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

As an AV Broadcast Engineer, you'll serve as the technical engineering lead ensuring flawless execution of the events and broadcasts that enable communication across our global organization. You'll act as both technical director and primary escalation point for complex production challenges, bringing deep expertise in audio DSP, video broadcast systems, and camera technologies to every event-from intimate executive presentations to company-wide all-hands broadcasts reaching thousands of participants.

This is an opportunity to define what world-class event production looks like at a cutting-edge AI research organization. You'll drive the long-term vision for how events and broadcasts evolve for the audiovisual team while working at the intersection of hands-on engineering and strategic infrastructure planning-making real-time technical decisions during live productions while collaborating on the global broadcast standards and systems that scale with our organization. Your work directly enables the collaboration and transparency that advance our AI safety mission.

  • Possess deep technical expertise in audio DSP, microphone techniques, and acoustic optimization for speech
  • Bring strong knowledge of video broadcast systems including camera operations, signal flow, and multi-camera production
  • Can operate as both the engineer solving complex problems and the technical director calling shots during live productions
  • Excel at building relationships with stakeholders, translating technical concepts into business value
  • Take ownership of technical quality end-to-end, from system design through live execution
  • Strive for excellence in every production while maintaining pragmatic judgment about what's achievable within constraints
  • Thrive in environments requiring both strategic thinking and hands-on problem-solving in fast moving environment
  • Bring a collaborative engineering mindset while confidently making technical decisions under pressure

    Logistics

    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.

    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.
