## About the role

At Anthropic, we're building AI systems that are safe, beneficial, and transformative. Our mission is to develop AI that benefits humanity, and we believe the most powerful capabilities emerge when we thoughtfully bridge the gap between research breakthroughs and real-world applications.

## What they're looking for

- Build the core systems that track a datacenter's lifecycle (sites, designs, bills of materials, equipment, and construction progress) in one trusted, permissioned source of truth
- Embed with datacenter, energy, and supply chain teams to understand how the work actually gets done, find the critical path, and build the tools they reach for first
- Bring order to messy data by migrating and reconciling spreadsheets and legacy trackers, and integrate with the industry's tools, like construction management, scheduling, and engineering systems
- Design for trust: fine-grained permissions, auditability, and data quality for information that steers major investment decisions
- Ship early, iterate with users, and cut anything that doesn't help bring compute online sooner
- Partner with research to understand new model capabilities and share where they fall short in engineering-heavy, physical-world domains
