$300k - $320k/yr
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain biology software for genomics and structural biology, including libraries, command-line tools, pipelines, datasets, and benchmarks.
- Own software releases from research code through testing, validation, benchmarking, documentation, packaging, and versioning.
- Maintain released software by triaging issues, reviewing outside contributions, and managing breaking changes.
- Represent the team in conferences, workshops, tutorials, and direct collaboration with biology researchers and software maintainers.
- Partner with computational and experimental scientists to turn research code into reusable, well-tested software.
- Lead technical direction through design reviews, code reviews, and mentoring, with potential responsibility for leading a small team.
- Use Claude and AI coding agents for design, implementation, testing, and review while validating the correctness and performance of generated code.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience in a relevant field.
- Experience building, releasing, and maintaining biology software adopted by researchers outside the candidate’s own group.
- Deep working expertise in genomics or structural biology, including relevant data types, file formats, standard tools, and failure modes.
- Proficiency in Python and comfort working with large datasets in Linux and cloud or cluster computing environments.
- Experience with rigorous testing and release engineering, including unit and integration tests, continuous integration, reference-data validation, packaging, and versioning.
- Experience using AI coding tools centrally in software development and verifying the correctness and performance of agent-written code.
- Experience leading a technical project with multiple contributors while continuing to write code.
- Ability to communicate technical work clearly to biologists and engineers through documentation, tutorials, talks, and workshops.
- Preferred qualifications include expertise in both genomics and structural biology, widely used open-source computational biology tools, formal team leadership, a graduate degree or equivalent experience, systems programming in Rust, C++, or C, performance work on large biological datasets, experience in additional computational biology areas, and experience with AI-built software, agentic systems, or biological machine learning models.
Benefits
- Annual salary range is $300,000—$320,000 USD.
- Anthropic offers competitive benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and office collaboration space.
- The role currently follows a location-based hybrid policy requiring staff to be in an office at least 25% of the time, though some roles may require more office time.
About Anthropic
Anthropic builds large language models and the Claude AI assistant for developers and enterprises, offered via API access and enterprise plans. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in San Francisco, it distributes Claude through its own platform and via partners such as Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI. Its work emphasizes model reliability, interpretability, and practical tooling for tasks like coding assistance, analysis, and customer support automation.
