Technical Editor

About the role

The Editorial Publishing team is looking for a team member to write, edit, and review material that Anthropic publishes about its own systems, including model cards, risk reports, safety and security reports, and other technical material. You’ll have a front-row seat to some of the most consequential material a frontier AI lab produces, working cross-functionally with teams like Alignment, Interpretability, Safeguards, Policy, and Legal to produce rigorous reports on tight timelines. You’ll be describing model behavior, training environments, evaluation methods, and their limitations, and must be legible to both technical experts and general-public readers. The ideal candidate brings clarity and structure to complex writing and editing processes involving many stakeholders.
