Research Operations, Reinforcement Learning at Anthropic

Skills

• Care deeply about Anthropic's mission and let it underpin all judgment calls you make across the org.
• Technical fluency to engage substantively with researchers: you can follow a discussion about an RL training run, read a set of eval results and form reasonable hypotheses about what they mean, and hold your own in a technical conversation. You don't need to have trained a model yourself, but you should understand the model training process and have the depth to work closely with leading researchers.
• Clear writing: you turn dense, jargon-heavy material into summaries and plans that technical collaborators across the RL org and beyond can act on.
• An eye for great dashboards: you can look at data visualizations and scope improvements that make lessons at-a-glance clearer and grounded.
• Strong follow-through and attention to detail; nothing falls through the cracks on your watch.
• Ability to push back on senior stakeholders to offer strategic guidance as needed, disagree without causing discord, and influence without direct authority.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a fast-changing environment; you stay steady when the pace is relentless and the stakes are as high as they can possibly be.
• Experience in an operations, chief of staff, program management, or comparable role supporting senior leaders in a fast-moving technical organization.
• High integrity.
