Software Engineer, Beneficial Deployments

San Francisco, CA | New York City, NY

About Anthropic

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.

About the Role:

We're looking for experienced software engineers to join our Beneficial Deployments Engineering team to help bring Claude to communities that need AI most—nonprofits, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, life sciences researchers, and economic mobility initiatives globally.

This role requires strong full-stack engineering skills combined with deep empathy for underserved communities and mission-driven organizations. As an IC engineer on this team, you'll solve unique technical challenges at the intersection of AI accessibility, social impact, and scalable product development, and will help make frontier AI accessible to organizations working on humanity's most pressing challenges.

Core Responsibilities:

• Design and implement infrastructure that enables accessible, self-serve onboarding and verification systems for global markets

• Understand the needs of underserved communities and translate them into scalable technical and product solutions

• Build flexible pricing, billing, and provisioning systems that balance accessibility with sustainability for resource-constrained organizations

• Develop MCP integrations that connect Claude with mission-critical tools used by nonprofits, educators, healthcare workers, and researchers

• Develop multilingual and accessibility capabilities across platforms

• Build systems to measure and demonstrate social impact at scale

• Partner with product, partnerships, and field teams to rapidly prototype and validate solutions with real communities

• Ensure platform reliability and performance for mission-critical deployments in humanitarian and social impact contexts

You might be a good fit if you:

• Have 6+ years of practical experience as a full-stack software engineer

• Have experience building consumer or enterprise products that prioritize accessibility, inclusivity, or served underserved populations

• Have technical expertise in identity management, billing systems, self-serve onboarding flows, or API integrations

• Have a builder mentality with ability to ship products quickly while maintaining quality for diverse user needs

• Care deeply about using technology for social good and want your engineering work to have meaningful impact

• Have excellent collaboration skills and can work effectively with product, partnerships, and field teams

Strong candidates may also:

• Experience with international markets, multilingual products, or accessibility features

• Background in nonprofit technology, social impact startups, or mission-driven organizations

• Experience with AI/ML products and LLM applications

• Familiarity with building products for resource-constrained environments or emerging markets

• Understanding of compliance requirements in regulated sectors

• Startup experience, particularly in scaling products from zero to one

Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

Annual Salary:

$320,000 - $405,000 USD

Logistics

Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

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.

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.
