The opportunity
Anthropic's Research Productivity organization builds the infrastructure and systems that accelerate research across Anthropic, including the tools that help our research process get faster and more effective over time. We're looking for an experienced software engineer to join…
What you'll do
Design, build, and scale infrastructure and systems that support rapidly: increasing usage, where requirements and workload continue to evolve as the products built on top of them evolve
Independently scope and lead complex, multi-month engineering projects, from: an ambiguous starting point through to a production system
Drive cross-organizational alignment on technical direction, working through: ambiguous problem spaces with multiple stakeholders and teams
Make architectural decisions that shape the foundation of research infrastructure and tooling across Anthropic
Partner directly with researchers to deeply understand their workflows, then: anticipate and design for how those needs will change
Iterate quickly, favoring pragmatic, first-principles solutions and fast: feedback loops over heavy upfront design
What they're looking for
- Take ownership of the reliability and scalability of critical systems as load, usage, and complexity increase
- Help set technical standards and best practices for the team, and mentor other engineers
