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 Standards team keeps Anthropic’s voice clear, accurate, and consistent. We maintain and evolve Anthropic’s editorial style guide and ensure that writers and editors at Anthropic have the tools they need to produce exceptional writing that makes our mission legible to the world.
As Standards Editor, you’ll be responsible for the content that shapes how many people first encounter Anthropic. You’ll edit news, announcements, and research posts, and write and refine content for a range of brand surfaces. You’ll also own our standards and processes for getting work published.
This is a role for someone who puts a premium on craft—who can match a draft to house style without losing a writer’s intent, distill a complex announcement into clear and compelling prose, and move a piece from draft to publication with nary a stray comma. You’ll own projects end-to-end with support and guidance from the team, work closely with and learn from experienced writers and editors, and contribute to the templates and norms that help all of Anthropic’s writers and editors publish faster and more consistently.

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.
