Job Description: About Anthropic

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the role

We are looking for growth engineers to join our Claude.ai product team as founding members of our growth initiative. These key roles will help drive user acquisition, engagement, and retention through data-driven strategies and technical implementations. At Anthropic, we're not just building AI tools; we're reimagining how AI can enhance and expand its user base! As a founding member of the growth team, you will have a unique opportunity to shape our growth strategy from the ground up. You will work with a cross-functional team of engineers, data scientists, marketers, and product managers to design, implement, and optimize growth initiatives that scale our AI-powered tools and maximize their impact.

Responsibilities:

Develop and implement technical solutions to support user acquisition, activation, retention, and revenue growth

Design and execute A/B tests and experiments to optimize user onboarding, feature adoption, and overall product experience

Collaborate with product and marketing teams to identify growth opportunities and translate them into technical requirements

Implement tracking and attribution systems to understand user behavior and measure the effectiveness of growth initiatives

Contribute to the development of AI-powered personalization and recommendation systems to enhance user engagement

You might be a good fit if you:

Have 6+ years of experience as a software engineer, with a focus on growth engineering or related fields

Have strong practical coding skills, ideally in full-stack development, and experience with data analysis and experimentation frameworks

Take a data-driven approach to problem-solving, with a keen eye for identifying patterns and opportunities in user behavior and metrics

Are passionate about the potential of AI to reach and benefit a wide audience, and eager to tackle challenges in scaling AI products

Have 0 to 1 experience with a proclivity towards rapid experimentation and learning, while maintaining high standards for code quality and user experience

Thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and enjoy working closely with cross-functional partners and teammates

Strong candidates may also:

Have experience with machine learning and AI technologies, particularly in the context of personalization and recommendation systems

Have experience with product-led growth strategies and implementing viral loops

Have experience with user segmentation and cohort analysis

Possess a vision for the future of AI product growth and a drive to make that vision a reality

The expected salary range for this position is:
Annual Salary:
$300,000—$405,000 USD
Logistics

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. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

How we're different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. 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.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.

Come work with us!

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. 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.
