Staff+ Software Engineer, Enterprise Connectivity

Details

Anthropic is building connected enterprise experiences for Claude across zero-touch activation, a connector ecosystem, and an enterprise control plane. This role owns the path from discovering a connector to using it every day, including default and suggested connectors, connector requests, identity, and administration features.

Responsibilities

• Own connector activation end to end, measuring the funnel from discovery to first use to habit, identifying drop-offs, and improving conversion.
• Build and run experiments involving default connectors, in-product suggestions, connector requests, and onboarding flows.
• Make setup close to zero-touch using open standards such as Cross App Access (XAA) and the MCP authorization specification.
• Improve frequently used connectors, including Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, so the first experience works reliably.
• Create reusable platform foundations that make connectors easier to launch, discover, and activate.
• Build the enterprise control plane, including administrative controls and governance features such as domain restrictions, labels, and permissions.
• Partner with product, design, data science, and sales to turn usage data and customer feedback into priorities.
• Set technical direction and standards, mentor engineers, and lead through influence.

Requirements

• Experience shipping growth or activation work, including onboarding flows, funnels, experimentation, and usage measurement.
• Familiarity with authorization and identity technologies such as OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and SSO.
• Experience building on large platform APIs, such as Microsoft Graph or Google Workspace, and debugging failures across system boundaries.
• Experience building platform or ecosystem surfaces used by other teams or developers, with an emphasis on durable APIs.
• Understanding of enterprise administration, security policies, permissions, and governance at scale.
• Ability to use data and user research to guide product decisions and explain tradeoffs to product and design partners.
• Experience driving cross-team and cross-company alignment through influence.
• Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience in a relevant field.

Preferred Qualifications

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, ideally including 2+ years at Staff or equivalent technical leadership level.
• Experience contributing to or implementing emerging authorization standards, including IETF OAuth drafts or MCP authorization.
• Experience with data governance or information protection, including sensitivity labels and DLP.
• Experience building administrative consoles or policy engines for multi-tenant SaaS.
• Experience running growth experiments on activation funnels.
• Experience building AI products or agent tool integrations using MCP.
• Experience growing a developer or partner ecosystem around a platform.
