What this role is
This role involves building evaluation systems and data pipelines to measure how much of Anthropic's own AI development is becoming AI-assisted, turning raw signals into actionable metrics for safety and capability forecasting. It suits engineers who can prototype quickly, work with messy large-scale data, and collaborate closely with researchers to instrument vague research questions.
