Product Management, Human Data Platform

Visa Hunt; San Francisco (CA); Hybrid; USD 305,000 - 385,000; Full time

Job summary

Anthropic's Human Data Platform team builds systems to collect data that improves models, including infrastructure to simulate environments and data-vendor tools. You’ll work with an engineering team to prototype quickly, decide where to invest, and ensure tooling scales as Claude's real-world usage grows.

You will collaborate with research, data ops, and vendors, translating findings into clear build priorities and KPIs that drive measurable gains in model evaluation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent in a relevant field.
• Experience collaborating with AI/ML research teams is a plus.
• Ability to translate research insights into product requirements.

Responsibilities

• Own the product direction for human data tooling with clear prioritization.
• Partner with engineering to scope and ship quickly in a prototyping environment.
• Develop understanding of research and training approaches to identify high-leverage tooling investments.
• Identify patterns across requests and push toward reusable infrastructure.
• Attend crowd worker and vendor sessions to understand pain points.
• Define and track KPIs: time-to-launch, data quality, and model evaluation impact.

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

Anthropic's Human Data Platform team builds systems designed to collect data that improves our models. This includes the infrastructure to simulate real-world environments and tasks, novel interfaces for data vendors to use, and the pipelines that enable researchers to gather high-quality data at scale. As Claude's real-world usage evolves, so do our data needs — and our tooling has to keep pace. You'll work alongside an engineering team that's quickly prototyping and shipping, help make smart bets about where to focus, and ensure we're investing in tooling that scales. You'll work across research teams, data ops, and external vendors, translating what you learn into clear direction on what to build next.

Responsibilities

• Own the product direction for our human data tooling, with clear prioritization across labeling interfaces, infrastructure investments, data quality, and operational visibility
• Partner with engineering to scope and ship quickly, staying close to the work in a fast-moving prototyping environment
• Develop a deep understanding of research and training approaches to identify where tooling investments will have the highest leverage
• Identify patterns across one-off requests and push toward reusable infrastructure that compounds over time
• Sit in on crowd worker and vendor sessions to systematically understand pain points
• Define and track outcome-based KPIs: time-to-launch for new data collection projects, end-to-end data quality scores, and measurable impact on model evaluation scores

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 drawn to ambiguous, high-stakes environments where you’ll play a big role in defining the product strategy
• Shipped products where they had to deeply understand technical constraints, not just translate requirements
• Experience working directly with research teams, ideally in AI/ML contexts
• Are equally comfortable talking to crowdworkers about their workflow and to research teams about data quality methodology
• 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
• Have an interest in how humans interact with AI systems and how to design experiences that elicit high-quality data

Strong Candidates May Also Have

• Experience building data collection tools, annotation platforms, or human-in-the-loop pipelines
• Experience working with researchers who are internal users/customers
• Good instincts and an eye for intuitive user experiences, particularly those involving complex UI interactions or annotation workflows
• Strong project management skills: prioritization, communicating across team/org boundaries

The ideal candidate has the following virtues/values

• Intellectual curiosity without ego: Comfortable not knowing things and asking questions to learn
• Autonomous learning: Able to independently figure out how systems work and develop expertise quickly
• Researcher EQ: Deep understanding of how researchers think and what motivates them
• Product creativity: Ability to see novel product opportunities emerging from research capabilities
• Founder mentality: Track record of doing whatever it takes to ship highly technical products

Annual Salary

$305,000 — $385,000 USD
