Responsibilities

  • Drive scaling and core efficiency programs for the API stack from architectural direction through sequenced, deliverable execution
  • Run multiple large programs simultaneously across infrastructure, networking, and the API layer
  • Act as the connective tissue between API, infrastructure, database, networking, and inference teams, owning cross-org dependencies end to end

  • Have coordinated programs spanning many partner organizations, managing cross-team dependencies, commitments, and escalations at the working level
  • Are highly organized and can manage multiple parallel workstreams effectively across distributed teams
  • Thrive in unstructured environments with a knack for bringing order to chaos and creating clarity in ambiguous situations, including where decision ownership is unclear
  • Have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence without authority
  • Are passionate about Anthropic's mission and interested in the challenges of operating AI infrastructure safely and reliably
