TL;DR
What is this hub? This is the central hub for landing an AI research or engineering role at a frontier lab. It collates current (2025-2026) job-market analysis, role-specific guides, lab-specific interview prep for OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepMind, and the strategy to choose and prepare for the right track - see the guides and coaching pages below. How hard is it to get hired at OpenAI, Anthropic, or DeepMind in 2026? Very hard, and volume applying backfires. Fewer than 1 in 100 candidates who reach the onsite stage receive an offer, RS acceptance runs below 0.5%, and Anthropic gates engineers near 520+ out of 600 on its CodeSignal screen. What works is role-specific positioning plus lab-specific prep: OpenAI rewards shipping velocity, Anthropic prioritises AI safety and a thin RE/RS boundary, DeepMind values academic rigour. Will AI replace software engineers in 2026? No, but it is redrawing the value map. With 84% of developers using AI coding tools (47.1% daily, Stack Overflow 2025), the premium moves to engineers who can architect, evaluate, and deploy AI systems rather than only write code. FDE roles grew ~150% and AI automation ~200%, while coding-only roles face the most displacement pressure. Ready to Land an AI Research/Engineering Role at a Frontier AI Lab?
