• Maintenir une connaissance approfondie des derniers développements en matière de capacités des LLM, de modèles de mise en œuvre et de piles technologiques de développement de produits d'IA.
• Établir des relations à long terme avec les clients et identifier de manière proactive de nouvelles opportunités de déploiement de l'IA tout au long du cycle de vie d'un engagement.
• Se déplacer fréquemment (25 à 50 %) sur les sites des clients afin de nouer des relations personnelles avec eux.
• Être un champion de la mission d'Anthropic sur le terrain.

Profil recherché :

• Vous avez plus de 8 ans d'expérience dans un poste technique en contact avec la clientèle, par exemple en tant qu'ingénieur en déploiement avancé, ou en tant qu'ingénieur logiciel avec une expérience de conseil. Les anciens fondateurs techniques sont également encouragés à poser leur candidature.
• Vous avez de l'expérience en production avec des LLM, incluant l'ingénierie avancée des prompts, le développement d'agents, les cadres d'évaluation et le déploiement à grande échelle.
• Vous avez de solides compétences en programmation avec une maîtrise de Python (et idéalement d'un ou plusieurs autres langages comme TypeScript, Java, etc.) et une expérience de l'expédition d'applications de production.

Haute capacité d'action, capable de surmonter l'ambiguïté qui caractérise les organisations complexes.

• Esprit de coopération élevé pour la collaboration inter-organisationnelle, équilibrant les priorités concurrentes avec intégrité.
• Passion pour la promotion de systèmes d'IA sûrs et bénéfiques à travers des applications techniques créatives.
• Solides compétences en communication pour mener des discussions exploratoires avec les clients et transmettre des concepts techniques à divers intervenants tout en conservant une attitude humble et collaborative.
• Une expérience dans le domaine des services financiers, des soins de santé/sciences de la vie ou d'un autre secteur d'activité est un atout.
• Une expérience des systèmes informatiques d'entreprise et/ou des modèles de déploiement de l'IA est un atout.

Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

Required field of study:  A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience

Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship:  We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, 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.

Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links-visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.

How we're different

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.
