Anthropic is expanding its international operations to Singapore, as indicated by four job openings posted on its careers page on June 4, 2026. The positions cover finance, product support, and economic research. One key opening is for an Asia-Pacific head of accounting, who will be responsible for building a regional finance operations team while reporting to the firm’s Dublin office. Additionally, Anthropic is recruiting two product support specialists to serve as experts on its product range. The firm is also hiring a regional research economist, a role requiring a PhD and proficiency in Python programming, with a salary range between $307,200 and $331,200 annually. Employees for these roles must work from an office at least 25 per cent of the time.

Public records from the business registration portal Bizfile show that an entity named Anthropic PBC Asia Pacific was incorporated at 133 Devonshire Road on May 20. While the firm declined to comment on specific office opening plans, the expansion mirrors moves by OpenAI and Google DeepMind to establish a presence in Singapore for local AI development. Anthropic, which counts Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC as a major backer, has established 12 global offices since its inception in 2021, including locations in Japan, South Korea, India, and Australia.

The company's financial standing has grown significantly through several late-stage funding rounds. GIC led a US$30 billion Series G round in February 2026, followed by a Series H round that placed Anthropic’s valuation at US$965 billion, surpassing rival OpenAI’s valuation of US$852 billion. Beyond its financial growth, the firm has navigated regulatory and security challenges. In April, its Claude Mythos Preview model—which can autonomously identify software vulnerabilities—was shared with 50 tech firms under Project Glasswing rather than being released publicly. This development triggered an emergency meeting among Wall Street leaders and US officials regarding systemic financial risks. Separately, in February, the US defence department designated Anthropic’s technology a “supply-chain risk” following the company's refusal to grant unconditional military use of its tools, resulting in a ban on government contractors using its products for military work.
