major model runs. - Improve the machinery for large-scale training and launch: experiment velocity, reliability, observability, reproducibility, cost, latency, and production readiness. - Take on cross-functional projects that touch model training, product infrastructure, and the production agent harness, such as multi-agent systems or training directly against production-like environments. - Debug hard failures in shipped or near-shipped models and turn messy qualitative behavior into concrete hypotheses, experiments, and fixes.

You have opinions about what makes an agent useful, reliable, honest, tasteful, and easy to work with. - Can move from a vague behavioral problem to a concrete experiment: define the hypothesis, build the pipeline, run the model, analyze the result, and decide what to do next. - Are comfortable working across research, product, infrastructure, data
