Standards Editor

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

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.

• Strong copy editing and proofreading ability, with a command of grammar, usage, and a recognized style guide (e.g., Chicago or AP)
• Comfort working in a content management system (CMS) and publishing web content
• A meticulous eye for detail and a track record of shipping polished, error-free work on deadline
• Interest in AI, with the ability to write accurately and accessibly about complex, technical topics
• Comfort taking ownership of your work in a fast-moving environment where processes are still taking shape

Preferred qualifications

• Experience editing announcements in-house at a technology company or media organization
• Experience writing or editing for a brand with a distinctive, well-defined voice
• Ability to write for social audiences and adapt tone and length across different channels and surfaces

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.

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.
