About the role

Software engineer role focused on building and operating Anthropic's Billing Platform, ensuring correct, scalable, and auditable revenue infrastructure across products and teams.

Responsibilities

  • Design and ship billing capabilities end to end — pricing primitives, payment flows, contract and entitlement models, revenue data pipelines — depending on the surface area you own.
  • Build for correctness first. Billing data is financial data; you’ll develop the instincts for where idempotency, reconciliation, and audit trails matter and where they don’t.
  • Own the interfaces. Design contracts that hide complexity and hold up under change, whether for billing API integrations or revenue datasets.
  • Make build-vs-buy calls. Decide where to extend third-party platforms and where to build primitives around them.
  • Own the payments stack. Manage authorization rates, retry logic, processing costs, dispute responses, and fraud controls.
  • Drive down the manual work via automation to scale contract amendments, pricing changes, and billing support escalations.
  • Operate what you ship. Own SLOs, instrument revenue pipeline, and be on call when it pages.
  • Partner across the company (Growth, Sales, Finance, product) to align incentives and data quality.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years building backend or platform systems in production
  • 3+ years leading large scale, complex projects or teams as an engineer or tech lead
  • Track record shipping in fast-moving environments with shifting requirements
  • Care for correctness and data integrity as first-class design concerns
  • Experience in cross-functional work between Billing, Product, Finance, Sales, and Legal
