About Anthropic

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. The team is a quickly growing group of researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

Role overview

Anthropic's Safe Change team builds continuous-deployment and feature-flagging systems that make frequent changes safe and reliable. The continuous-deployment platform moves a change through staged promotion, runs health checks at each phase, and gives service owners levers to respond when regressions occur. The team provides tools to modify runtime behavior, roll out configuration safely, and test changes. You will lead a team building infrastructure relied on across Anthropic and partner with product, inference, security, and infrastructure teams to make deployment safety a standard property of the platform.

Responsibilities

• Set technical direction for safe deployment of code, infrastructure, and configuration across Anthropic's services
• Partner with product, inference, security, and infrastructure teams to migrate services onto the paved path and make safe deployment the default
• Drive the roadmap for progressive rollouts, health-check automation, first-class configuration deployment, and expansion to new deployment surfaces
• Define and track metrics that measure deployment safety and speed and hold the team accountable to them
• Create clarity for the team and stakeholders in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment
• Hire, coach, and develop an inclusive, high-performing team
• Represent the team across the engineering organization and contribute to engineering-wide initiatives

• Background in observability, health checking, or incident response, and a track record of improving production reliability
• Experience treating configuration as a first-class, safely deployed artifact
• A track record of building a culture of belonging and engineering excellence
