## About the role

Anthropic is looking for Software Engineers to join the Memory & Search team. We own how Claude remembers you and how it finds what it needs, across Claude.ai, Cowork and Claude Code. That spans the user-facing experience (what Claude remembers, how people see and edit it, how search surfaces the right conversation) and the shared infrastructure underneath it, the memory service, indexing, retrieval and vector search. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Experience building and operating user-facing products used by a large number of people, including the backend services behind them
- Experience building agentic systems or LLM-powered products, including tool use, retrieval and prompt or context design
- Strong programming skills in Python and TypeScript, with experience across backend services and web front ends
- A track record of taking a product or feature from an idea to launch, and iterating on it based on usage data and user feedback
- Experience defining product metrics and running experiments to make decisions
- Strong product judgment: you notice when something feels off and you fix it, and you can explain why a design choice matters to users
