Requirements
Skills
- 8+ years of experience building backend systems, data pipelines, or internal platforms
- Tech lead level experience
- Systems thinker with deep understanding of data flows between systems
- Depth in integration engineering (REST APIs, webhooks, authentication flows, event‑driven architectures) or data infrastructure (warehousing, ELT/ETL, orchestration), and fluency in the other

Responsibilities
- Design and build data pipelines that aggregate risk, control, and asset information from across Anthropic's technology stack, solving hard integration problems like disparate schemas, inconsistent data quality, and unified views of posture
- Build and maintain integrations connecting our platform to cloud infrastructure, identity management, HRIS, ticketing, version control, and CI/CD systems to enable automated evidence collection and continuous validation
- Translate written policies and regulatory requirements into policy‑as‑code, turning static documents and spreadsheets into enforceable rules, automated checks, and continuous monitoring
- Design and deploy agentic workflows where Claude handles work that previously required manual effort, such as analyzing evidence, generating audit responses, and monitoring control effectiveness
- Develop dashboards and reporting that provide real‑time visibility into risk and compliance posture for audiences ranging from engineers to executives and external auditors
- Make architectural decisions that shape how the platform grows, establishing patterns and tooling that other engineers will build on
- Partner with Security, IT, Infrastructure, and product engineering teams to make controls and evidence collection native to how Anthropic builds and ships
- Operate what you build, owning reliability and data integrity for systems that audits and executive reporting depend on
