Staff Software Engineer — Datacenter Compute Platform

AI Chopping Block, Inc.; New York, Northern (NY, KY); Hybrid; USD 320,000 - 485,000; Full time

Job summary

Anthropic is seeking versatile software engineers to build tools that support the physical-world datacenter buildout. You will embed with teams sourcing sites, designing buildings, procuring equipment, and managing construction to accelerate compute online.

This role emphasizes data modeling, APIs, and full-stack work with a strong user focus and cross-functional collaboration. Hybrid office presence is expected as part of the role.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of software development experience.
• Experience building software used by teams in physical-world industries such as datacenters, construction, energy, manufacturing, supply chain, or logistics.
• Track record of zero-to-one work in startup or startup-like environments.
• Deeply user-centric: learn domain from the people doing the work and validate with them before over-investing.
• Bring high agency and good judgment about what matters, with strong opinions loosely held.

Responsibilities

• Build the core systems that track a datacenter's lifecycle (sites, designs, bills of materials, equipment, and construction progress) in one trusted, permissioned source of truth.
• Embed with datacenter, energy, and supply chain teams to understand how the work actually gets done, find the critical path, and build the tools they reach for first.
• Bring order to messy data by migrating and reconciling spreadsheets and legacy trackers, and integrate with industry tools like construction management, scheduling, and engineering systems.
• Design for trust: fine-grained permissions, auditability, and data quality for information that steers major investment decisions.
• Ship early, iterate with users, and cut anything that doesn't help bring compute online sooner.
• Partner with research to understand new model capabilities and share where they fall short in engineering-heavy, physical-world domains.
