Desirable

• Anthropic's Infrastructure organization is the engine that powers our mission to develop AI systems that are safe, beneficial, and understandable
• Every breakthrough in AI safety research and every interaction users have with Claude depends on the systems we build and operate: massive clusters for training, production infrastructure serving millions of users reliably, and developer platforms that help engineers move fast without breaking things
• This isn't typical infrastructure work
• We're building at the frontier of what's possible, solving novel scaling challenges that few organizations face with a high degree of security, all in service of ensuring transformative AI benefits humanity
• If you're energized by your technical work directly enabling some of the most important research happening today, Infrastructure at Anthropic is the best place to make a real difference
• The Systems engineering team enables Anthropic to rapidly research and deploy safe frontier models at scale by owning compute uptime and resilience
• We build resilience into Anthropic's infrastructure and support rapid scaling of our clusters with frontier hardware through relentless automation
• This allows Anthropic's research to remain on the frontier of what's possible and makes research breakthroughs safely and reliably deployable to customers
• We are seeking an experienced engineering leader to manage the part of our Systems team that looks after our Kubernetes control plane and custom schedulers
• You'll lead initiatives supporting some of the largest, most sophisticated clusters in the industry used to train, research, and ultimately serve AI models
• Your work will be crucial in ensuring Anthropic can continue reliably and safely training frontier models
• Manage a team of engineers building and operating world-class infrastructure at scale
• Lead build out of industry-leading AI clusters (thousands to hundreds of thousands of machines), partnering closely with cloud service providers on cluster build out and required features
• Consult with different stakeholders to deeply understand infrastructure and compute needs, identifying potential solutions to support frontier research and product development
• Set technical strategy and oversee development of high-scale, reliable infrastructure systems
• Hire and coach top technical talent
• Design processes (e.g., postmortem review, incident response, on-call rotations) that help the team operate effectively and never fail the same way twice
• Drive continuous improvement in system reliability, scalability, and security
• Work closely with Research and Product Engineering teams to ensure infrastructure meets their evolving needs
