Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.
We are seeking an innovative Research Engineer to lead the introduction of new interaction modes for Claude, our cutting-edge AI assistant, by combining expertise in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Design, and ML Research. This role presents an exciting opportunity to shape the future of AI interaction and create more intuitive and user-friendly experiences. If you are passionate about pushing the boundaries of human-AI interaction and creating more natural and intuitive experiences, we'd love to hear from you. Join us in shaping the future of conversational AI at Anthropic!
- Designing and experimenting with novel interaction modes for Claude across various product surfaces, including mobile and desktop apps
- Developing appropriate fine-tuning methods to seamlessly integrate interaction modes into Claude's natural language processing capabilities
- Conducting user research on claude.ai customers to gain insights from real-world usage patterns and inform design decisions
- Collaborating with product engineering and design teams to implement new interaction modes into production
- Possess exceptional front-end software engineering skills, with proficiency in technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue.js)
- Are proficient in Python programming and have experience developing software that utilizes large language models like Claude
- Have some experience with fine-tuning large language models or other machine learning techniques (we’ll teach you - we don’t need you to be an expert!)
- Have a user-centric approach and a keen interest in understanding user behavior and needs
- Are results-oriented, with a bias towards flexibility and impact
- Enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams, including researchers, engineers, and designers
- Care about the societal impacts of your work and strive to create inclusive and accessible AI experiences
- Have excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Have a background in HCI, UI/UX design, or a related field
- Designing and conducting user research studies to evaluate interaction modes and gather feedback
- Developing interactive prototypes or proof-of-concepts to test and iterate on new interaction ideas
- Collaborating with product teams to quickly prototype and deliver innovative solutions
- Staying up-to-date with the latest research and trends in HCI, AI interaction design, and natural language interfaces
The expected salary range for this position is:
Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

* This compensation and benefits information is based on Anthropic’s good faith estimate for this position as of the date of publication and may be modified in the future. Employees based outside of the UK or US will receive a different benefits package. The level of pay within the range will depend on a variety of job-related factors, including where you place on our internal performance ladders, which is based on factors including past work experience, relevant education, and performance on our interviews or in a work trial.
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.
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.
