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 manages one of the largest and fastest-growing infrastructure fleets in the industry — spanning multiple accelerator families, CPU families, and clouds. The Capacity Engineering team is responsible for making sure all of our infrastructure resources are accounted for, well-utilized, and efficiently allocated. We own the data, tooling, and operational systems that let Anthropic plan, measure, and maximize utilization across first-party and third-party compute — one of the company's largest areas of spend. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Experience managing software or infrastructure engineering teams, including hiring senior engineers, managing performance, and developing people into larger scope
- Familiarity with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure), Kubernetes-based infrastructure, and modern observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana)
- A track record of setting and executing an engineering roadmap in an ambiguous, high-autonomy environment with many stakeholders and shifting priorities
- Excellent communication skills: you can explain a utilization metric to a research engineer and a spend forecast to a CFO, and you can advocate clearly for your team's priorities with senior leadership
- Comfort owning operational responsibility for systems the company depends on, including on-call and incident management
