Anthropic’s Finetuning Infrastructure team builds the systems that support our large-scale distributed finetuning runs. As manager of the team, you’ll support a team of machine learning and distributed systems experts, with the goal of making these systems highly efficient, supporting fast iteration on model development, and evolving the infrastructure continuously to incorporate new research advances.
Our finetuning infrastructure sits at the intersection of almost every technical group at Anthropic. You’ll work 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 are as efficient as possible.
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 (e.g. postmortem review, incident response, on-call rotations) that help the team operate effectively.
- Coach and support your reports in understanding, and pursuing, their professional growth.
- Run the team’s recruiting efforts efficiently, ensuring we can grow as quickly as we need through a period of rapid growth.
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 1 year) 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:
- 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.
Annual Salary (USD)
The expected salary range for this position is $320k - $600k.
Logistics
Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in our office at least 25% of the time.
Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
US visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate; operations roles are especially difficult to support. But if we make you an offer, we will make every effort to get you into the United States, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
