Job summary

Anthropic is hiring for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to own and evolve the deployment platform from design to production. You will enable fast, safe, and predictable paths for code and artifacts to reach machines across a large fleet.

The role emphasizes end-to-end ownership, progressive delivery, and collaboration with security and multiple teams to ensure reliable rollouts and incident response readiness. Office-based with hybrid expectations in the US.

Qualifications

• Proficiency in at least one backend or systems programming language (Rust/Go/C++/Java).
• Experience designing and operating distributed systems in production.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes on AWS or GCP.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Set technical direction for major parts of the deployment platform and own them end to end: design, implementation, and operations.
• Build rollout safety into the platform, including progressive delivery, health-gated promotion, automatic pause and rollback, and deploy controls that teams manage themselves.
• Design APIs and abstractions that work equally well for engineers and for AI agents.
• Extend the platform to new workload types and runtimes, from Kubernetes to serverless and edge platforms.
• Build and operate runtime configuration and feature flag systems with validation, gradual rollout, and fast rollback.
• Build infrastructure-as-code workflows that many teams rely on for safe, routine changes.
• Scale artifact distribution so code and configuration reach machines quickly and efficiently.
• Partner with Security so that the path to production is secure by default, with verifiable builds, least-privilege access, and auditable changes.
• Work directly with teams across Anthropic to understand their deployment needs and bring their workloads onto the platform.
• Take part in on-call and incident response, and turn what you learn into guardrails that prevent the same problem from recurring.
