ABOUT ODE WITH ANTHROPIC

How do you turn a decades-old dataset into an industry-leading medical coding agent? Teach an AI receptionist to book appointments in Spanish? Automatically generate working data connectors from API docs? Build agents that write, test, and deploy their own software packages?

Anthropic is defining frontier AI. Ode is the team bringing frontier AI into practice.

We are a team of experienced builders who care deeply about getting complex AI systems into production, with strong conviction about what makes them succeed. As Anthropic’s services venture, we tackle the hardest, most consequential AI problems for companies with real stakes, working closely with their Applied AI and Product teams to turn frontier technology into real world impact.

We're backed by Anthropic, Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, Goldman Sachs, General Atlantic, Leonard Green & Partners, Apollo Global Management, GIC, and Sequoia Capital.

We're headquartered in SF with offices in NYC, Raleigh-Durham, and Dubai.

THE ROLE

We're the call a CEO makes when they're ready to lead their industry into the age of AI — and the Principal is who answers.

Think of this function as a fractional Chief AI Transformation Officer for our clients. The expectation is for you to become the CEO's right hand and trusted confidant — the primary executive counterpart who helps them move their company into the AI era from a position of strength.
