Staff Memory & Search Engineer — Build AI Memory at Scale

Anthropic; New York, Seattle, San Francisco (NY, WA, CA); Híbrido; USD 405.000 - 485.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Anthropic is looking for Software Engineers to join the Memory & Search team. We own how Claude remembers you and how it finds what it needs, across Claude.ai, Cowork and Claude Code.

That spans the user-facing experience (what Claude remembers, how people see and edit it, how search surfaces the right conversation) and the shared infrastructure underneath it, the memory service, indexing, retrieval and vector search. Memory is one of the biggest levers on whether Claude feels like it knows you.

Formación

• Experience building and operating user-facing products used by a large number of people, including the backend services behind them
• Experience building agentic systems or LLM-powered products, including tool use, retrieval and prompt or context design
• Strong programming skills in Python and TypeScript, with experience across backend services and web front ends
• A track record of taking a product or feature from an idea to launch, and iterating on it based on usage data and user feedback
• Experience defining product metrics and running experiments to make decisions
• Strong product judgment: you notice when something feels off and you fix it, and you can explain why a design choice matters to users
• Strong written and verbal communication, with experience working closely with product managers, designers and non‑engineering partners
• Interest in AI safety and Anthropic's mission

Responsabilidades

• Design, build and ship memory and search experiences in Claude.ai, Cowork and Claude Code, owning them end to end from the backend service through the model's tools to the user interface
• Run product experiments on the memory and search stack: form a hypothesis, build a demo, put it in front of real users, measure, and make a clear persevere-or-pivot call
• Shape how Claude uses memory and retrieval inside its agentic loop, including what the model stores, when it searches, how results are ranked and presented, and how the user stays in control
• Define and track the metrics that tell us whether memory is actually making Claude more useful, and build the evaluations that keep quality honest as the system evolves
• Improve search relevance and recall across conversations and memories, working across embeddings, hybrid retrieval and ranking as well as the interface that presents results
• Partner with product, design, privacy, legal and safeguards to ship features that respect user consent and enterprise requirements such as customer‑managed encryption keys and data retention policies
• Raise the bar on product quality for the team through design reviews, code reviews and the standards you set for latency, polish and reliability<br/>Share the on-call for the systems you own
