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
We are hiring a Product Support Specialist to join Anthropic. In this role, you’ll be at the front lines of safely delivering AI to the world. By responding to, investigating, and tracking user needs, you will help ensure users have a great experience with Anthropic products.
Contractors in this role will work late evening hours (approximately 5pm-1am or 6pm-2am PT) and are scheduled to work either Sunday-Thursday or Tuesday-Saturday.
Responsibilities:
- Become an expert in all Anthropic products
- Respond to user support cases with a variety of complexity, from simple billing or account questions for individuals to complex, incident-level issues for large businesses
- Clearly and empathetically communicate with a wide range of user personas
- Prioritize critically and comfortably adapt to an ever-evolving product landscape
- Partner with engineers, teammates, and other internal stakeholders to diagnose and resolve user issues, both individually and at scale
- Manage on-call tasks for high-urgency user issues with extreme ownership
- Work late evening/overnight/weekend shifts, operating with autonomy and exercising strong judgement in ambiguous situations
You may be a good fit if you:
- Have experience in product support, preferably in an escalated or enterprise/strategic customer support team
- Have worked overnight shifts previously, and/or are familiar with being the sole member of your team online during your working hours
- Have demonstrated an ability to thrive in fast-paced, reactive situations while meeting core support metrics targets (e.g. CSAT, SLA, etc.)
- Possess strong user empathy and are expert in the lifecycle of a support case; you can read between the lines of a user’s question, put yourself in their shoes, and get at the heart of their needs for a speedy, satisfying resolution
- Have crisp but kind written communication skills and a deep care for the details
- Enjoy helping others learn about new features and complex concepts
- Are persistent and curious; you delight in the hunt of tracking down a bug or issue, and are energized by fixing this for all similar users going forward
- Have experience contributing to the foundations of a support team – this is essential, highly valuable, but often unglamorous work
- Are proficient at working in a technical environment and are interested in Anthropic’s products
The expected salary range for this position is:
Annual Salary:
$150,000—$150,000 USD
Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
How we're different
We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
