About Anthropic

Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that's working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. Backed by Accel, Bessemer and General Catalyst.

About the role

Anthropic's compute fleet is one of the largest and most varied in the world, and everything we do from training frontier models to serving Claude depends on getting the right work onto the right hardware at the right time. Our Scheduler team owns that problem. We build the scheduling layer for Anthropic's Kubernetes fleet, the tools researchers and engineers use to launch and manage their jobs, and the systems that make sure the fleet is used as efficiently as possible.

What they're looking for

  • Experience managing and growing a team of software engineers
  • A hands-on software engineering background as an individual contributor prior to moving into management
  • Experience building or operating large-scale distributed or infrastructure systems in production
  • Working knowledge of Kubernetes and cluster scheduling concepts, such as resource requests and limits, affinity, priority and preemption, and custom schedulers or controllers
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to create clarity across teams

When a researcher starts a run, the scheduler decides where it lands and how quickly; when demand outstrips supply, it decides who waits. This team provides the paved path that lets everyone at Anthropic get compute when they need it without becoming an expert in the infrastructure underneath.

We're looking for an engineering manager to lead this team. The scheduler is on the critical path for...
