Location-based hybrid policy: US 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 effort to get you into the United States, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. Compensation and Benefits*
Anthropic’s compensation package consists of three elements: salary, equity, and benefits. We are committed to pay fairness and aim for these three elements collectively to be highly competitive with market rates.
Equity - On top of this position's salary (listed above), equity will be a major component of the total compensation. We aim to offer higher-than-average equity compensation for a company of our size, and communicate equity amounts at the time of offer issuance.
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance for you and all your dependents.
~22 weeks of paid parental leave.
~ Unlimited PTO – most staff take between 4-6 weeks each year, sometimes more
~ Stipends for education, home office improvements, commuting, and wellness.
~ Daily lunches and snacks in our office.
~ Relocation support for those moving to the Bay Area.

Private health, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependents.
~ Pension contribution (matching 4% of your salary).
~21 weeks of paid parental leave.
~ Unlimited PTO – most staff take between 4-6 weeks each year, sometimes more
~ Health cash plan.

* This compensation and benefits information is based on Anthropic’s good faith estimate for this position as of the date of publication and may be modified in the future. Employees based outside of the UK or US will receive a different benefits package. The level of pay within the range will depend on a variety of job-related factors, including where you place on our internal performance ladders, which is based on factors including past work experience, relevant education, and performance on our interviews or in a work trial.
And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills. We do not have boundaries between engineering and research, and we expect all of our technical staff to contribute to both as needed.
GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
