Anthropic Staff+ Software Engineer at Anthropic leads technical design and delivery of AI products that unlock scientific discovery. This role partners with product, design, and research teams to build tools for scientists and engineers using Claude.

Responsibilities

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, formalize Fermat’s Last Theorem, design more efficient quantum circuits, and compute new results in theoretical physics — 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 will connect you with researchers we support in high-impact work across scientific fields.
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
