What Anthropic means
Anthropic develops the Claude models, offered through its own API and through Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI. It also makes Claude Code, a coding agent that runs in the terminal, and originated the Model Context Protocol for connecting models to tools and data.
We count a posting when it names Anthropic, or names Claude in a context that makes clear it means the model. Anthropic’s own postings are excluded, as every vendor’s are.

How to read it
Naming a model provider in a job post means the team has picked one, at least for now, and wants someone who knows its behavior, limits, and pricing. Some mentions are about Claude Code and similar tools as part of how engineers are expected to work, not as part of the product. The provider race is close in this data; treat any single day’s ordering as noise and watch the trend.
What these roles pay
Midpoints of 35 distinct salary ranges posted on New York roles that name Anthropic. Base salary only; on-target earnings are excluded, and a range repeated across one company’s postings counts once. For comparison, the median across all New York engineering postings is $215k. A term’s pay reflects the roles that name it as much as the skill itself — see the role mix below before reading a premium into it. Full bands by function and seniority are in the NYC salary calculator.

How this is counted
Every day we read the open roles on the public job boards of the New York AI companies in our coverage — the NYC AI 100 and the AI in NYC Show roster. This term is matched against each role’s description after removing the text a company repeats across its postings, so an “About us” paragraph cannot tag every role the company has open. A vendor’s own postings never count toward its own name.
The figure means named in a job posting. It does not mean used in production, and a “nice to have” counts the same as a requirement. Companies are the headline number because posting counts are dominated by whichever few employers are hiring hardest this month.
Full method, including the pay rules, is on the glossary index; the underlying series is the NYC AI Hiring Index.
