About Anthropic

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

At Anthropic, we are building some of the most complex and large-scale AI infrastructure in the world. As that infrastructure scales rapidly, so does the imperative to optimize how we use it. As a Software Engineer for Compute Efficiency on the Capacity team, you will play a central role in making our systems more performant, cost-effective, and sustainable—without compromising reliability or latency.

You will work across the full infrastructure stack, from cloud platforms and networking to application-level performance, and will bridge the gap between high-level research needs and low-level hardware constraints to build the most efficient AI infrastructure in the world. You will help with building the telemetry, cost attribution, and optimization frameworks that ensure every dollar of our infrastructure investment delivers maximum value. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role at the intersection of systems engineering, financial optimization, and AI infrastructure.

Responsibilities:

  • Build and evolve telemetry and monitoring systems to provide deep visibility into infrastructure performance, utilization, and costs across our cloud and datacenter fleets.
