About the role

Every engineer at Anthropic depends on the path from pull request to production.
the opportunity is to integrate them into a single fast, predictable system that scales with the volume of code shipping into Claude and our research infrastructure.
In this role, you'll be responsible for making "time from push to healthy in production" a metric the whole company can rely on.

Own the build, test, merge, and deploy pipeline end to end - what runs on each PR, what auto-approves, what gates merge, and how a change progresses to running healthy in production
Drive down and defend "time from push to healthy in prod" as a core engineering metric
Design and tune AI-assisted code review so confidence-to-land scales with PR volume
Shape CI and repository topology (build graph, test targeting, scope boundaries) to match how the company actually ships
Partner with platform, delivery infrastructure, and security teams, and represent Developer Productivity in cross-org pipeline decisions
Design processes (postmortem review, incident response, on-call) that help the team operate reliably and never fail the same way twice
Demonstrated ability to work across team boundaries - building consensus with platform, security, and product engineering stakeholders

Significant backend or developer-infrastructure engineering experience, with hands-on responsibility for a high-leverage CI/CD, merge queue, or land pipeline at scale
Proficiency in Python and at least one statically-typed systems language (e.g., Go or Rust)
Experience operating CI/CD or release systems through production incidents, including writing postmortems and driving remediations
Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

7+ years of backend or developer-infrastructure experience
Experience with Bazel or similar build-graph / test-targeting systems at monorepo scale
A track record of leading - or making the well-reasoned case against - a repo split, monorepo extraction, or comparable scope-boundary migration
A history of authoring engineering policy or paved-path tooling that other teams adopted voluntarily
Familiarity with Kubernetes, Buildkite, GitHub Actions, or comparable CI/deploy substrates
Interest in the safe and beneficial development of AI
Reducing p50 merge-to-production time by re-architecting the merge queue and test selection strategy
Designing a flaky-test quarantine and burndown system that returned CI signal to >99% reliability

$405,000 - $485,000 USD
Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Build the deploy and release path - canary, progressive rollout, health checks, automated rollback - in partnership with the platform teams who own the underlying substrate
Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

Comfort using AI coding tools as a daily part of your workflow, with informed opinions on where they provide leverage
