About the Company

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team and believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. We work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts and value impact - advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI.

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.
