Description
We're looking for engineers who love working directly with users and who excel at building data products. The Research Data Platform team builds the tools that Anthropic's researchers use every day to manage, query, and analyze the data that goes into training and evaluating frontier models.
As a software engineer on this team, you will:
- Build and operate data pipelines that extract data from research training runs and land it in storage systems that are easy and fast to query
- Work closely with researchers to design and build APIs, libraries, and web interfaces that support data management, exploration, and analysis
- Develop dataset management, data cataloging, and provenance tooling that researchers use in their day-to-day work
- Embed with research teams to understand their workflows, identify high-leverage tooling opportunities, and ship solutions quickly
- Collaborate with adjacent teams to build on existing systems rather than reinventing them
You may be a good fit if you have significant software engineering experience, particularly building data-intensive applications or internal tooling. You should enjoy working directly with users, gathering requirements iteratively, and shipping things that get adopted. You should also be results-oriented, with a bias towards flexibility and impact.
Strong candidates may also have experience with large-scale ETL, columnar storage formats, and query engines, high-volume time series data, data cataloging, lineage, or metadata management systems, ML experiment tracking or metrics platforms, complex data visualization, and full-stack web application development.
