Engineering Manager, UI Platform
About the role
Claude.ai is Anthropic’s flagship consumer product, spanning web, mobile, desktop, and browser extensions—and it's growing fast. We're looking for an engineering leader to own the foundational platform that powers all of these surfaces: the shared infrastructure, APIs, tooling, and systems that enable product teams to ship reliably, quickly, and with confidence.
Responsibilities
Lead and grow the UI Platform team, setting technical direction for reliability, performance, and developer experience across all Claude.ai surfaces
Own the foundational systems that product teams depend on: shared components, build and deploy pipelines, observability, and performance infrastructure
Drive improvements to developer velocity—reducing friction, improving tooling, and enabling teams to ship features faster and more safely
Establish and maintain high standards for latency, reliability, and quality across the platform
Partner closely with product engineering, infrastructure, and leadership to align platform investments with product priorities
Create clarity and direction in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment where priorities shift as Claude.ai evolves
Build a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement within your team
Requirements
10+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time spent building platforms, developer tools, or infrastructure for consumer-facing products
5+ years of engineering leadership experience, including managing and growing teams in high-growth environments
Deep expertise in modern web development stacks (React, Next.js, TypeScript)
Passion for developer experience and a track record of building tools and systems that make other engineers more productive
Strong opinions on reliability, observability, and performance—and know how to operationalize those opinions at scale
Balance technical depth with strategic thinking, staying hands-on while also setting long-term direction
Thrives in ambiguity and creates structure and clarity for your team when the path forward isn't obvious
Communicates effectively across functions and builds alignment with product, design, and infrastructure partners
Qualifications
Experience with Building and scaling platforms for multiple surfaces (web, mobile, desktop, extensions)
Performance optimization and latency reduction in consumer-facing applications
CI/CD, build systems, and deployment automation at scale
Observability and monitoring systems (metrics, logging, tracing)
Working on AI/ML products or in rapidly evolving product environments
