## About the role

Large teams of agents are starting to solve problems no single agent can, from rewriting major codebases to formalizing landmark mathematics. Our team studies how these teams scale: what happens to performance, cost and coordination as the number of agents, the compute budget and the length of the task grow, and what has to change to keep getting returns from that scale. We build the platform and evaluations Anthropic uses to run and measure large agent teams, and other research teams build on them. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Design, run and interpret large-scale experiments on agent teams, reasoning rigorously about what the data does and doesn't show
- Investigate how performance and efficiency change as team size, compute and task horizon grow, and find the bottlenecks that limit them
- Build and scale the systems that run very large agent teams reliably, and debug the failures that only appear at scale
- Design evaluations for long-horizon problems, and keep their results trustworthy
- Build the tooling and metrics that let researchers see what a large agent team is doing and why
- Partner with research teams across Anthropic so they can run their own experiments on the platform, and communicate findings clearly
