Anthropic posted, then swiftly deleted, a $450,000 sales job aimed at its 'mega' customer Meta
Anthropic listed a sales job specifically targeting Meta, a major customer but also a rival in the AI race. It has since deleted the posting.
Anthropic, an AI lab, inadvertently posted a job listing seeking a "Mega Account Executive, Meta" on its website, targeting one of its largest customers, Meta. However, the job posting was swiftly deleted after Business Insider inquired about it. The job listing, which offered an annual salary between $380,000 and $450,000, was particularly noteworthy due to its specificity, as it targeted Meta directly, a key rival in the AI landscape.
Despite Meta being a significant customer, spending hundreds of millions of dollars monthly on Anthropic's AI tools, the company is increasingly looking to reduce its dependence on Anthropic as it prepares for an anticipated initial public offering. The job listing suggests Anthropic believes Meta will remain a significant customer, even as it develops its own AI capabilities. Anthropic and Meta have not commented on the situation.
