Staff Software Engineer, Education

Anthropic is seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer to help build the technical foundation for how Anthropic educates customers and enterprises at scale. You'll own the technical vision for our AI-driven educational experience: the platform layer, enterprise readiness features, the data architecture, the AI-augmented pipelines, the integrations, and the delivery systems.

• Architect and own Anthropic’s enterprise ready education platform and infrastructure — authentication/SSO, learner data models, content delivery, credentialing, and progress tracking.
• Own the technical vision for how Anthropic delivers AI-driven educational experiences.
• Build AI-augmented pipelines for content generation, real-time adaptation, assessment delivery, and quality assurance.
• Design platform capabilities that enable adaptive paths, competency-based progression, and AI-evaluated demonstrations of skill.
• Interface with security, infrastructure, and data teams to ensure education systems meet organizational standards.
• Build platform abstractions that let non-engineers configure, extend, and experiment with educational experiences.
• Make product-level decisions about how the platform works.

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated ability to take a platform from zero to production at scale.
• Genuine passion for education.
• A strong eye for quality educational content.
• Full-stack engineering skills with particular strength in backend systems: databases, APIs, authentication, reliability, and infrastructure.
• Experience building and operating platforms that serve many concurrent users reliably.
• Comfort with ambiguity and ownership.
• Experience interfacing with security and infrastructure teams.
• A working practice of using AI tools in your own engineering workflows.

• Experience building or significantly contributing to learning platforms, credentialing systems, or educational technology products.
• Background in learning science, instructional design, or educational research.
• Experience with SSO/identity (SAML, OAuth), badging standards (Open Badges), or LTI integrations.
• Familiarity with building systems that incorporate LLM capabilities as core infrastructure.
• Prior work at a high-growth company where you built platform infrastructure.
• Experience designing systems that non-technical users configure and operate.
