The Computer Use team focuses on teaching Claude to see, use, and understand computer interfaces. As a Research Engineer on the team, you'll work on advancing our models' ability to reliably and safely operate real software. We're looking for someone who's genuinely excited about both the research and the product sides of computer use.

What it asks for · 4

  • Software engineering experience and proficiency in Python
  • Experience training, fine-tuning, or evaluating machine learning models
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative working style
  • Care about the societal impacts and safety of your work

Also a plus

  • Experience training models for computer use or other agentic capabilities
  • Experience with reinforcement learning, particularly in long-horizon or sparse-reward settings
  • Familiarity with multimodal model training
  • Experience building evaluations or benchmarks for agentic systems
  • Experience building reinforcement learning environments, simulation systems, or large-scale ML infrastructure
  • Experience working closely with product teams to drive model improvements

What the job covers

  • Design and run experiments to improve Claude's perception and agentic capabilities
  • Develop robust, reliable evaluation frameworks for measuring our models' ability to complete complex computer tasks
  • Build and improve computer use and vision reinforcement learning training environments
  • Create pipelines and tools to test and validate complex RL environments
  • Collaborate with teams across the model training and infrastructure stack to improve our production training setup
  • Partner with product teams to bring research advances into production

How this page was made

An automated read of a public job posting, fetched August 24, 2026 and last changed by Anthropic on August 21, 2026. Every list above is pulled from the posting’s own sentences — nothing rewritten, nothing added, no judgment about the role or the company. Counts and seniority are read off the text by rule, so they can be wrong where the posting is unusual. The original is the only thing that binds. Openings close without warning; check the source before spending an evening on it.
