Engineering Manager, UI Platform

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco, building reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. Claude.ai is Anthropic's flagship consumer product spanning web, mobile, desktop, and browser extensions.

We're looking for an engineering leader to own the foundational platform powering all Claude.ai surfaces: shared infrastructure, APIs, tooling, and systems that enable product teams to ship reliably, quickly, and with confidence. This is a highly technical leadership role: you'll stay close to the code, drive architectural decisions, and build systems that let others move faster.

• Lead and grow the UI Platform team, setting technical direction for reliability, performance, and developer experience across all Claude.ai surfaces
• Own foundational systems: shared components, build and deploy pipelines, observability, and performance infrastructure
• Drive improvements to developer velocity—reducing friction, improving tooling, and enabling teams to ship features faster and more safely
• Establish and maintain high standards for latency, reliability, and quality across the platform
• Partner with product engineering, infrastructure, and leadership to align platform investments with product priorities
• Create clarity and direction in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
• Build a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement

• Have 10+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time building platforms, developer tools, or infrastructure for consumer-facing products
• Have 5+ years of engineering leadership experience, including managing and growing teams in high-growth environments
• Have deep expertise in modern web development stacks (React, Next.js, TypeScript)
• Are passionate about developer experience and have a track record of building tools and systems that make other engineers more productive
• Have strong opinions on reliability, observability, and performance—and know how to operationalize those opinions at scale
• Can balance technical depth with strategic thinking, staying hands-on while also setting long-term direction
• Thrive in ambiguity and can create structure and clarity for your team
• Communicate effectively across functions and build alignment with product, design, and infrastructure partners

• Building and scaling platforms for multiple surfaces (web, mobile, desktop, extensions) with shared infrastructure
• Performance optimization and latency reduction in consumer-facing applications
• CI/CD, build systems, and deployment automation at scale
• Observability and monitoring systems (metrics, logging, tracing)
• Working on AI/ML products or in rapidly evolving product environments

Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience. Required field of study: a field relevant to the role. Hybrid policy: all staff are expected to be in one of Anthropic's offices at least 25% of the time. Anthropic sponsors visas and retains an immigration lawyer to help. Annual compensation: $405,000—$485,000 USD.
