Description

We are looking for experienced software engineers to join our Platform organisation. We build the foundational primitives that accelerate product development across Anthropic, and own infrastructure and systems that teams depend on to ship reliably and at scale.

As a Staff+ Software Engineer, you will independently scope complex, multi-month projects, drive cross-org alignment through ambiguous problem spaces, and make architectural decisions that shape how Anthropic builds and scales its products. You will partner directly with research to productize cutting-edge capabilities, and will have lasting impact on the platform that hundreds of thousands of companies and internal/external engineers depend on every day.

Our team is responsible for Platform Acceleration, Service Infra, Multicloud, Auth & Identity, and Connectivity. We work on maximising developer productivity of product engineers at Anthropic, building and maintaining the core infrastructure that powers Anthropic's engineering organisation, operating across multiple cloud providers, and powering identity and authentication across Anthropic's product suite.

You will work on problems where reliability and enterprise trust are the bar: token refresh at scale, admin controls that let IT govern what agents can do, proxy infrastructure that stays up when partner servers don't. We ship for claude.ai, Claude Code, Cowork, and the API.

Relevant experience includes OAuth, API gateways, multi-tenant platforms, building for enterprise, and MCP.

We are looking for someone with 8-10+ years of practical full-stack engineering experience, ideally with 2+ years operating at a Staff or equivalent technical leadership level. You should have led the design and delivery of complex, consumer or B2B user-facing products across the full stack, and take a product-focused approach to building solutions that are robust, scalable, and easy to use.

Strong candidates may also have served as a technical lead or architect for a foundational platform system, owning both the technical vision and execution end-to-end, or experience designing or scaling billing, payments, or financial infrastructure at high transaction volumes.
