Product Support Specialist
Business Operations
hybrid: San Francisco, CA
Salary range $115,000 - $130,000
added Sun Jun 25, 2023
Apply to AnthropicOur quickly growing business team is a group of committed operational generalists working closely with engineers to commercialize Anthropic’s state-of-the-art models.
We are hiring a Product Support Specialist to join Anthropic. As the first person dedicated to product support at Anthropic, you’ll be at the front lines of safely delivering AI to the world. By responding to, investigating, and tracking user needs, you will help ensure users have a great experience on Anthropic products. You’ll also be a key driver in building the scalable foundations for support as our user base grows, informing internal efficiencies and ways for users to self-serve (or not need help at all!).
Your responsibilities will include:
- Responding to support tickets.
- Working with engineers and other team members to resolve user issues.
- Building support processes, for example: systems for sorting tickets, internal and user-facing documentation, feedback from support to inform product development, generate ideas for internal tooling and user-facing solutions to increase efficiency and reduce contact rates.
You may be a good fit if you have:
- Experience with product support or related functions, like customer success (ideally 1-3+ years).
- High user empathy — you can read between the lines of a user’s question, put yourself in their shoes, and get at the heart of their needs for a speedy, satisfying resolution.
- Crisp written communication and high conscientiousness. Users who need help are often confused. You’ll talk to them, ask the right questions, and sweat the details.
- Experience thriving in fast-paced, high-volume, reactive situations. You’re great at prioritizing multiple demands, and knowing when to drop tasks.
- Curiosity and a love for solving problems — users don’t always tell you clearly what their problem is, and often their problem is indicative of a larger, strategic product issue. You enjoy the hunt to track down a bug or issue, and are energized by fixing this for all similar users going forward.
- Experience and enjoy doing behind-the-scenes work. This is essential, highly valuable, but unglamorous work.
- Interest in Anthropic’s products, and producitizing large language models in general. If users are having trouble logging in, for example, it will be hard to help them if you don’t understand the flow yourself.
In 3 months you will:
- Solve thousands of tickets
- Write a user-facing FAQ
- Develop a categorization system for support tickets
Annual Salary (USD)
- The expected salary range for this position is $115k - $130k.

However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate; operations roles are especially difficult to support. But if we make you an offer, we will make every effort to get you into the United States, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
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.

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our customers and for society as a whole.
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 — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — 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 & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
