Software Engineer, Research Infrastructure

Experience designing, building, and operating large-scale distributed systems or infrastructure in production

A track record of independently scoping and delivering complex, ambiguous, multi-month technical projects

Strong software engineering fundamentals and hands-on coding ability

Experience making architectural decisions that other engineers and teams build on top of

Anthropic's Research Productivity organization builds the infrastructure and systems that accelerate research across Anthropic, including the tools that help our research process get faster and more effective over time.

This team operates like a startup within a startup.

You'll be a strong fit if you like thinking from first principles, iterating fast on infrastructure, and tackling reliability and scalability challenges head-on as the products built on top of your systems evolve underneath you.

You'll independently scope complex, multi-month projects, drive cross-org alignment through ambiguous problem spaces, and make the architectural decisions that shape how the infrastructure behind our research tooling gets built.

You'll partner directly with research teams to understand their workflows, anticipate how their requirements will change, and design and scale infrastructure that can keep pace.

Design, build, and scale infrastructure and systems that support rapidly increasing usage, where requirements and workload continue to evolve as the products built on top of them evolve
