About Anthropic
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
Anthropic’s Finance Analytics & Business Intelligence team is hiring a senior individual contributor to own how we measure the value of our models and our position in the market. These are open questions without an established playbook: how much value do our models deliver per dollar and per token, how is that changing with every launch, how do we compare to the rest of the frontier? You’ll own how Finance quantifies relative model value and market position: maturing our cross-product benchmark suite, building task-cost and price-elasticity estimates that inform live pricing and packaging decisions, sourcing and running capability and market analysis around every model launch, and standing up forecasting on third-party and survey data. The work is open-ended and technical, and you’ll operate as an analytical lead, partnering closely with Product Finance and our model performance Data Science teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Build the relative-value measurement system: evolve our cross-product benchmark into a durable, trusted read on model and product value, spanning coding, agentic, and product-shaped tasks
- Inform pricing and packaging: construct task-cost approximations and price-elasticity estimates across differently priced products, and carry them into decisions
- Own launch and market analytics: run analytics around model launches, including capability-based revenue analyses and views of the broader market
- Deepen our market understanding: evaluate and integrate external datasets and research to strengthen our read on the market and how it's evolving
- Partner with Product Finance: take open-ended pricing, packaging, and positioning questions from vague ask to decision-grade answer
- Raise the bar: land narratives in executive forums and uplevel the team’s product-finance analytics practice by example
Minimum Qualifications
- Put shape around ambiguity: you’ve personally defined the measurement approach for questions nobody knew how to answer, without waiting for a fully specified ask
- Land narratives with executives: your analyses have changed pricing, product, or competitive decisions, and you can simplify for senior leaders without losing rigor
- Stay hands-on at senior scope: you still write the SQL and Python yourself, and you’d rather ship a defensible v1 with honest error bars than wait for perfect data
- Are inherently curious: you go one level deeper than asked and are energized by how fast models, products, and the market are moving
- Thrive amid shifting priorities: you juggle multiple fast-moving workstreams and stay effective when the plan changes weekly
- Work fluently with modern tooling: you’re strong at data visualization, use Claude and AI tools as force multipliers in analysis and BI, and can self-serve your own workflows across SQL, Python, dbt, and a cloud warehouse
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience designing evals or benchmarks for AI models or products
- Pricing and packaging analytics at scale, including elasticity estimation
- Market share estimation from imperfect third-party, panel, or survey data
- Fluency in the LLM model and product landscape
- Dimensional modeling and warehouse design experience (grain, SCDs, point-in-time correctness)
- Cloud platform experience (AWS, GCP) with orchestration, CI/CD for data, and testing/observability
The annual compensation range for this role is listed below. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
Annual Salary
$270,000—$320,000 USD
Logistics
Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
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.
Your safety matters to us.
To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.
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.
Come work with us!
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.

Tailor your portfolio to frontier model data
Anthropic's AI Data Engineer roles center on large-scale training data pipelines and RLHF dataset construction. Showcase projects involving data curation at scale, human feedback workflows, or pre-training data quality systems rather than generic ETL or business intelligence work.
Confirm your visa category before applying
Anthropic sponsors H-1B, H-1B1 visa, and E-3 visas for this role. If you're Australian or a Singaporean national, clarify with the recruiter early whether they'll file an E-3 or H-1B1 petition, since processing timelines and renewal structures differ meaningfully between those categories.
Time your application around H-1B registration windows
If you need H-1B sponsorship and aren't currently in a cap-exempt status, the USCIS registration window opens each March for an October 1 start date. Starting your Anthropic job search in the preceding fall gives you enough runway to clear interviews before registration opens.
Request premium processing during offer negotiation
USCIS offers premium processing for H-1B petitions, reducing adjudication to roughly 15 business days. Raising this with Anthropic's recruiting team before you sign the offer letter is easier than requesting it after the petition has already been filed.
Search verified AI Data Engineer roles on Migrate Mate
Filter for AI Data Engineer openings at Anthropic on Migrate Mate to see roles confirmed to accept your specific visa type. This saves time you'd otherwise spend emailing recruiters to confirm sponsorship eligibility before applying.
Address specialty occupation evidence in your application materials
USCIS scrutinizes whether AI Data Engineer roles qualify as specialty occupations. Frame your resume and cover letter around the theoretical and applied depth required: degree-level knowledge of distributed systems, data provenance, or ML data infrastructure signals that the role isn't generalist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Anthropic sponsor H-1B visas for AI Data Engineers?
Yes, Anthropic sponsors H-1B visas for AI Data Engineer roles. The company has an active sponsorship track record for this function across its Science and Research work. If you're subject to the H-1B cap and haven't been selected in a prior lottery, timing your offer to align with the March USCIS registration window is the most practical path forward.
Which visa types does Anthropic commonly use for AI Data Engineer roles?
Anthropic sponsors H-1B, H-1B1 visa, and E-3 visas for AI Data Engineer positions. H-1B is the most broadly applicable. H-1B1 is available to Singaporean and Chilean nationals, and E-3 is available exclusively to Australian citizens. Each carries different annual filing windows, renewal structures, and dependent work authorization rules, so confirm which applies to your nationality early in the process.
What qualifications does Anthropic expect for AI Data Engineer positions?
Anthropic typically expects a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, statistics, or a related technical field, along with hands-on experience building large-scale data pipelines. For roles supporting model training, experience with human feedback data, data quality systems, or distributed data infrastructure is particularly relevant. Depth in Python, SQL, and familiarity with ML workflows strengthens your application significantly over general data engineering experience.
How do I apply for AI Data Engineer jobs at Anthropic?
You can apply directly through Anthropic's careers page. To confirm visa sponsorship eligibility before applying, browse AI Data Engineer openings at Anthropic on Migrate Mate, where roles are filtered by visa type so you can identify positions that match your sponsorship needs. During the application process, be prepared for multiple technical rounds focused on data systems design, coding, and occasionally a domain-specific assessment tied to AI data workflows.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take once Anthropic extends an offer?
For H-1B petitions filed with USCIS, standard processing takes three to five months. Premium processing reduces adjudication to around 15 business days. E-3 and H-1B1 visa petitions processed at a U.S. consulate abroad are typically faster, often decided at the interview appointment. Factor in LCA certification with the DOL, which precedes the USCIS filing and generally takes one to two weeks, when planning your start date.
