Staff Software Engineer, Developer Productivity (CI/CD) - Claude Code

Significant backend or developer-infrastructure engineering experience, with hands-on responsibility for a high-leverage CI/CD, merge queue, or land pipeline at scale

Proficiency in Python and at least one statically-typed systems language (e.g., Go or Rust)

Experience operating CI/CD or release systems through production incidents, including writing postmortems and driving remediations

Demonstrated ability to work across team boundaries — building consensus with platform, security, and product engineering stakeholders

Comfort using AI coding tools as a daily part of your workflow, with informed opinions on where they provide leverage

7+ years of backend or developer-infrastructure experience

Every engineer at Anthropic depends on the path from pull request to production.

The Developer Productivity team owns that path end to end — review automation, CI, the merge queue, the deploy pipeline, and the policy that gates each step.

These pieces exist today; the opportunity is to integrate them into a single fast, predictable system that scales with the volume of code shipping into Claude and our research infrastructure.

You'll shape the CI and repository topology that best serves our velocity, build AI-assisted review that keeps confidence high as PR volume grows, and partner closely with platform, security, and delivery infrastructure teams on the substrate underneath.

This is a tech-lead-scope IC role with broad cross-team influence — you'll represent Developer Productivity in org-wide pipeline decisions and help other teams adopt the standards you set.

We use Claude heavily in our own development workflows, and this team is at the center of that: agentic coding is both how we work and part of what you'll be building.
