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. As a Senior Field Engineer on the Data Center Design and Engineering team, you will work side by side with developers, general contractors, and engineers of record to resolve technical issues on site and speed up construction. You will spend most of your time on active sites, acting as our team's eyes, voice, and technical judgment in the field. You will spot problems first, get the right people moving, and stay with each issue until it is closed. Be our engineering presence on site. Get issues closed. Find out why things fail. Clear the path to commissioning and handover. Bring the field back into the design. Have spent years on active project sites in energy, power, heavy industrial, data center or similar environments, as an engineer, project manager, or construction or commissioning lead. Can read drawings, single-line diagrams, P&IDs, specifications and schedules well enough to see where they disagree with what's been installed. Can give specific examples of persuading contractors, vendors or partners who didn't report to you to change course. Hold your position under pressure, back it with evidence, deliver bad news early, and change your mind when the facts change. Have led structured failure investigations, using a method such as 5 Whys or 8D, and seen the corrective actions through. Write short, factual reports that a busy reader can act on. Treat safety as your own job, and will stop work that isn't safe.
