About the role

Versatile engineers to join Anthropic Labs, bridging cutting-edge AI research with real-world applications by rapidly prototyping and validating new experiences, collaborating with researchers and users, and shaping product direction.

Responsibilities

  • Rapidly prototype full-stack applications that showcase emerging AI capabilities, shipping early and often to maximize learning
  • Collaborate closely with research teams to understand new model capabilities and translate them into intuitive user experiences
  • Work directly with internal test users and external partners to gather feedback, iterate quickly, and validate (or invalidate) product concepts
  • Design and run structured experiments to test hypotheses, balancing creative exploration with rigorous evaluation
  • Generate documentation and insights to guide successful prototypes toward full product teams
  • Advocate for user experience and product considerations early in the research process
  • Provide feedback to research teams about model effectiveness and where capabilities can be improved
  • Flexibly contribute across Labs initiatives based on organizational priorities and emerging opportunities—context from one project should inform the next

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience building full-stack applications, with a track record of zero-to-one work in startup or startup-like environments
  • Thrive in ambiguity and are energized by uncertainty
  • Have a hacker mentality: high agency, bias toward shipping, comfort with technical debt when appropriate
  • Are deeply user-centric and validate ideas with actual users
  • Able to articulate learnings from failed or killed projects and treat work as experiments
  • Hold strong opinions loosely and adapt based on evidence
  • Are a generalist who can transition between problem spaces as priorities shift
  • Work independently with good judgment about what matters
  • Strong technical skills across modern web development stacks (React, Node.js, Python) and comfortable with APIs, databases, and cloud technologies
  • Effective communicator who translates complex AI capabilities into intuitive experiences
  • Care about societal impacts and ethics of work
