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. 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
Claude has your back. AIRE has Claude's. Help us keep Claude reliable for everyone who depends on it.
AIRE (AI Reliability Engineering) partners with teams across Anthropic to improve reliability across our most critical serving paths -- every hop from the SDK through our network, API layers, serving infrastructure, and accelerators and back. We jump into the trenches alongside partner teams to make the systems that deliver Claude more robust and resilient, be it during an incident or collaborating on projects.
Responsibilities
- Develop appropriate Service Level Objectives for large language model serving systems, balancing availability and latency with development velocity
- Design and implement monitoring and observability systems across the token path
- Assist in the design and implementation of high-availability serving infrastructure across multiple regions and cloud providers
- Lead incident response for critical AI services, ensuring rapid recovery, thorough incident reviews, and systematic improvements
- Support the reliability of safeguard model serving -- critical for both site reliability and Anthropic's safety commitments
Requirements
- Strong distributed systems, infrastructure, or reliability backgrounds -- we're looking for reliability-minded software engineers and SREs
- Curious and brave -- comfortable jumping into unfamiliar systems during an incident and helping drive resolution even when you don't have deep expertise yet
- Think holistically about how systems compose and where the seams are
- Can build lasting relationships across teams -- our engagement model depends on being welcomed as teammates, not outsiders with opinions
- Care about users and feel ownership over outcomes, even for systems you don't own
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills -- you'll be partnering across the entire company
- Bring diverse experience -- the team's strength comes from people who've built product stacks, scaled databases, run massive distributed systems, and everything in between
