Manager, Applied AI Engineering, Beneficial Deployments (Life Sciences)
AI 엔지니어정규직시니어 · 경력 무관
앤스로픽에서 생명과학 분야 Applied AI 엔지니어링 팀을 이끌 리더를 찾습니다. LLM 및 에이전트 시스템 구축 경험과 바이오테크/제약 도메인에 대한 이해가 필수입니다. 고객사와의 기술적 협업을 통해 Claude를 실제 과학 연구 현장에 배포하고, 신뢰할 수 있는 데이터 인프라를 설계하는 핵심 역할을 수행하게 됩니다.
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.
Biology is the area where scientific progress has perhaps the greatest potential to directly and unambiguously improve human life — and we believe powerful AI could meaningfully accelerate the rate of biological discovery, helping compress decades of progress into years. With Claude for Life Sciences, we're building tools that accelerate the work of scientists and drug developers across the full lifecycle, from early discovery through clinical translation and regulatory review.
As the Applied AI Engineering Manager for Life Sciences, you'll lead the team of engineers who turn that ambition into deployed reality inside the world's leading scientific organizations. Our Applied AI Engineers are the technical front line: they sit with customers, understand their scientific and regulatory workflows in depth, and build the prototypes, integrations, and agents that let Claude do meaningful work in the lab and the clinic. You'll grow and lead this team, own the technical success of our most strategic life sciences accounts, those ties to advancing our strategy and mission, and create the feedback loop that turns what we learn in the field into better products and models.
This is more than wiring up a chatbot. As our own research has shown, the hard part of putting agents to work in biology is the infrastructure beneath them: messy databases, idiosyncratic file formats, scattered APIs, and metadata conventions where a single wrong or missing record can change a scientific conclusion. Your team builds the deterministic tools, connectors, and evaluations that make biological data reliably accessible to agents — and holds the work to a research-grade bar, where an answer has to be correct, reproducible, and auditable, not just plausible.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll coach engineers and raise the bar on their work, stay close enough to the technology to review prototypes and contribute directly, and partner across go-to-market, product, and research. Because this work sits in a sensitive, dual-use domain, you'll also help set the standard for how we deploy responsibly — enabling legitimate science while taking safety seriously.
Build and lead the team: hire, coach, and develop a team of Applied AI Engineers dedicated to strategic life sciences partners, setting a high technical bar and helping each engineer grow.
Own technical success with partners: be accountable for the technical outcomes of our strategic pharma and biotech deployments, from first scoping conversation through production.
Stay hands-on: review and contribute to prototypes, MCP integrations, agentic workflows, and Claude Code for Bio solutions; help the team get unblocked on the hardest technical problems.
Build agent-ready scientific infrastructure: guide the team in creating the deterministic tools, connectors/harnesses, and evaluations that make messy biological data and workflows reliably accessible to Claude — in partnership with scientists and research institutions.
Translate the field into the roadmap: partner cross functionally to turn what you learn from deployments into improvements in Anthropic's life sciences products and models.
Set the standard for responsible deployment: work alongside our safety teams to enable beneficial scientific work while guarding against misuse in a dual-use domain.
Build for the frontier: use deep knowledge of frontier model intelligence coupled to your work in R&D and research to rapidly progress toward solutions to meaningful problems in life sciences.
Have led or technically mentored software/ML engineers, ideally in a forward-deployed, solutions, or customer-facing engineering setting.
Have a background in pharma, biotech, computational biology, bioinformatics, or clinical/regulatory affairs.
Have a strong hands-on engineering background and are comfortable reading and writing production code, not just managing those who do.
Have delivered technical work directly with external customers or partners, and can communicate credibly with both technical experts and executives.
Have built on top of large language models or agents
Are energized by an unfamiliar technical domain and have a track record of going deep fast.
Hold a high bar for reliability and reproducibility, and understand why a plausible-looking answer that's subtly wrong can be worse than no answer in scientific work.
Have built tooling, data infrastructure, evals, or agent harnesses that turn messy real-world data into something usable and trustworthy — especially welcome if in a scientific or research setting.
Care deeply about the safe and beneficial deployment of AI, especially in sensitive domains.
Experience deploying LLM or agent systems in regulated or enterprise environments.
Experience building MCP servers, developer tooling, or scientific computing pipelines.
Experience scaling a customer-facing technical team through a period of rapid growth.

$320,000—$405,000 USD
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.
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.
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
