Applied AI Engineer, Beneficial Deployments (lab Automation)

Anthropic · London, UK

Anthropic is an AI safety and research company focused on developing reliable, interpretable, and steerable artificial intelligence systems. The Beneficial Deployments team works to integrate these models into sectors such as global health, education, and life sciences to create positive societal impact. As an Applied AI Engineer within the Life Sciences division, you will be responsible for automating laboratory experiments by connecting AI models to scientific hardware and software. Your day-to-day work will involve collaborating directly with research labs to prototype and deploy production-grade code, integrating systems like liquid handlers and plate readers with AI-driven workflows. You will also contribute to the Model Hardware Standard, develop evaluation frameworks to measure model performance in physical environments, and create technical documentation to scale these solutions across the scientific community. This role requires a blend of strong software engineering proficiency and a deep understanding of experimental science. It is well-suited for candidates who have hands-on experience in automated laboratory settings, a track record of taking AI-powered tools from prototype to production, and the ability to serve as a technical ambassador to external scientific partners. Significant travel is expected for this position.

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 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 Beneficial Deployments Beneficial Deployments ensures AI reaches and benefits the communities that need it most. We partner with nonprofits, foundations, and mission-driven organizations to deploy Claude in education, global health, economic mobility, and life sciences — focusing on raising the floor for those who need it most. About the Role We're looking for an Applied AI Engineer to join our Beneficial Deployments, Life Sciences team. Our goal is for Claude to close the loop on scientific discovery, and a significant part of this is helping Claude to drive scientific hardware and software. You'll help deploy the Model Hardware Standard (MHS) to labs doing the world’s most important research. You’ll scale what you learn in the field by contributing back to the standard, building scalable assets, and driving associated internal product and research direction. Responsibilities Work with labs to automate their experiments end-to-end with Claude - from advising, to prototyping, to writing production code. Drive product, engineering and research direction based on field experience - e.g. building evals to measure limitations of our models in the physical world (capabilities and safety), developing new features on MHS, etc. Scale your impact to the long tail of labs through reusable cookbooks, documentation, and other assets. Be an EMEA ambassador for Claude in the lab - you’ll both inspire and build trust with scientific audiences, from small settings to large conferences. This role will require significant travel You Might Be a Good Fit If You Have Hands-on experience connecting software to lab robots and instruments (liquid handlers, plate readers, scheduling software, LIMS), ideally in an automated lab. Strong engineering skills: you can take an LLM-powered tool from prototype to production code, and write evals to measure its performance. A scientist's instinct for how experiments work: you can spot what's worth automating, and where AI might fail or be unsafe in the physical world. Experience working directly with external customers or partners in a technical role. Clear written and verbal communication: you’ll write docs other labs can use without you and give talks that inspire and earn researchers' trust. A scrappy mentality–comfortable wearing multiple hats, building from scratch, driving clarity in ambiguous situations, and doing whatever it takes to further the mission. The annual compensation range for this role is listed below. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. Annual Salary: £225,000 — £255,000 GBP Logistics Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position 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.
