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
You want to build the cutting-edge systems that train AI models like Claude. You're excited to work at the frontier of machine learning, implementing and improving advanced techniques to create ever more capable, reliable and steerable AI. As an ML Systems Engineer on our Reinforcement Learning Engineering team, you'll be responsible for the critical algorithms and infrastructure that our researchers depend on to train models. Your work will directly enable breakthroughs in AI capabilities and safety. You'll focus obsessively on improving the performance, robustness, and usability of these systems so our research can progress as quickly as possible. You're energized by the challenge of supporting and empowering our research team in the mission to build beneficial AI systems.

Responsibilities
Profiling our reinforcement learning pipeline to find opportunities for improvement
Building a system that regularly launches training jobs in a test environment so that we can quickly detect problems in the training pipeline
Making changes to our finetuning systems so they work on new model architectures
Building instrumentation to detect and eliminate Python GIL contention in our training code
Diagnosing why training runs have started slowing down after some number of steps, and fixing it
Implementing a stable, fast version of a new training algorithm proposed by a researcher
