FAQ

Should I apply for a job at Anthropic?

Teams in my department are usually hiring technical staff with extremely strong industry or open-source engineering experience and some context on AI alignment. When we aren’t hiring, neighboring teams usually are hiring for similar profiles. If you’re interested, just apply to roles on the Careers page that appeal to you.

I can’t provide pre-interview advice to job candidates, and I can only give referrals for people who I have worked with directly for multiple months, so it won’t generally be helpful to reach out to me before applying.

Will you hire me at NYU?

I am not currently recruiting or supervising research students, teaching assistants, visitors, or staff at NYU.

Will you {speak at my event, review for my conference, do an interview for my story, help me answer my research question}?

I receive far more of these requests than I’m able to accept or reply to. Please don’t be offended if you don’t hear back.

Can I send you my AI safety research idea or result?

If we haven’t previously been in touch, and you’re not narrowly pointing out an error in recent or prominent published work of mine, no. Cold-emailing me is not a good way to bring ideas to the attention of Anthropic, and we generally receive huge volumes of similar results and proposals that we are not able to respond to.

Will you join my company?

No.

Will you take on a paid project with me?

No. I’m not currently open to paid consulting or to new sponsored research arrangements.
