About the job
Anthropic is building AI systems that are safe, beneficial, and transformative, with the mission to develop AI that benefits humanity. Frontier AI relies on datacenters, and the company is seeking versatile software engineers to build software and Claude-powered tools that will help scale compute infrastructure. The engineers will embed with teams involved in site sourcing, building design, equipment procurement, and construction management, learning their work to build essential tools and systems. This role offers an opportunity to significantly impact one of the world's most consequential infrastructure buildouts.
Responsibilities
- Build core systems for tracking datacenter lifecycle (sites, designs, bills of materials, equipment, construction progress) as a single source of truth.
- Embed with datacenter, energy, and supply chain teams to understand workflows, identify critical paths, and develop essential tools.
- Organize and migrate messy data from spreadsheets and legacy trackers, integrating with industry tools like construction management and scheduling systems.
- Design for trust with fine-grained permissions, auditability, and data quality for significant investment decisions.
- Ship early, iterate with users, and prioritize features that accelerate compute deployment.
- Collaborate with research teams to understand new model capabilities and identify limitations in engineering-heavy, physical-world domains.
Requirements
- 8+ years of software building experience with strong full-stack skills, data modeling, APIs, and databases.
- Experience building software relied upon by teams in physical-world industries (datacenters, construction, energy, manufacturing, supply chain, logistics).
- Proven track record of zero-to-one work in startup or startup-like environments.
- Deeply user-centric approach, learning domains from practitioners and validating solutions.
- High agency, good judgment, and the ability to hold strong opinions loosely.
- Clear communication across engineering, operations, and research.
- Care about the societal impacts of your work.
Benefits
- Annual compensation range: $320,000 - $485,000 USD
