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.
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 in which to collaborate with colleagues.

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.

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
,
Activation Atlases
, and
Building Blocks
.
We aim to create a solid foundation for mechanistically understanding neural networks and making them safe (see our
vision post
). In the short term, 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
found millions of features in Sonnet, one of our production language models, represents progress in this direction. In our most recent work, we develop methods that allow us to build circuits using features and use this 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 Haiku 3.5, one of our production models.” This is a stepping stone towards our overall goal of mechanistically understanding neural networks.
We often collaborate with teams across Anthropic, such as Alignment Science and Societal Impacts to use our work to make Anthropic’s models safer. We also have an
Interpretability Architectures project
that involves collaborating with Pretraining.
Responsibilities:
Develop methods for understanding LLMs by reverse engineering algorithms learned in their weights
Design and run robust experiments, both quickly in toy scenarios and at scale in large models
Create and analyze new interpretability features and circuits to better understand how models work.
Build infrastructure for running experiments and visualizing results
Work with colleagues to communicate results internally and publicly
You may be a good fit if you:
Have a strong track record of scientific research (in any field), and have done
some
work on Interpretability
Enjoy team science – working collaboratively to make big discoveries
Are comfortable with messy experimental science. We're inventing the field as we work, and the first textbook is years away
You view research and engineering as two sides of the same coin. Every team member writes code, designs and runs experiments, and interprets results
You can clearly articulate and discuss the motivations behind your work, and teach us about what you've learned. You like writing up and communicating your results, even when they're null

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 application
Resolve scaling and efficiency bottlenecks through profiling, optimization, and close collaboration with peer infrastructure teams
Design tools, abstractions, and platforms that enable researchers to rapidly experiment without hitting engineering barriers
Help bring interpretability research into production safety audits - with real deadlines and high reliability expectations
Work across the stack - from model internals and accelerator-level optimization to user-facing research tooling
You may be a good fit if you:
Have 5-10+ years of experience building software
Are highly proficient in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Rust, Go, Java) and productive with Python
Are extremely curious about unfamiliar domains; can quickly learn and put that knowledge to work, e.g. diving into new layers of the stack to find bottlenecks
Have a strong ability to prioritize the most impactful work and are comfortable operating with ambiguity and questioning assumptions
Prefer fast-moving collaborative projects to extensive solo efforts
Are curious about interpretability research and its role in AI safety (though no research experience is required!)
Care about the societal impacts and ethics of your work
Are comfortable working closely with researchers, translating research needs into engineering solutions.
Strong candidates may also have experience with:
Optimizing the performance of large-scale distributed systems
Language modeling fundamentals with transformers
High Performance LLM optimization: memory management, compute efficiency, parallelism strategies, inference throughput optimization
Working hands-on in a mainstream ML stack - PyTorch/CUDA on GPUs or JAX/XLA on TPUs
Collaborating closely with researchers and building tooling to support research teams; or directly performed research with complex engineering challenges
Representative Projects:
Building
Garcon
, a tool that allows researchers to easily instrument LLMs to extract internal activations
Designing and optimizing a pipeline to efficiently collect petabytes of transformer activations and shuffle them
Profiling and optimizing ML training jobs, including multi-GPU parallelism and memory optimization
Building a steered inference system that applies targeted interventions to model internals at scale (conceptually similar to
Golden Gate Claude
but for safety research)

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.

About the role
Reinforcement learning (RL) is how Claude learns to reason, write code, and act autonomously over long horizons. This role sits on the team that builds and owns the RL training system: the system that trains our production models and that researchers across Anthropic run their experiments on. The team works closely with research teams across the company on the science and engineering of making RL work at scale.
As a Research Engineer on the team, you'll work at the center of RL at Anthropic. You'll have a direct view of how RL training behaves at the frontier because the system you own sits underneath both production and research runs. You will use it with collaborators across research teams to understand what is working, what is fragile, and where the next improvements are.
Key responsibilities
Build, own, and improve the core RL training system that serves Anthropic's production and research runs
Work across the stack (orchestration, environments, training, inference, evaluation) wherever the system needs it
Study how RL training behaves at scale and contribute to the research that improves it, in collaboration with teams across Anthropic
Implement new training methods as stable, fast, well-tested code
Improve the speed and efficiency of RL training and evaluation through profiling, optimization, and benchmarking
Make the system easier for researchers to build on, through clean abstractions, clear APIs, and automated testing
Debug hard problems across the stack, from a run that has quietly drifted to a distributed systems failure that only shows up at scale
Communicate results clearly, in writing and in discussion
Minimum qualifications
Proficiency in Python and experience working in, debugging, and improving a large ML codebase
Experience with large-scale machine learning training (reinforcement learning, pretraining, or post-training) or the systems that support it
Experience with at least one modern ML framework (JAX, PyTorch, or similar)
Ability to design controlled experiments and reach conclusions you and others can trust
Ability to balance research exploration with engineering implementation
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Care about the societal impacts of your work and are committed to developing safe and beneficial systems
Preferred qualifications
Experience with reinforcement learning for large language models, in research, production, or both
Experience studying training at scale: scaling behavior, training dynamics, or method development on large models
Experience with large-scale distributed training systems
Familiarity with LLM architectures and training methodologies
Experience working close to a frontier training run
Experience profiling and optimizing the performance of ML workloads
Experience with RL environments, evaluations, or sandboxed code execution
Experience with Rust or C++

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.

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 ML Performance and Scaling team trains our production pretrained models, work that directly shapes the company's future and our mission to build safe, beneficial AI systems. As a Research Engineer on this team, you'll ensure our frontier models train reliably, efficiently, and at scale. This is demanding, high-impact work that requires both deep technical expertise and a genuine passion for the craft of large-scale ML systems.
This role lives at the boundary between research and engineering. You'll work across our entire production training stack: performance optimization, hardware debugging, experimental design, and launch coordination. During launches, the team works in tight lockstep, responding to production issues that can't wait for tomorrow.
Responsibilities:
Own critical aspects of our production pretraining pipeline, including model operations, performance optimization, observability, and reliability
Debug and resolve complex issues across the full stack—from hardware errors and networking to training dynamics and evaluation infrastructure
Design and run experiments to improve training efficiency, reduce step time, increase uptime, and enhance model performance
Respond to on-call incidents during model launches, diagnosing problems quickly and coordinating solutions across teams
Build and maintain production logging, monitoring dashboards, and evaluation infrastructure
Add new capabilities to the training codebase, such as long context support or novel architectures
Collaborate closely with teammates across SF and London, as well as with Tokens, Architectures, and Systems teams
Contribute to the team's institutional knowledge by documenting systems, debugging approaches, and lessons learned
You May Be a Good Fit If You:
Have hands-on experience training large language models, or deep expertise with JAX, TPU, PyTorch, or large-scale distributed systems
Genuinely enjoy both research and engineering work—you'd describe your ideal split as roughly 50/50 rather than heavily weighted toward one or the other
Are excited about being on-call for production systems, working long days during launches, and solving hard problems under pressure
Thrive when working on whatever is most impactful, even if that changes day-to-day based on what the production model needs
Excel at debugging complex, ambiguous problems across multiple layers of the stack
Communicate clearly and collaborate effectively, especially when coordinating across time zones or during high-stress incidents
Are passionate about the work itself and want to refine your craft as a research engineer
Care about the societal impacts of AI and responsible scaling
Strong Candidates May Also Have:
Previous experience training LLM’s or working extensively with JAX/TPU, PyTorch, or other ML frameworks at scale
Contributed to open-source LLM frameworks (e.g., open_lm, llm-foundry, mesh-transformer-jax)
Published research on model training, scaling laws, or ML systems
Experience with production ML systems, observability tools, or evaluation infrastructure
Background as a systems engineer, quant, or in other roles requiring both technical depth and operational excellence
What Makes This Role Unique:
This is not a typical research engineering role. The work is highly operational—you'll be deeply involved in keeping our production models training smoothly, which means being responsive to incidents, flexible about priorities, and comfortable with uncertainty. During launches, the team often works extended hours and may need to respond to issues on evenings and weekends.
However, this operational intensity comes with extraordinary learning opportunities. You'll gain hands-on experience with some of the largest, most sophisticated training runs in the industry. You'll work alongside world-class researchers and engineers, and the institutional knowledge you build will compound in ways that can't be easily transferred. For people who thrive on this type of work, it's uniquely rewarding.
We're building a close-knit team of people who genuinely care about doing excellent work together. If you're someone who wants to be part of training the models that will define the future of AI—and you're excited about the full reality of what that entails—we'd love to hear from you.
Location:
This role requires working in-office 5 days per week in London.
Deadline to apply:
None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
