Staff+ Software Engineer, Platform Ecosystem
About the role
We are looking for experienced software engineers to join the Platform Ecosystem team within our Platform organization. Platform Ecosystem exists to empower the next big industries to build on Claude and to create the commercial rails that let businesses building on our platform flourish. This is a founding team, and you'll play a critical role in accelerating AI transformation across highly impactful, mission-driven sectors.
Verticals
- You'll work alongside product, design, research, and forward-deployed engineers to understand what these industries need from Claude, and build the capabilities, integrations, and workflows that let them adopt Claude safely and at scale.
- You might move quickly across unfamiliar domains, learn what matters to each market, and ship products that unlock entirely new categories of customers on the platform.
Monetization
- You'll design and operate the systems that let businesses building on Claude price, package, and sell what they build, and give them the controls they need to do so with confidence.
- This work sits at the intersection of product, platform infrastructure, and go-to-market, and it directly shapes how the ecosystem around Claude grows.
What you'll do
You should be comfortable moving across a breadth of different stacks and going deep when needed to break through walls and turn ambiguous opportunities into high-quality, shipped products.
Requirements
- A minimum of 8 years of practical experience as a backend or platform engineer, along with some frontend experience.
- Strong product sense and the technical chops to tackle a wide variety of challenges, and are great at working closely with cross-functional partners to ideate and execute product strategy in new domains.
- Familiarity with using AI tools as part of the software development process.
- A product-focused approach to platform work and care about building solutions that are robust, scalable, and easy to use.
- Take full ownership of your work — from design through build, deployment, and operations, to iterating on and improving your product.
- Can navigate ambiguity and make sound technical decisions independently, and have ideally operated in both 0 → 1 and more mature team or company settings.
- Care about building systems that other engineers and businesses love to use.
Qualifications
- Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position.

How We're Different
We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles.
Research
This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
