About Anthropic
Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems. About the role
We are seeking an experienced backend software engineer to join our Technical Partnerships team. You will help build and extend Anthropic’s integrations with key, major cloud service partners that make our large language models and APIs available within their customer marketplaces. You will join a team of engineers that collaborates closely with teams across Anthropic research and product engineering to learn the inner workings and the core infrastructure needed to serve our frontier models to customers. You will also collaborate closely with the product engineering teams at our partner organizations to efficiently scale delivery of Claude to their vast audiences of developers. Responsibilities
Optimize accelerator utilization – accelerator chips are gold in the AI world. By helping to measure and optimize the allocation of chips serving Anthropic’s models, you can play a key role in helping these precious resources go to their best possible use. Collaborate on and implement features – Anthropic is constantly innovating in API and LLM features; you will play a critical role in designing and implementing these features to function well within third-party marketplace deployments. Trust and safety – AI safety is the core of Anthropic’s mission and permeates every aspect of LLM research, model development, and customer access. Maintaining AI safety on third party platforms poses unique challenges that you will help solve. Build and test infrastructure – you will work to improve and extend the infrastructure needed to package and test Anthropic’s core inference technology for distribution within third party platforms. This work is a force-multiplier for our teams and our partner teams as it accelerates our ability to reliably launch new models and new features to customers. Design and maintain observability and live site operations – you will collaborate closely with both our first-party observability engineers and our engineers within our third-party partner organizations to ensure our services achieve high uptime and consistently excellent performance for customers. Contribute to Anthropic’s core mission with your innovative ideas and product/systems enhancements to build ever-better beneficial AI systems. You may be a good fit if you
Have 5-15+ years of experience as a software engineer building and operating mission-critical backend systems at scale Have strong practical coding skills (including Python) and experience with complex distributed systems Are adept at designing highly observable code and systems that operate reliably, at scale Take a customer-focused approach to building infrastructure, backend systems, and customer-facing APIs Enjoy working in a fast-paced, early environment; comfortable with adapting priorities as driven by the rapidly evolving AI space Have excellent written and verbal communication skills and comfort with a high degree of collaboration with both internal and external engineers and product managers Have a proclivity for “leaving it better than you found it”: making things better without letting perfect be the enemy of good Are motivated by developing AI responsibly and safely Strong candidates may also have experience with
Integrating LLM APIs into products or services Experience developing software services in Rust Tools like Kubernetes, Docker, containerization tech Deep experience building services on AWS or GCP Code performance optimization or service cost optimization Holding the pager for a critical live site service or taking the role of incident manager Direct interaction with customers or partners during the implementation or support phases of a product or service deployment Deadline to apply:
None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The expected salary range for this position is: Annual Salary:
$300,000

$405,000 USD
Logistics
Location-based hybrid policy:
Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices. 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. We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification.
Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. How we're different
We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. Come work with us! Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
