Anthropic is a safety-focused AI company dedicated to building reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. This Principal Data Center Architect role leads the design, construction, and standardization of Anthropic's high-density AI data center facilities across the United States and internationally. The incumbent will own the civil, structural, and architectural reference design standards, conduct site feasibility studies, manage design-build partners, and coordinate with mechanical, electrical, and IT teams to ensure facilities support demanding AI workloads while adhering to rigorous safety and performance criteria.

Requirements

Skills

  • 10+ years delivering mission-critical facility infrastructure, with at least 6 years directly in hyperscale or large-scale data center CSA design
  • Deep technical expertise across civil site development, structural design, and architectural programming for industrial or mission-critical facilities
  • Demonstrated experience as an owner's engineer or lead technical authority — setting standards, approving deliverables, and managing external design teams
  • Proficiency with applicable building codes and standards including IBC, IFC, ASCE 7, ACI 318, AISC, FM Global, and local jurisdictional requirements across multiple geographies
  • Experience with high-density compute environments, including structural and architectural accommodation of direct liquid-cooling systems, overhead busway, and dense rack deployments
  • Track record of driving design standardization and developing repeatable reference designs across a multi-site portfolio
  • Ability to evaluate and red-line structural calculations, civil site plans, and architectural construction documents for accuracy, completeness, and constructability
  • Experience coordinating across MEP disciplines and IT infrastructure teams in a fast-paced, multi-project environment
  • Clear and direct communication with both technical and non-technical audiences; ability to make and defend design decisions with incomplete information
  • Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in civil or structural engineering, or licensed architect (AIA / RA)
  • Experience with prefabricated and modular construction strategies for data center applications
  • Familiarity with geotechnical risk assessment and foundation design for large industrial facilities
  • LEED accreditation, Uptime Institute AOS/M&O certification, or equivalent mission-critical credentials
  • International project delivery experience (Europe, Asia-Pacific, or other regions)
  • Experience reviewing design packages in Autodesk Construction Cloud, Revit, or Navisworks

Responsibilities

  • Own the civil, structural, and architectural reference design standards for Anthropic's data center portfolio, establishing repeatable design elements deployable across multiple sites and jurisdictions
  • Lead front-end test fits and site feasibility studies, evaluating structural approaches, site constraints, utility interfaces, and code compliance to inform site selection and design direction
  • Review and approve CSA deliverables from design-build partners and AE firms at each design stage (SD, DD, CD, IFC), including drawings, structural calculations, specifications, and geotechnical reports
  • Integrate CSA design with mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and IT infrastructure teams to produce coordinated designs that support high-density AI compute and direct liquid-cooling systems
  • Drive site and campus planning to maximize compute density, optimize construction phasing, and align physical layout with IT and operational requirements
  • Partner with the construction and delivery team to provide technical oversight during construction, resolve field issues, and support commissioning activities
  • Evaluate and develop relationships with design partners, structural engineering subconsultants, and prefabrication / modular vendors; define qualification and performance standards
  • Establish and maintain facility support area standards — logistics staging, loading, maintenance access, and operational support spaces — scaled for hyperscale deployments
  • Identify modular and prefabricated construction opportunities that reduce schedule, cost, and design risk across the project pipeline
  • Manage review cycles and coordinate across internal and external stakeholders to resolve design conflicts and keep projects moving on aggressive timelines
  • Travel to project sites globally for design reviews, construction audits, and commissioning milestones (up to 40%)
