San Francisco, California, United States Anthropic Limited Full time
About the Role:

As a Senior Technical Lead at Anthropic Limited, you will be responsible for supporting a team of machine learning and distributed systems experts in building high-efficiency systems that support our large-scale, distributed finetuning runs. The ideal candidate will have experience working with research teams, especially as part of a "research to production" pipeline.

The team sits at the intersection of almost every technical group at Anthropic, requiring strong project management skills, prioritization, and communication across team/org boundaries. You will work closely with research teams to incorporate their innovations into our production finetuning pipeline, product teams to help us iterate quickly on customer-oriented model improvements, and infrastructure teams to make sure our training runs and data pipelines are as efficient as possible.

In this role, you will design processes that help the team operate effectively, such as postmortem review, incident response, and on-call rotations. You will also coach and support your reports to understand and pursue their professional growth. Additionally, you will run the team's recruiting efforts efficiently, ensuring we can grow as quickly as we need through a period of rapid growth.

About Anthropic Limited:

Anthropics is an AI safety and research company working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our customers and society as a whole. Our interdisciplinary team has experience across ML, physics, policy, business, and product.

Responsibilities:
  • Prioritize the team's work in collaboration with the technical lead, research teams, and product teams to support fast iteration on research projects and training runs.
  • Design processes that help the team operate effectively.
  • Coach and support your reports to understand and pursue their professional growth.
  • Run the team's recruiting efforts efficiently.
You May Be a Good Fit If You:
  • Believe that advanced AI systems could have a transformative effect on the world and are interested in helping make sure that transformation goes well.
  • Are an experienced manager (at least 2 years) and actively enjoy people management.
  • Are a quick study: this team sits at the intersection of a large number of different complex technical systems that you'll need to understand (at a high level) to be effective.
Strong Candidates May Also Have:
  • Experience working with research teams, especially as part of a "research to production" pipeline.
  • Strong people management experience: Coaching, performance evaluation, mentorship, career development.
  • Strong project management skills: Prioritization, communicating across team/org boundaries.
  • Experience recruiting for your team: Predicting staffing needs, designing interview loops, evaluating candidates, and closing them.

Salary: $160,000 - $220,000 per year, depending on experience. Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
