<div class="content-intro"><h2><strong>About Anthropic</strong></h2> <p>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.</p></div><h2><strong>About Anthropic</strong></h2> <p>Anthropic is an AI safety and research company. We build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems, and we believe AI will have a vast impact on the world — our goal is to ensure that impact is positive.</p> <h2><strong>About the role</strong></h2> <p>Anthropic is compute-constrained, and how we allocate that compute is one of the highest-leverage decisions we make as a company. Today, allocation choices are only loosely tied to the user outcomes we ultimately care about — retention, lifetime value, and the experience of people relying on Claude. This role exists to change that by addressing two intertwined problems at the heart of how we allocate compute.</p> <p>The first is an allocation problem: matching a volatile, heterogeneous stream of demand to a finite, heterogeneous fleet of chips. Which models run on which hardware, in which regions, under what serving configurations — with demand shifting and capacity bounded — is a problem the team navigates continuously today, with more intuition than rigor. You will bring structure to it: building the metrics and analytical frameworks that make the trade-offs legible, and partnering with the infrastructure teams that own these systems to turn that understanding into better decisions.</p> <p>The second is a causal-inference problem: there are many levers — rate limits, pricing, cache behavior, capacity shifts, routing changes — and only a partial picture of what pulling each one actually does to the users on the other end. You will build the causal understanding that clos
