Software Engineer, Platform Distribution

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.

The Claude Platform is growing rapidly and serves developers and enterprises ching the next tier of enterprise customers requires transforming how and where we deploy it, as well as the set of features we support out of the box.

The Distribution team owns that transformation: making the Claude API a cloud-native, managed product that runs wherever our customers need it, cross-cloud and on Anthropic's own infrastructure, with the enterprise-grade security, compliance, and operational capabilities to support it. This work is split across to major work streams that are covered in the next section, and we need your help across both.

Claude Platform on the Clouds:
You will make the Claude Platform a best in class offering on the Cloud Service Provider’s platform (AWS, GCP, Azure), by bringing our API, control plane and Anthropic features through the provider’s front door. You’ll do cross-cutting work across the clouds and also have the opportunity to go deeper with CSPs on native integrations across a range of deep technical problems at unprecedented scale.

You’ll get to collaborate across the company with teams such as Infrastructure, Systems, Networking, Databases, Inference and more.

Enterprise Readiness:
You’ll make our platform even more suitable for Enterprise, shipping next gen enterprise enablement features that unblock our next wave of regulated customers or enable our existing ones to scale further. You’ll do so in an Enterprise SaaS context, with a specific focus on enterprise growth, security and compliance, with features ranging from key management & encryption, audit APIs, usage visibility, access control, and international data residency.

You’ll also partner closely with core teams across the company, as well as collaborate with CSPs to make these available on our cloud platforms.
