The opportunity
Platform Safety builds the infrastructure that lets Anthropic bring its most capable models to more people, safely and securely. Our systems decide both who can access our most advanced models, and what capabilities they can access, wherever Claude is available.
What you'll do
Have a minimum of 8 years of practical experience as a backend or platform: engineer, ideally at tech lead level or equivalent, and are comfortable working across the stack when the problem calls for it
Have strong product sense, and work closely with cross-functional partners,: including non-engineers, to shape and execute strategy in new domains
Use AI tools as a regular part of how you design, build and review software
Have designed and operated production distributed systems on a critical path,: where correctness, latency and availability all matter
Take full ownership of your work, from design through build, deployment, operations and iteration
Navigate ambiguity and make sound technical decisions independently, have set: technical direction that other engineers and teams adopted, and have ideally operated in both 0 → 1 and more mature settings
What they're looking for
- Care about building robust, scalable systems that other engineers and businesses love to use
- Care about the societal impacts of your work and Anthropic's mission to build safe, beneficial AI
- Identity, access control or authorization systems at scale
- Fraud, risk, trust and safety, or KYC/KYB systems, including working with verification vendors
