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.

The Editorial Publishing team is looking for a team member to write, edit, and review material that Anthropic publishes about its own systems, including model cards, risk reports, safety and security reports, and other technical material. You’ll have a front-row seat to some of the most consequential material a frontier AI lab produces, working cross-functionally with teams like Alignment, Interpretability, Safeguards, Policy, and Legal to produce rigorous reports on tight timelines.

You’ll be describing model behavior, training environments, evaluation methods, and their limitations, and must be legible to both technical experts and general-public readers. The ideal candidate brings clarity and structure to complex writing and editing processes involving many stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Write and edit technical public-facing reports and blogs for Anthropic
• Takes pieces from inception to publication on short deadlines
• Solicit input from partner teams across Anthropic, while preserving narrative clarity

Minimum Qualifications

• Strong alignment with our mission and experience working in AI safety
• Strong writing and editing skills, with a portfolio of published work that demonstrates an ability to explain technical subjects to non-specialist readers
• Familiarity with how frontier AI systems are trained, evaluated, and deployed
• A track record of shipping accurate, polished work on short deadlines and under pressure
• Ability to work with subject matter experts to understand technical concepts and fact-check assertions
• Strong judgement about how to incorporate legal, policy, and reputational considerations into the work
• Comfort taking ownership in a fast-moving environment where processes are still taking shape

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience writing or editing safety or security reports, postmortems, transparency reports, or similar public disclosures
• Experience as a technical writer or editor at a technology company or research lab
• Comfort working in a content management system (CMS) and publishing web content
• Experience using AI tools like Claude to streamline editorial processes

Annual Salary

The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.

$265,000—$295,000 USD

Logistics

Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience

Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

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.

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.
