Engineering Manager, Marketplace

Details

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the role

A growing ecosystem of partners is building products on top of Claude. We're hiring an Engineering Manager to expand our Marketplace Platform. You'll shape the platform capabilities of a product surface that spans customer-facing discovery, partner-facing self-serve tooling, the business logic that orchestrates deals between them, and the authentication layer that lets users move seamlessly between Claude and partner products. This is a 0→1 role with a broad mandate and tight integration seams across several other platform teams.

About the team

The team owns a new product layer within the Platform organization. Its scope spans the customer-facing surfaces where enterprises engage with the broader Claude ecosystem, the partner-facing surfaces that support companies building on Anthropic's platform, and the workflows and orchestration that sit between them. The team builds on top of identity, tenancy, authorization, and billing primitives owned by other platform teams rather than rebuilding them — a meaningful part of the role is making those seams clean and durable as the product grows.

Responsibilities

• Form the team — hire the founding engineers, set the technical direction, and establish how the team operates
• Own engineering execution end-to-end: planning, prioritization, delivery quality, team health, and incident response
• Partner with product and design to shape the roadmap — not just execute against it
• Work directly with enterprise customers and ecosystem partners alongside the go-to-market organization, joining key conversations and turning what you learn into engineering priorities
• Manage the integration seams with billing, auth & identity, and other platform teams — coordination across these boundaries is one of the largest sources of timeline risk
• Drive the platform-readiness work this product layer requires, partnering with security, legal, and operations as self-serve capabilities displace manual ones
• Recruit, onboard, and grow strong engineers; give direct feedback and build a healthy, high-performing team

Requirements / Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
• Minimum years of experience will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
• Demonstrated experience taking a product or platform from 0 to 1 — forming a team, making early architectural calls, and shipping the first version with limited precedent
• Skilled engineering manager with strong 1:1s, feedback, and investment in team growth
• Experience leading work that sits at seams between teams and coordinating across boundaries
• Comfortable working with customers and partners directly and joining conversations alongside sales, customer success, and business development

Strong candidates may also have

• Experience building multi-sided platforms or partner ecosystems at enterprise scale
• Background designing business logic and orchestration around financial systems (without owning the financial primitives)
• Experience shipping authentication and integration products from a developer-experience perspective
• Background building self-serve tooling that displaces manual operations as volume grows
• Experience where customer-facing and partner-facing surfaces evolve in parallel and need to stay coherent

Compensation

Annual Salary: $405,000 - $485,000 USD

For sales roles the range would be OTE; this role's range above is annual pay.

Logistics

• Locations listed: San Francisco, CA and Seattle, WA
• Location-based hybrid policy: currently, staff are expected to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time
• Visa sponsorship: Anthropic states they do sponsor visas and retain an immigration lawyer to help (though sponsorship is not guaranteed for every role/candidate)
• Applicants asked about relocation and whether they require visa sponsorship as part of the application

How we're different

Short description of Anthropic's research culture: collaborative, focused on large-scale research directions (references to GPT-3, interpretability, scaling laws, AI safety, learning from human preferences), and emphasis on communication skills and high-impact work.

Additional notes

Anthropic offers competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and office spaces for collaboration. The posting encourages candidates to apply even if they do not meet every qualification and contains guidance to protect applicants from scams.
