About this role

Anthropic seeks a Machine Learning Infrastructure Engineer to build and maintain the systems powering their Safeguards research team, enabling researchers to rapidly experiment with detection methods that identify and mitigate AI model misuse. You'll own data pipelines, training workflows, and tooling that bridge research exploration and production deployment, while solving novel systems challenges at scale.

What you'll do

  • Build and scale infrastructure and data pipelines supporting Safeguards ML research
  • Own training, evaluation, and scoring workflows to minimize time from idea to results
  • Design researcher-facing libraries and CLI tools that abstract underlying system complexity
  • Implement correctness and sanity checks to maintain result trustworthiness as models evolve
  • Transition high-value research workflows from experiments to production-grade systems
  • Optimize throughput, cost, and reliability of large-scale inference and scoring workloads

What they're looking for

  • Python and strong software engineering fundamentals
  • Building and operating data-intensive or distributed systems in production
  • Debugging performance and correctness issues across unfamiliar systems
  • ML infrastructure and experiment tracking systems
  • GPU/accelerator programming and inference optimization
  • Language models, transformers, and model internals
  • Collaborative technical communication and cross-functional partnership
