Anthropic is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join their Employee Acceleration Tools team, focusing on building internal tools that enhance productivity across various departments. This role combines full-stack development with a strong emphasis on user experience and operational excellence.
The position offers an opportunity to work on business-critical applications that support Anthropic's mission of creating safe and beneficial AI systems. As part of a Seattle-based team, you'll be instrumental in developing tools that enable teams to work efficiently and securely at scale, often incorporating Claude (Anthropic's AI system) to enhance tool capabilities.
The ideal candidate brings 4-10 years of production software development experience, with expertise in modern web technologies like React, TypeScript, and Node.js. You'll need to demonstrate strong communication skills, empathy for users, and the ability to balance technical trade-offs while maintaining high standards for security and reliability.
Working at Anthropic means joining a collaborative environment where research and impact are prioritized over smaller, specific puzzles. The company approaches AI research as an empirical science, similar to physics and biology. You'll be part of a public benefit corporation that offers competitive compensation ($320,000-$405,000), flexible working arrangements, and comprehensive benefits.
The role requires at least 25% in-office presence, with a preference for Seattle-based candidates. Anthropic welcomes applications from candidates of all backgrounds and actively encourages those from underrepresented groups to apply, recognizing the importance of diverse perspectives in shaping the future of AI technology.
