Anthropic is looking to build and scale the networking infrastructure that powers Claude and their AI research. This requires experienced network engineers who are also skilled software developers to ensure reliable and performant network operations.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in network engineering, with hands-on experience building and operating production networks
- Strong software development skills (Python, Go, or similar) and experience building network automation, tooling, or infrastructure software
- Deep understanding of networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, BGP, ISIS, OSPF, VLANs, VPCs, routing, switching, and network security
- Experience with the full stack of networking—from physical layer concerns (cabling, optics, hardware) through software-defined networking
- Comfort working with Linux, command-line tools, and infrastructure-as-code approaches
- Track record of debugging complex distributed systems issues that span network, compute, and application layers
- Experience scaling networks in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure) and/or on-premises data centers
Responsibilities
- Design, deploy, and maintain high-performance networks across multiple data center sites, including managing physical infrastructure, routing protocols, and network security
- Write software to automate network provisioning, configuration management, and operational workflows
- Implement comprehensive monitoring, build debugging tools, investigate outages, and drive continuous reliability improvements
- Plan and execute network expansions to new sites and facilities, including working with vendors, managing physical builds, and migrating live traffic
- Partner with compute, storage, and ML infrastructure teams to optimize network performance for AI workloads and troubleshoot complex distributed systems issues
- Participate in on-call rotation and lead response to network-related incidents
Other
- Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively with diverse teams
- Generalist mindset
- End-to-end problem solver
- Builder mentality
- High adaptability
