## 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.

## 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
