Engineering Manager, Platform Foundations

About the role We are looking for a to join our Platform org to lead and grow teams of software engineers working on the foundational building blocks that Anthropic’s product organization runs on. This is product infrastructure at the highest scale. Our user base and performance demands are growing at an unprecedented rate, and the team's mandate is to scale ahead of that demand: evolving our systems to meet customer growth, running our stack across all three major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and GCP), and unblocking the bottlenecks that enable our org's development speed at the highest standard of quality. You’ll lead an organization of multiple teams, and you’ll set the strategy and standard for performance, reliability, and output for product engineers. This is a company‑critical charter: the output of this org largely determines how fast the entire product organization can move and how far we can scale. You’ll define direction and partner with leaders across product, research, and infrastructure. Just as importantly, you’ll grow the leaders under you, developing managers and senior engineers so the org's leadership bench deepens as it scales. Responsibilities Lead a multi‑team engineering organization through other managers and tech leads — owning hiring, the development of your leaders, and a culture where strong people do their best work and stay Set the technical strategy and multi‑year roadmap for product infrastructure: compute, networking, the systems serving our APIs and apps, and the developer productivity tooling the whole product org runs on Bring clarity to a company‑critical charter: defining direction, sequencing the work, and derisking large initiatives that span multiple teams Scale our infrastructure to meet rapidly growing customer demand while holding a high bar on reliability and cost efficiency Drive the operation of our stack across all three major cloud providers, including complex multi‑region and international deployments Raise development velocity across the entire product engineering org by finding and removing the bottlenecks that hold it back, without trading away quality Partner deeply with product, research, and infrastructure leaders, and make the architectural decisions that serve the whole organization Manage a broad set of senior stakeholders and keep executives and partner teams aligned as priorities shift Grow the next layer of engineering leadership by developing managers and senior ICs so the org can take on more You may be a good fit if you Have 10+ years of engineering experience with a deep track record of engineering leadership (8+ years), including running a multi‑team organization and managing managers at significant scale Have built and operated product infrastructure at very high scale, with stringent reliability and efficiency requirements Have led complex multi‑region or international infrastructure deployments Have led an organization through a period of major growth or transition — for example, taking systems and teams from early‑stage to enterprise‑grade while absorbing order‑of‑magnitude increases in demand Have both a startup environment and significant enterprise‑scale company experience, and know how to navigate the challenges that come with that scale Are an excellent developer of leaders, with a strong record recruiting, scaling, and retaining engineering talent while growing managers and senior ICs Manage senior stakeholders well. You communicate clearly, build trust across functions, and keep executive partners aligned through ambiguity Have a strong technical background to set architectural direction and make sound decisions across a broad infrastructure surface Care deeply about Anthropic's mission and about developing AI responsibly and safely Strong candidates may also have experience with Deploying and operating production infrastructure multi‑cloud, across the major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) Developer productivity and developer experience at scale: the tooling, CI/CD, and workflows that entire engineering organizations depend on Cloud‑native architecture, containerization (e.g. Kubernetes), and large‑scale capacity management Operating infrastructure in regulated environments or under data‑residency and sovereignty requirements Building or operating infrastructure that serves AI and LLM products Compensation The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.
