Engineering Manager, UI Platform

We're looking for an engineering leader to own the foundational platform that powers all of Claude.ai's UI surfaces. In this role, you'll lead the team responsible for reliability, latency, developer velocity, and common components across Claude.ai's UI surfaces.

As an Engineering Manager, UI Platform, you will:

• Lead and grow the UI Platform team, setting technical direction for reliability, performance, and developer experience across all Claude.ai surfaces
• Own the foundational systems that product teams depend on: shared components, build and deploy pipelines, observability, and performance infrastructure
• Drive improvements to developer velocity,reducing friction, improving tooling, and enabling teams to ship features faster and more safely
• Establish and maintain high standards for latency, reliability, and quality across the platform
• Partner closely with product engineering, infrastructure, and leadership to align platform investments with product priorities
• Create clarity and direction in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment where priorities shift as Claude.ai evolves
• Build a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement within your team

To be successful in this role, you'll need:

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time spent building platforms, developer tools, or infrastructure for consumer-facing products
• 5+ years of engineering leadership experience, including managing and growing teams in high-growth environments
• Deep expertise in modern web development stacks (React, Next.js, TypeScript)
• Passion for developer experience and a track record of building tools and systems that make other engineers more productive
• Strong opinions on reliability, observability, and performance,and know how to operationalize those opinions at scale
• Ability to balance technical depth with strategic thinking, staying hands-on while also setting long-term direction
• Thrive in ambiguity and create structure and clarity for your team when the path forward isn't obvious
• Effective communication skills across functions and ability to build alignment with product, design, and infrastructure partners

Strong candidates may also have experience with:

• Building and scaling platforms for multiple surfaces (web, mobile, desktop, extensions) with shared infrastructure
• Performance optimization and latency reduction in consumer-facing applications
• CI/CD, build systems, and deployment automation at scale
• Observability and monitoring systems (metrics, logging, tracing)
• Working on AI/ML products or in rapidly evolving product environments

The annual compensation range for this role is $405,000-$485,000 USD.
