AV Engineer, Platform & Automation

Anthropic; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 140,000 - 200,000; Full time

Job summary

Anthropic's AV Engineer (Platform & Automation) role focuses on the software layer behind the company's collaboration systems. You will build and own tools, integrations, and engineering practices that let the AV team support a fast-growing global office portfolio.

You can expect to spend much of your time writing, shipping, and operating code—fleet health monitoring, automated room testing, and ticketing—while integrating with Jira, Slack, Google Workspace, and other IT systems.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and ship internal tools and integrations that monitor, test, and manage AV and collaboration systems across every office
• Develop fleet health monitoring and automated room testing that catch failures before users report them and open actionable tickets automatically
• Build integrations across device and platform APIs — Q-SYS (including plugins and Lua control scripts), Logitech Sync, Google Meet hardware, digital signage; and IT systems such as Jira, Slack, PagerDuty, and Google Workspace
• Automate repetitive operational work: provisioning, configuration baselines, drift detection, certificate renewal, and asset data — with code others can read, test, and maintain
• Own administration and lifecycle of the software platforms behind the AV estate, including firmware and software release management with staged rollouts and rollback plans
• Operate internal tools as production services, with monitoring, alerting, service metrics, and runbooks, on team-owned repositories and service identities so nothing depends on one person
• Establish the team's engineering practices: source control, code review, testing, CI/CD, and release

Job description

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the Role

As an AV Engineer focused on Platform & Automation, you'll build and own the software layer of Anthropic's collaboration systems — the tools, integrations, and engineering practices that let a small AV team support a fast-growing global office portfolio. Our rooms, event spaces, and broadcast systems are increasingly managed through APIs and code: device management platforms, DSP and control systems, conferencing administration, ticketing, and paging. Your job is to turn that surface into reliable, team-owned tooling, and to bring software engineering discipline to how we build and maintain it.

You can expect a lot of your time writing, shipping, and operating code — fleet health monitoring, automated room testing and ticketing, integrations between our AV platforms and IT systems, and the internal tools that AV Engineering, AV Operations, and Events rely on every day. You'll also help own the administration of the software platforms we already run, and set the standards for how the team version-controls, reviews, tests, releases, and maintains everything from DSP designs to firmware to internal services.
