Data Scientist, Developer Productivity at Anthropic

<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 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold" data-sourcepos="3:1-3:18;42-59">About the role</h2> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="5:1-5:539;61-599">You'll partner with Developer Productivity engineering leadership to define what "developer productivity" means in an AI-first org and to set the strategy for how Anthropic measures, understands, and improves it. This is a space where the playbook doesn't exist yet: AI-assisted development is reshaping how engineers work faster than anyone can measure, and last quarter's answer is already suspect. You'll decide which questions are worth asking, build the evidence to answer them, and stay ready to revise when the ground shifts again.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="7:1-7:427;601-1027">You'll own the data strategy end-to-end: which metrics earn the org's trust, which investments to push for, which assumptions to challenge — including your own. The space rewards people who hold conclusions loosely, instrument early, and update fast when the data disagrees with the narrative. This role sits at the intersection of data science, developer experience, and frontier AI, with Anthropic's own teams as your users.</p> <h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold" data-sourcepos="9:1-9:24;1029-1052">Key responsibilities</h2> <ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3" data-sourcepos="11:1-17:175;1054-2249"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" data-sourcepos="11:1-11:170;1054-1223">Lead ambiguous, high-stakes investigations where the question isn't yet well-formed — from "is Claude making engineers faster?" to "what does 'faster' even mean here?"</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" data-sourcepos="12:1-12:189;1224-1412">Treat findings as provisional in a space that changes month to month.
