Anthropic is expanding beyond cloud infrastructure, and this role sits at the heart of that effort. As a Staff Engineer on the Datacenter Server Lifecycle team, you will own the end‑to‑end operational journey of every machine in our global facilities – from initial provisioning and deployment, steady‑state operation, maintenance, and repair. This greenfield work will help define services, tooling, standards and processes for operating critical hardware at scale, powering frontier model development and serving. You will define AI‑native workflows for datacenter operations and drive innovations on efficiency, performance, and reliability.

Requirements
Skills
- Hands‑on experience with server hardware, including rack deployment, cabling, troubleshooting, and understanding failure modes at scale.
- End‑to‑end understanding of hardware lifecycle management: asset tracking, provisioning workflows, maintenance scheduling, and decommissioning practices.
- Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Rust, Go, or Java).
- Working knowledge of modern cloud infrastructure, including Kubernetes and large scale cloud providers (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP).
- Ability to communicate clearly and build consensus with a wide range of stakeholders.
- Comfort navigating ambiguity and making progress on complex, cross‑functional problems.
- Willingness to travel occasionally to datacenter sites across North America.
- 8+ years of experience in datacenter infrastructure management, or a closely related discipline.
- Hands‑on experience with GPU or AI accelerator hardware (e.g., NVIDIA A100/H100, Google TPUs, or AWS Trainium) and an understanding of their operational demands.
- Familiarity with modern provisioning and OS tooling such as LinuxBoot and NixOS.
- Experience building or contributing to datacenter automation or fleet management platforms.
- Experience building and deploying server operating system distributions across tens of thousands of hosts.
- Background in large‑scale capacity planning and hardware refresh strategy, ideally at a hyperscaler or large cloud provider.
- Experience with trusted compute and hardware security concepts such as secure boot, TPM, hardware attestation, and firmware verification — or a strong desire to develop deep expertise in this area.
Responsibilities
- Build automation to support datacenters containing tens of thousands of servers.
- Define and own the end‑to‑end system lifecycle strategy – from provisioning and deployment through operation, maintenance, refresh, and decommissioning – and maintain automation and operational procedures for common lifecycle events (e.g., hardware failures, firmware upgrades, fleet rotations).
- Partner closely with Infrastructure Security to design and enforce trusted compute standards across the server lifecycle.
- Work closely with our Networking team to ensure end‑to‑end connectivity across all sites.
- Build and maintain tooling to track machine health, configuration, and operational status across the full datacenter fleet.
