Staff+ Software Engineer, STEM
Anthropic · San Francisco, CA | New York City, NY | Seattle, WA

## **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 mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We believe powerful AI can compress a century of scientific progress into a decade. Bringing Claude to scientists and engineers is a big part of building toward that future.

Claude has already helped [uncover a novel enzyme system](https://www.anthropic.com/research/claude-discovers-novel-enzyme-system), [formalize Fermat’s Last Theorem](https://www.anthropic.com/research/formalizing-fermats-last-theorem), design [more efficient quantum circuits](https://www.anthropic.com/research/designing-efficient-quantum-circuits), and compute [new results in theoretical physics](https://www.anthropic.com/research/yes-claude-can-do-nine-loops) — and this is just the beginning. You’ll figure out what scientists and engineers need from Claude and build it from 0→1.

You’ll be a technical leader with a high degree of autonomy, helping clear the path to harnessing scientific AGI. You’ll work with internal experts and industry partners. Initiatives like our [AI for Science Program](https://www.anthropic.com/news/ai-for-science-program) will connect you with researchers we support in high-impact work across scientific fields.

## Key responsibilities

- Build products that unlock scientific discovery
- Partner with product management, design, and go-to-market to make complex workflows, like modeling and simulation, simple to run with Claude
- Work closely with research to make models better at science and engineering
- Spend time with users in academia and industry to decide what to build next
- Own technical design and delivery end to end, shipping product quickly rather than just executing a spec

## Minimum qualifications

- Software engineering experience, including owning the technical design and delivery of products
- Experience building products from 0 to 1 in fast-moving environments, and setting technical direction with limited precedent to lean on
- Experience building AI products, and knowledge of what it takes to turn model capabilities into applications people actually use
- Ability to think holistically about user experience and craft tools that are a pleasure for scientists and engineers to use
- Comfort working directly with technical domain experts and customers, and turning what you learn into product
- Enjoyment of solving hard problems together with researchers, scientists, and other engineers

## Preferred qualifications

- 8+ years of software engineering experience, ideally with 2+ years at a Staff or equivalent technical leadership level
- Background in math, physics, materials science, mechanical or electrical engineering, or another science or engineering field
- Experience building software for scientists or engineers, such as CAD, simulation, electronics design, or scientific computing tools
- Experience as a founder or early engineer at a company building tools for scientists or engineers
- Experience working with research teams to improve domain-specific model capabilities, including evalu
