Job summary

Anthropic in the United States is seeking versatile software engineers who will build core systems that support a massive datacenter deployment. You will embed with teams that source sites, design buildings, procure equipment, and manage construction, learning their domain to create trusted tools.

You will move fast, ship early, and iterate with users while shaping data quality, permissions, and the edge of what compute infrastructure can do.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of software development experience with strong full-stack skills.
• Experience building software that teams in a physical-world industry depend on (e.g., datacenters, construction, energy, manufacturing, supply chain).
• Startup or startup-like experience indicating ability to ship with speed and ambiguity.
• User-centric mindset with ability to learn domain from practitioners and validate with them.

Responsibilities

• Build core systems that track a datacenter's lifecycle (sites, designs, BOMs, equipment, progress) in one trusted source of truth.
• Embed with datacenter, energy, and supply chain teams to understand how work gets done and identify the critical path.
• Migrate and reconcile spreadsheets and legacy trackers; integrate with industry tools like construction management and scheduling systems.
• Design for trust with fine-grained permissions, auditability, and data quality for strategic decisions.
• Ship early, iterate with users, and remove features that don’t accelerate compute readiness.
• Collaborate with research to understand model capabilities and address limitations in engineering-heavy, physical-world domains.
