Engineering Editorial Lead

About Anthropic

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.

About the role

Anthropic is looking for an Editorial Lead to own our engineering blog — one of the most visible ways we share how we build, what we learn, and why it matters. This is a role for someone who can bridge the gap between highly technical work and a broad, curious readership, turning complex engineering stories into posts that are rigorous, accessible, and compelling to read.

You’ll work closely with engineering and research teams to identify the stories worth telling, then lead the editorial process from first draft through to publication. This isn’t a role where you’ll be writing everything yourself — a big part of the job is drawing out great writing from engineers who have deep expertise, and helping them turn that expertise into something the wider world can learn from.

Responsibilities

• Define and maintain the editorial strategy for the engineering blog, including editorial calendar, content mix, and voice and tone guidelines
• Source and develop blog post ideas in collaboration with engineering and research teams, identifying work that is well-suited to external publication
• Edit posts end-to-end — from substantive feedback on structure and clarity through to line-level polish — while preserving technical accuracy and the author’s voice
• Coach and support engineers through the writing and revision process, helping produce strong drafts and building their confidence as contributors over time
• Work with engineering leadership and developer relations to ensure published content is coordinated with other developer content, aligns with team priorities, and is appropriately timed relative to product launches, research releases, or other milestones
• Coordinate with communications and marketing teams on promotion and audience strategy for published posts
• Coordinate with design on diagrams and visuals that support technical content

You may be a good fit if you

• Have 5+ years of editorial experience, with a strong track record of editing technical or complex content for broad audiences
• Are an exceptionally skilled editor — someone who can improve a piece significantly without losing what made it worth reading in the first place
• Have curiosity about engineering and technology, and can get up to speed quickly on new technical topics
• Are skilled at drawing out ideas from subject-matter experts and helping them articulate their thinking clearly on the page
• Can think strategically about content — not just ind
