About the role

Applied AI Engineer role within Anthropic's Beneficial Deployments, Life Sciences team, partnering with nonprofits, research institutes and public-sector funders to deploy Claude for clinical development in rare and neglected diseases and to support drug repurposing efforts.

Responsibilities

  • Work with partners' trial teams to design, review and prioritise clinical trials with Claude: drafting and reviewing protocols and statistical analysis plans, and flagging enrolment and operational risks.
  • Build and validate tools that help partners find new uses for approved, mostly off-patent medicines in rare and neglected diseases, from literature, omics and patient data, and assemble the evidence so the partner can decide the next step.
  • Build reusable infrastructure other institutions can adopt (MCP servers for biomedical data sources, agent skills, benchmarks grounded in real clinical questions), and feed what you learn in the field back to product, engineering and research.

Qualifications

  • Hands-on clinical development experience: designing, running or analysing clinical trials, or assessing clinical evidence to decide which programmes go forward (due diligence or asset evaluation). Drug repurposing work is a strong plus, as is contributing to a regulatory submission for a trial.
  • Comfort with biomedical data: literature, omics, and real-world patient data (health records, registries, claims), ideally inside secure or trusted research environments.
  • Strong engineering skills: ability to take an LLM-powered tool from prototype to production code, and write evals to measure it.
  • Experience working directly with external partners or customers in a technical role.
  • Clear written and verbal communication: docs usable by other institutes and trusted results for clinicians.
  • Scrappy mentality: comfortable in ambiguity, multi-tasking across hats to deliver for a partner.
