Job description

About the Role :

We are seeking an experienced Machine Learning Systems Engineer to join our Encodings and Tokenization team at Anthropic. This cross-functional role will be instrumental in developing and optimizing the encodings and tokenization systems used throughout our Finetuning workflows. As a bridge between our Pretraining and Finetuning teams, you'll build critical infrastructure that directly impacts how our models learn from and interpret data. Your work will be foundational to Anthropic's research progress, enabling more efficient and effective training of our AI systems while ensuring they remain reliable, interpretable, and steerable.

Responsibilities :

  • Design, develop, and maintain tokenization systems used across Pretraining and Finetuning workflows
  • Optimize encoding techniques to improve model training efficiency and performance
  • Collaborate closely with research teams to understand their evolving needs around data representation
  • Build infrastructure that enables researchers to experiment with novel tokenization approaches
  • Implement systems for monitoring and debugging tokenization-related issues in the model training pipeline
  • Create robust testing frameworks to validate tokenization systems across diverse languages and data types
  • Identify and address bottlenecks in data processing pipelines related to tokenization
  • Document systems thoroughly and communicate technical decisions clearly to stakeholders across teams

You May Be a Good Fit If You :

  • Have significant software engineering experience with demonstrated machine learning expertise
  • Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and developing solutions in rapidly evolving research environments
  • Can work independently while maintaining strong collaboration with cross-functional teams
  • Are results-oriented, with a bias towards flexibility and impact
  • Have experience with machine learning systems, data pipelines, or ML infrastructure
  • Are proficient in Python and familiar with modern ML development practices
  • Have strong analytical skills and can evaluate the impact of engineering changes on research outcomes
  • Pick up slack, even if it goes outside your job description
  • Enjoy pair programming (we love to pair!)
  • Care about the societal impacts of your work and are committed to developing AI responsibly
  • Strong Candidates May Also Have Experience With :

  • Working with machine learning data processing pipelines
  • Building or optimizing data encodings for ML applications
  • Implementing or working with BPE, WordPiece, or other tokenization algorithms
  • Performance optimization of ML data processing systems
  • Multi-language tokenization challenges and solutions
  • Research environments where engineering directly enables scientific progress
  • Distributed systems and parallel computing for ML workflows
  • Large language models or other transformer-based architectures (not required)
  • Deadline to apply : None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
