Job summary

Anthropic, a public benefit corporation, is building a robust Observability team within Infrastructure. We design scalable telemetry ingest and storage pipelines for metrics, logs, traces, and error data across multi-cluster infrastructures, enabling low-overhead visibility for engineers and faster incident response.

This role focuses on eBPF-based instrumentation, OpenTelemetry pipelines, AI-assisted diagnostics, and cross-team collaboration.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience building and operating large-scale observability infrastructure.
• Experience with end-to-end observability signals from instrumentation to analysis.
• Knowledge of high-throughput telemetry pipelines and storage considerations.

Responsibilities

• Design and build scalable telemetry ingest and storage pipelines for metrics, logs, traces, and error data across multi-cluster infrastructure.
• Weave observability solutions that provide engineers deep, low-overhead visibility into system behavior across the fleet.
• Own and evolve core observability platforms, driving migrations and architectural improvements to improve reliability and reduce cost.
• Develop instrumentation libraries, SDKs, and eBPF-based auto-instrumentation to emit high-quality telemetry.
• Reduce MTTD/MTTR with cross-signal correlation and AI-assisted diagnostic tooling.
• Drive fleet-wide efficiency by turning profiling and telemetry into optimization insights across CPU, memory, and accelerators.
• Collaborate with Research, Inference, Product, and Infrastructure teams to meet unique observability needs.
