Research Engineer developing agentic systems at Anthropic focused on LLMs and AI applications. Collaborating with researchers to enhance agent performance and tackle complex tasks.
About the role
- Research Engineer in Audio at Anthropic working on building conversational AI systems. Developing audio codecs, sourcing audio data, and training language models for audio understanding.
Responsibilities
- Work across the full stack of audio ML, developing audio codecs and representations
- Source and synthesize high quality audio data
- Train large-scale speech language models and large audio diffusion models
- Develop novel architectures for incorporating continuous signals into LLMs
- Build advanced steerable systems spanning end-to-end conversational systems
- Collaborate with many teams across pretraining, finetuning, reinforcement learning, production inference, and product
Requirements
- Have hands-on experience with training audio models, whether that's conversational speech-to-speech, speech translation, speech recognition, text-to-speech, diarization, codecs, or generative audio models
- Genuinely enjoy both research and engineering work, and you'd describe your ideal split as roughly 50/50 rather than heavily weighted toward one or the other
- Are comfortable working across abstraction levels, from signal processing fundamentals to large-scale model training and inference optimization
- Have deep expertise with JAX, PyTorch, or large-scale distributed training, and can debug performance issues across the full stack
- Thrive in fast-moving environments where the most important problem might shift as we learn more about what works
- Communicate clearly and collaborate effectively; audio touches many parts of our systems, so you'll work closely with teams across the company
- Are passionate about building conversational AI that feels natural, steerable, and safe
- Care about the societal impacts of voice AI and want to help shape how these systems are developed responsibly.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation and benefits
- Optional equity donation matching
- Generous vacation and parental leave
- Flexible working hours
- Lovely office space for collaboration
