You'll build something from scratch&mdash;creating the frameworks, partnerships, and success stories that will define Anthropic's presence in India for years to come.
 
 
 This role offers exposure to India's most transformative enterprises across diverse sectors, from century-old industrial houses embracing AI to digital-native companies setting new benchmarks. You'll be the voice of Indian enterprises within Anthropic, ensuring our products evolve to serve one of the world's most dynamic markets.
 
 
 
 The Impact
 
 
 
 Your work will directly contribute to India's AI-powered economic transformation, helping enterprises serve billions of customers more effectively while creating new opportunities for growth and innovation. By establishing Anthropic as the trusted AI partner for Indian enterprises, you'll play a crucial role in ensuring AI development remains safe, beneficial, and aligned with Indian values and needs.
 
 
 
 This position is based in Bangalore/Mumbai/NCR with travel across India. We're looking for someone who can build a strong local presence while collaborating globally.
 
 
 
 The expected base compensation for this position is below. Our total compensation package for full-time employees includes equity, benefits, and may include incentive compensation.
 
 
 
 Annual Salary
 
 
 
 ₹16,272,000 - ₹20,198,400 INR
 
 
 
 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.
 
 
 
 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 &mdash; advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI &mdash; 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 &amp; 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.
