Seniority: mostly mid and staff
Of the 81 roles, 40 are mid-level and 35 are staff-level. Five are lead roles and one is junior. Many titles are written as "Staff+" or "Staff + Senior", which means a single opening can be filled at more than one level. If you are early in your career, Anthropic is a hard first job; the role hubs show where junior openings actually exist across the market.
Remote and location
13 of the 81 roles are listed as remote. The rest name specific offices, so read the location line on each posting before you apply.
Where a location is named, most listings put the role in San Francisco, New York or both, and London appears on 8 listings. Some listings are marked remote-friendly with travel required, which usually means regular time in an office rather than fully remote work.
What about pay?
Only one of the 81 listings in our data includes a salary, so we do not publish an Anthropic median: one data point is not a finding. Anthropic's own job pages are the place to check the range for a specific role. For market context, our live salary data covers AI roles across hundreds of employers, using only segments with at least 30 disclosed salaries.
How to read an Anthropic posting
Three things are worth checking before you apply. First, the team: infrastructure, research and product roles are hired very differently, and the title alone does not always say which one you are looking at. Second, the level range: a "Staff+" role expects you to set technical direction, not just ship tickets. Third, the location line, since most roles are tied to an office. If an opening is not quite right, the company page lists the full set, and similar employers hiring for the same roles are one click away.
