Finance Systems Engineer, Revenue

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.

Anthropic’s Finance Systems team builds and owns the infrastructure that powers our quote-to-cash lifecycle—from pricing and billing through revenue recognition and financial close. As our revenue model grows in complexity, the team is moving beyond configuring off-the-shelf platforms and into building homegrown, production-grade financial applications that no vendor has built for us yet.

In this hands-on engineering role you will both configure and extend third-party platforms (Zuora, Stripe, Tesorio, Workday, NetSuite, Salesforce) and design, build, and own full-stack applications and integrations that sit on top of them. You will write production Python, Node.js, and React code, author Workato recipes and API integrations across our SaaS stack, administer and tune the systems themselves, and ship working software. You will work at the intersection of software engineering and finance to build and configure the tools that allow Accounting, Revenue Operations, and Order Management teams to operate efficiently and in compliance with SOX and ASC 606 requirements.

Responsibilities

• Own the architecture, development, and maintenance of Anthropic's internal finance applications, and own the configuration and ongoing administration of third-party platforms such as Zuora, Workday, and Tesorio
• Build and maintain integrations across the Finance systems stack: Zuora, Stripe, Workday, NetSuite, Salesforce, Tesorio, BigQuery and Billing applications
• Design system integrations that are auditable, observable, and recoverable—with the rigor that SOX compliance demands
• Identify manual, error-prone workflows in the month-end close and automate them with tested, production-grade solutions
• Partner with Accounting, Revenue Operations, and Order Management teams to translate business requirements into scalable technical designs—and then build them
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, data flow diagrams, and runbooks so the team can operate systems without engineering dependency
• Contribute to continuous delivery infrastructure so Finance systems can ship reliably and frequently
• Instrument the Finance systems stack with observability tooling so the team knows when a pipeline breaks before the accountants do
• Become the go-to domain expert for one or more areas of the revenue systems stack within your first six months

Requirements

• 7+ years of engineering experience and comfortable owning full-stack builds from architecture through production deployment
• Proficient in Python and JavaScript/Node.js; React experience is a strong plus
• Experience building and maintaining system integrations—REST APIs, event-driven pipelines, or ETL workflows—in a production environment
• Experience with BigQuery, Postgres, or similar data platforms and comfortable writing SQL for analysis, debugging, and reconciliation
• Business context to ask the right questions when Finance stakeholders explain problems (accounting expertise not required)
• Comfortable working directly in systems—configuring, troubleshooting, and building solutions yourself rather than solely managing vendors
• Thrives in ambiguous problems where solutions need to be built from scratch and enjoys working close to the business to see the impact of delivered code

Strong candidates may also

• Have experience with Workato, MuleSoft, or similar iPaaS platforms for enterprise system integration
• Have worked with Zuora, CPQ, NetSuite, Workday, or Stripe in a technical capacity
• Have built SOX-compliant systems or supported an external audit related to financial systems
• Have deep understanding of ASC 606 revenue recognition or consumption-based billing models
• Be a power user of Claude Code or similar AI-assisted development tools
• Have experience at a high-growth technology company navigating system consolidation
• Have object-oriented programming experience in Java or similar languages if Python/Node.js experience is limited

Compensation

• Annual Salary: $205,000 - $265,000 USD

Logistics

• Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
• Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
• Minimum years of experience: Will correlate with internal job level requirements (posting indicates 7+ years as a fit)
• Location-based hybrid policy: Expectation to be in one of Anthropic's offices at least 25% of the time (some roles may require more office time)
• Visa sponsorship: Anthropic states they do sponsor visas and retain an immigration lawyer to assist where possible

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and benefits
• Optional equity donation matching
• Generous vacation and parental leave
• Flexible working hours
• Office space in San Francisco for collaboration
