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
Anthropic exists to ensure the world safely navigates the transition through transformative AI. That work is funded by commercial revenue — and every dollar of it runs through Billing Platform. We build and operate the infrastructure that turns product usage into revenue across everything Anthropic ships: Claude.ai, the Developer Platform, Claude Code, and whatever comes next.
Responsibilities
- Design and ship billing capabilities end to end — pricing primitives, payment flows, contract and entitlement models, revenue data pipelines
- Build for correctness first. Billing data is financial data; develop instincts for where idempotency, reconciliation, and audit trails matter
- Own the interfaces — the billing API a product team integrates against or the revenue dataset Finance closes the books on
- Make build-vs-buy calls. Decide where to extend third-party billing, payment, and tax platforms and where to build our own primitives
- Own the payments stack. Authorization rates and retry logic, processing cost, automated dispute response, and fraud controls
- Drive down the manual work. Enterprise contract amendments, pricing config changes, billing support escalations
- Operate what you ship. Own SLOs on customer-facing flows, instrument the revenue pipeline so discrepancies surface before month-end close
- Partner across the company — Growth, Sales, Finance, product teams
Requirements
- 8+ years building backend or platform systems in production, 3+ years leading large scale, complex projects or teams as an engineer or tech lead
- A track record of shipping in fast-moving environments where the requirements shift under you
- Care about correctness and data integrity as first-class design concerns
- Enjoy cross-functional work. Billing sits between Product, Finance, Sales, and Legal
Conditions
- Annual Salary: $405,000 - $485,000 USD
- Location-based hybrid policy: all staff expected to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time
- Visa sponsorship available
- Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
