The opportunity

At Anthropic, we're building AI systems that are safe, beneficial, and transformative. Our mission is to develop AI that benefits humanity, and we believe the most powerful capabilities emerge when we thoughtfully bridge the gap between research breakthroughs and real-world applications.

What you'll do

  • Build the agent harnesses and research loops that let Claude carry a problem: from literature review through hypothesis generation, simulation, analysis, and design iteration

  • Connect scientific computing and simulation tools (finite element, CFD,: electromagnetic, or molecular modeling codes, for example) so Claude can drive them reliably and at scale

  • Design and build evaluations that tell us whether Claude's work is actually: right, and be honest about where it isn't

  • Sit with scientists and engineers at partner organizations to learn their: problem, data, tools, and constraints, and turn open-ended questions into well-specified, verifiable tasks with clear success criteria

  • Prototype with partners, ship pilots into their workflows, and cut anything: that doesn't move the problem forward

  • Turn what works in one engagement into shared tools, reusable components, and: documented processes the next one can start from

What they're looking for

  • Be the technical voice on how Claude performs on science and engineering: work, explaining results, limits, and tradeoffs clearly to researchers, engineering leads, and non-technical stakeholders alike
  • Partner with our research and product teams to share where models fall short: on science and engineering work, and help shape what comes next
