About the company
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.
About the role
Anthropic's Corporate Systems team runs the core collaboration platforms everyone here works in and builds the tooling and automation behind IT. You'll own the IT side of Anthropic's acquisitions: due diligence, integration planning, and integration. This is a hands-on engineering role.
Responsibilities
- Lead technical IT due diligence: assess a company's identity, applications, endpoints, and infrastructure, and brief the deal team on risk and effort before close
- Find the gaps between an acquired environment and Anthropic's security model, rate them, and build the mitigations into the integration plan
- Define the technical integration plan and its requirements: what moves, where it lands, in what order, and what has to be ready on day one
- Run the integration: take over administration, migrate people, devices, and data, and retire what's no longer needed
- Work with Business Technology, Client Platform, Corporate Network, IT Operations, and Security on their parts of each integration
- Keep Corporate Development, Legal, People, Finance, and the acquired company's team clear on where IT stands
- Build a repeatable IT M&A playbook and automate as much of it as possible with Claude
- When M&A work is light, contribute to core Corporate Systems projects
Requirements
- 8+ years as a hands-on engineer in corporate IT
- Experience administering enterprise identity and collaboration platforms such as Google Workspace, Slack, and an SSO provider, and working code in Python or similar against their SaaS APIs
- Working knowledge of endpoint management and security concepts
- A proven ability to understand an unfamiliar IT environment quickly and deliver a prioritized view of risk to non-specialists
- A record of leading technical projects that span several teams and run to a fixed date
- Comfort working autonomously, with ambiguity and confidential information
- Clear communication with executives, legal and corporate development teams, and engineers at acquired companies
Nice to have
- Prior M&A, carve-out, or company-to-company migration experience
- Experience across the full stack: endpoints, systems, applications, and infrastructure
- Hands-on experience managing a device fleet or running an MDM
- Experience working in or alongside a security team
- A record of building tooling that replaces manual IT work
- Using Claude or similar tools as a core part of how you work
Conditions
- Annual Salary: $325,000 — $360,000 USD
- Location-based hybrid policy: expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least part of the time
