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.
You'll own strategic silicon sourcing for Anthropic's global data center footprint, working across the components that determine what our infrastructure can do and when it can do it: CPUs, memory (DRAM and HBM), and the other semiconductors that sit at the heart of every platform we deploy. You'll be the commercial owner who makes sure the right silicon is allocated, committed, and landed at the right site at the right time, on terms that hold up across programs and across market cycles.
You'll work day-to-day with Anthropic engineering, our data center operator partners, silicon vendors, OEMs, ODMs, and integrators. You'll be the bridge between platform roadmaps and the supply base, securing allocation on constrained parts, negotiating long-term supply and capacity agreements, managing vendor performance, and optimizing for lead time, cost, and on-time delivery against an aggressive deployment roadmap. You'll build a deep view of the silicon market, including packaging capacity, memory pricing cycles, and vendor roadmaps, and turn it into sourcing strategies that protect Anthropic's supply and its cost structure.
In any given week you might be locking in CPU and memory allocation for a new platform, supporting NPI BOMs with qualified alternates, expediting constrained components, chasing down a lead-time slip with a silicon vendor, running a competitive process across processor or memory suppliers, developing supplier scorecards, negotiating multi-year supply agreements, or partnering with engineering to keep an in-flight program on track. You'll partner closely with Claude throughout, including vendor benchmarking, contract analysis, scenario and cost modeling, and drafting clean negotiation records.

We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

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.
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.
