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.
As a Startup Account Executive at Anthropic's Bangalore hub, you'll be at the forefront of bringing safe, frontier AI to India's thriving startup ecosystem. You'll partner with some of India's most innovative startups—from fintech unicorns to emerging SaaS pioneers—helping them leverage Claude to transform their businesses. This role combines consultative selling with deep technical understanding, as you'll guide founders and CTOs through their AI transformation journey.
You'll be a trusted advisor to the Indian startup community, understanding the unique challenges of building in India for both domestic and global markets. Working closely with our global GTM, product, and marketing teams, you'll shape how Anthropic serves the rapidly evolving needs of Indian startups while maintaining our commitment to AI safety and reliability.
This is an opportunity to shape how one of the world's leading AI companies serves India's dynamic startup ecosystem. You'll work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI technology and India's digital revolution, helping startups leverage AI responsibly to solve problems for millions of users. As an early member of our India team, you'll have significant influence on our go-to-market strategy and the opportunity to build something transformative.
We believe in the power of diverse perspectives to build better AI systems. India's rich technical talent and unique market challenges make it a crucial geography for developing AI that works for everyone. You'll be part of a global team committed to building AI systems that are safe, beneficial, and accessible to all.
Note: This position is based in our Bangalore office with a hybrid work arrangement. We welcome applications from candidates across India who are willing to relocate.
Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
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.
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.
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
