Engineering Manager - Data Infrastructure About Anthropic

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

Anthropic is looking for an Engineering Manager to join our data infrastructure team. You’ll help lead a team to own the stack that powers Anthropic’s business understanding:
Every org is your customer, and your team enables coworkers to view and improve current state by applying complex business logic to massive datasets ’ll take that stack to the next level, supporting engineers to add new capabilities and make everything even more robust and bulletproof, while handling rapidly increasing load. You’ll work across the company to define and drive the long‑term vision for how data flows through one of the fastest-growing companies ever.

This is a high‑visibility, high‑impact role. Your work will require top‑notch people skills and cross‑functional collaboration, as well as deep technical experience and judgment across both infrastructure and data science/analytics. You won’t just execute:
You and the engineers you support will partner closely with users, PMs, TPMs, and leadership across finance, data science, product, engineering, and research, to synthesize and consolidate needs, and identify and satisfy unmet needs. We’re looking for someone who moves comfortably through ambiguity, is equally energized by business and technical impact, and cares deeply about people. You’ll grow a small, strong core to a large team, advancing initiatives that are critical to the future of responsible, useful, reliable AI.
