Technical Program Manager, Databases

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco, focused on creating reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. Anthropic's databases underpin every service the company runs, including Claude, its APIs, and internal systems. We're hiring a Technical Program Manager to drive strategy and execution for database infrastructure across three pillars: cross-region resilience and locality, multi-cloud operations, and private/public/hybrid cloud footprints.

• Own the roadmap and execution across all three strategy pillars, turning architectural direction into sequenced, deliverable programs.
• Coordinate across database vendors, hyperscalers, internal platform teams, and infrastructure teams.
• Manage external vendor and hyperscaler relationships at the working level: commitments, escalations, and joint roadmaps.
• Drive dependencies, risks, and tradeoffs of operating databases as critical infrastructure.
• Create program documentation including roadmaps, status reports, risk assessments, and communication plans.
• Facilitate technical decision-making, driving consensus and timely resolution of blocking issues.

• Several years of technical program management experience delivering complex, cross-functional programs.
• Experience with database, storage, or core infrastructure programs.
• Experience managing external vendor or cloud provider relationships at the working level.
• Cross-region, multi-cloud, or hybrid cloud infrastructure experience (preferred but not required).
• Highly organized, able to manage multiple parallel workstreams across distributed teams.
• Thrive in unstructured environments and create clarity in ambiguous situations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence without authority.
• Passionate about Anthropic's mission and the challenges of operating AI infrastructure safely and reliably.

Annual salary: $365,000—$435,000 USD.

Competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and office space.
