Software Engineer, Anthropic

• Derive joy from hard work and the act of creation
• Have shipped LLM-native features or applications
• Are experienced enough to build big features independently, and make great architectural decisions along the way
• Are self-sufficient end-to-end: you can go from idea to production without needing a designer, PM, or architect to unblock you
• Move fast without cutting corners: you hold a high quality bar and know how to make smart tradeoffs under time pressure
• Engage directly with users and criticism: you’re comfortable talking to internal customers, hearing hard feedback, and incorporating it quickly
• Are genuinely mission-driven: you care about the intersection of AI and people practices, not just the technical puzzle
• Are a collaborative, supportive teammate: you bring people along, communicate clearly about tradeoffs, and make the people around you better
• Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience
• Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices
• Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this
• We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification
