Manager, Corporate Network Engineering

The Corporate Network Engineering team owns Anthropic's corporate network: wired, wireless, and edge infrastructure in offices and research facilities worldwide. The team holds the network to the bar of a production service—designed for failure, managed as code, observable end-to-end, and secure by default. You'll set technical direction, own architecture standards, lead vendor and platform decisions, and grow a small team of network engineers. You'll report to the head of IT Engineering and partner with Security, Physical Security, Workplace, Real Estate, Procurement, and production networking teams.

• Lead and grow the Corporate Network Engineering team—hiring, development, performance, planning, and prioritization.
• Set technical direction and own final call on architecture standards across edge, campus switching, wireless, segmentation, out-of-band management, and telemetry.
• Own reliability and operations: monitoring, incident response, on-call model, change safety, and lifecycle currency.
• Move the fleet toward network-as-code: templated configuration, staged rollouts, drift detection, and automation.
• Partner with Security Engineering on network authentication, segmentation, and detection.
• Deliver networks for new offices and research facilities and upgrade existing sites through live migrations.
• Own vendor, carrier, and integrator relationships and the network hardware budget.

• 10+ years designing, building, and operating enterprise campus and edge networks, including at least one environment with dozens of sites across regions.
• 5+ years leading engineers, including at least 3 years as a people manager.
• Lead through technical judgment; default to secure design; pragmatic about build, buy, or automate.
• Run the operational side: out-of-band access, monitoring, on-call model, change safety.
• Communicate clearly with engineers, executives, contractors, and landlords.

• Enterprise edge: firewalls and routing (HA design, routing protocols, policy management).
• Campus switching and high-density enterprise wireless (L2/L3 design, redundancy, RF design, 6 GHz).
• Segmentation and access control (certificate-based 802.1X, dynamic segmentation, guest and IoT isolation).
• Out-of-band management and secure administrative access.
• Network automation and configuration as code (Python, templating, vendor APIs, source control, CI).
• Network observability (streaming telemetry, flow and log pipelines).
• Physical infrastructure for buildouts (MDF/IDF design, structured cabling, power and cooling).
