Job description
About the Position
We are looking for a Staff+ Software Engineer, Developer Productivity to join our team at Anthropic. This role is pivotal in enhancing the reliability and developer experience of our AI systems.
About the Role
Anthropic's Infrastructure organization is foundational to our mission of developing AI systems that are reliable, interpretable, and steerable. The systems we build determine how quickly we can train new models, how reliably we can run safety experiments, and how effectively we can scale to millions of users.
Developer Productivity owns the end-to-end experience of how engineers and researchers at Anthropic develop, build, test, and ship code at scale. This includes the source control and language ecosystems that underpin our monorepo, the build and CI infrastructure that keeps thousands of daily builds running reliably across multiple cloud providers, and the developer acceleration tooling that deeply integrates into engineering workflows.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical strategy and roadmap for your area, translating team-level goals into concrete execution plans
- Define infrastructure architecture, ensuring the hardest problems get solved
- Design and build scalable, reliable distributed infrastructure and shared libraries that support high-volume workloads across all engineering teams
- Own and evolve build environments, package management, and dependency systems to enable fast, reproducible builds
- Define and implement language ecosystem standards, tooling, and frameworks that drive developer productivity across research and production workloads
Requirements
- Deep experience with build systems, CI/CD pipelines, and/or developer tooling in a large monorepo environment
- Strong proficiency in Python, Rust, and/or Go
- Obsessed with developer productivity and reducing friction in the software development lifecycle
- Experience with container orchestration and infrastructure at scale
- Excellent communication skills and enjoy supporting internal partners to improve their development experience
- Excited about designing foundational systems and comfortable working independently on ambiguous, high-impact technical challenges
We Offer
- Competitive salary range: $405,000 - $625,000 USD
- Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time
- Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
