Research Lead, Training Insights

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 the role As a Research Lead on the Training Insights team, you'll develop the strategy for, and lead execution on, how we measure and characterize model capabilities across training and deployment. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll drive original research into new evaluation methodologies while leading a small team of researchers and research engineers doing the same. Your work will span the full lifecycle of model development. You'll research and build new long-horizon evaluations that test the boundaries of what our models can achieve, develop novel approaches to measuring emerging capabilities, and deepen our understanding of how those capabilities develop — both during production RL training and after. You'll also take a cross-organizational view, working across Reinforcement Learning, Pretraining, Inference, Product, Alignment, Safeguards, and other teams to map the landscape of model evaluations at Anthropic and identify critical gaps in coverage. This role carries significant visibility and impact. You'll help shape the eval
