Job summary

Anthropic Limited is hiring a Software Engineer for the Observability & Profiling team in London. You will design and operate high-throughput telemetry pipelines, profiling systems, and tracing to support reliability across large-scale GPU/TPU workloads.

You will own core observability platforms, develop instrumentation and eBPF-based tooling, and partner with Research, Inference, Product, and Infra teams to deliver low-overhead visibility and AI-assisted diagnostic capabilities.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent is required.
• Extensive experience designing and operating large-scale observability infrastructure.
• Proficient with eBPF-based tracing and profiling in production.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Responsibilities

• Design and build scalable telemetry ingest and storage pipelines for metrics, logs, traces, and error data across Anthropic's multi-cluster infrastructure.
• Build observability solutions that give engineers deep, low-overhead visibility into system behavior across the fleet.
• Own and evolve core observability platforms, driving migrations and architectural improvements that improve reliability, reduce cost, and scale with organizational growth.
• Build instrumentation libraries, SDKs, and eBPF-based auto-instrumentation to emit high-quality telemetry, with and without code changes.
• Reduce mean time to detection and resolution by building cross-signal correlation—from kernel-level events up to application traces—unified query interfaces, and AI-assisted diagnostic tooling.
• Drive fleet-wide efficiency by turning continuous profiling and utilization telemetry into actionable optimization insights across CPU, memory, and accelerator fleets.
• Partner with Research, Inference, Product, and Infrastructure teams to ensure observability solutions meet the unique needs of each organization.
• Have hands-on experience building and operating large-scale observability or monitoring infrastructure.
• Have deep, hands-on experience with observability signals end to end—from instrumentation through ingest to query and analysis.
