About Anthropic

Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that's working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. Backed by Accel, Bessemer and General Catalyst.

About the role

  • Hold a CPA, a Master's in Taxation or LLM is a plus
  • Thrive on novel fact patterns and ambiguity, and default to building the workpaper and writing the position down rather than waiting for a template
