Senior Human-AI Collaboration Research Engineer, Education Labs

About Anthropic

Anthropics 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

Education Labs is a research-driven team with a product mandate : we study how AI transforms human capability development, and we build new product paradigms based on what we discover. As a Senior Product Research Engineer, you'll be the second technical builder on this small, mission-driven teamoperating with research-level autonomy while shipping features that reach millions of users.

This role sits at the intersection of research exploration and product execution. You'll work alongside researchers studying the societal impacts of AI, while building and shipping features that help people develop skillsboth in working with AI itself and in their broader capabilities. You'll have significant creative license to define what good looks like, exploring new interaction paradigms rather than optimizing existing patterns.

Our team believes that developing skill with AI is fundamental to human agency and flourishing in an AI-enabled world. We're building experiences that make users more capable, more thoughtful, and more empowerednot just more engaged. This means integrating skill development principles into product design, leveraging Claude itself as part of the capability-building journey, and measuring success by how users grow in their ability to work with AI and apply those skills to their own goals.

You will be something of a one-person technical shop with full-stack ownership, prototyping new ideas, establishing technical direction, and shipping production-quality features. You'll need strong product instincts and clean interface design sensibilities, balanced with comfort in ambiguity and frontier thinking.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship features that help users develop skills in working with AI and translate those skills into their own capability growthmeasuring success by skill development and product mastery, not just engagement
• Architect and implement end-to-end prototypes (front-end and back-end) that test new interaction paradigms for skill development with AI, including novel uses of Claude as a skill-building partner
• Define technical direction and quality standards for capability-focused product work in a research contextyou'll establish patterns others can follow
• Collaborate with researchers to translate insights about skill development and human-AI collaboration into shipped product experiences
• Work closely with product, design, and research teams across Anthropic to influence how skill development principles shape our broader product strategy
• Analyze product data and user behavior using quantitative and qualitative methods to understand how users develop skills with AI and what actually helps them become more capable
• Document and share your work through clear technical writing, prototypes, and presentations that influence thinking across the organization
• Elevate team craft through thoughtful code reviews, technical discussions, and knowledge sharinghelping others grow their skills
• Influence research priorities and team strategy while mentoring through technical leadershipestablishing patterns, stakeholder coordination, reviewing code, and sharing expertise

You may be a good fit if you have

6+ years building and shipping web products, with deep expertise across the stack

Strong perspective on how technology should enhance human capabilities rather than diminish them

Comfort with ambiguity and exploring undefined problem spacesyou define what good looks like

Experience setting vision for product projects, defining roadmaps with clear milestones, and maintaining team focus in exploratory environments

Experience providing technical direction, particularly in small or early-stage teams

What this role is not

This is a hands-on technical role building product features that ship to users, embedded within a research team. While youll provide technical guidance and help set direction, this role doesnt involve people management or traditional team leadership responsibilities. If youre looking to transition into engineering management or lead a large team, this likely isnt the right fit.
