Tech Lead Manager, Agent Runtime Platform

Anthropic's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. The Agent Runtime Platform provisions and runs the compute and runtimes behind Anthropic's internal agents: secure, credential-managed environments where agents do real engineering and knowledge work at scale.

As an Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for ensuring your team identifies and removes friction and blockers to productivity, experimenting at the frontier, and building security and quality into agents. You will help bring clarity, focus, and context to your teams in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
