About the job
Anthropic's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems that are safe and beneficial for users and society. The Interpretability team focuses on mechanistic interpretability, aiming to discover how neural network parameters map to meaningful algorithms. This involves reverse-engineering how trained models work, treating neural networks like biological systems or computer programs to be reverse-engineered. The team's goal is to create a solid scientific foundation for understanding neural networks and making them safe, with a focus on issues like "superposition" and decomposing models into interpretable components. This role supports a team of expert researchers and engineers working on these ambitious safety research goals.
Responsibilities
- Support a team of expert researchers and engineers focused on understanding how large language models work internally at a deep, mechanistic level.
- Partner closely with an individual contributor research lead to drive the team's success.
- Translate cutting-edge research ideas into tangible goals and oversee their execution.
- Manage team execution, careers, and performance.
- Facilitate relationships within and across teams.
- Drive the hiring pipeline for the Interpretability team.
