The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

Our Research Tooling sits at the intersection of almost every technical group at Anthropic. You’ll work with research teams to incorporate their innovations into our production finetuning pipeline, product teams to help us iterate quickly on customer-oriented model improvements, and infrastructure teams to make sure our training runs and data pipelines are as efficient as possible.

What it asks for · 3

• Believe that advanced AI systems could have a transformative effect on the world and are interested in helping make sure that transformation goes well.
• Are an experienced manager (at least 2 years) and actively enjoy people management.
• Are a quick study: this team sits at the intersection of a large number of different complex technical systems that you’ll need to understand (at a high level) to be effective.

Also a plus

• Experience working with research teams, especially as part of a “research to production” pipeline
• Strong people management experience: Coaching, performance evaluation, mentorship, career development
• Strong project management skills: Prioritization, communicating across team/org boundaries

What the job covers
