Anthropic’s API is the foundation that customers, developers, and our own products build on, and it is scaling fast. We’re hiring a Technical Program Manager to drive the scaling and core efficiency programs for the API stack, working at the intersection of the API and the infrastructure it runs on (compute, databases, networking, and inference). This role spans many teams and programs, requiring a leader who can connect isolated workstreams into a coherent roadmap, make cross‑org dependencies visible before they become blockers, and create clarity on ownership and decisions.

Salary

USD 365,000 - 435,000

Requirements

Skills

  • 7+ years of technical program management experience, with a track record of successfully delivering complex, cross-functional programs
  • Experience with API platforms, distributed systems, and core infrastructure programs
  • Experience driving scaling, performance, or efficiency programs for high-volume production systems, including trade-offs across performance, reliability, and cost
  • Experience coordinating programs spanning many partner organizations, managing cross-team dependencies, commitments, and escalations
  • Highly organized and able to manage multiple parallel workstreams effectively across distributed teams
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence without authority
  • Passionate about Anthropic's mission and interested in operating AI infrastructure safely and reliably

Responsibilities

  • Drive scaling and core efficiency programs for the API stack from architectural direction through sequenced, deliverable execution
  • Run multiple large programs simultaneously across infrastructure, networking, and the API layer
  • Act as the connective tissue between API, infrastructure, database, networking, and inference teams, owning cross-org dependencies end to end
  • Establish decision‑making clarity: who owns what, where trade‑offs get made, and how isolated streams roll up into one program view
  • Surface risks, progress, and trade‑offs to engineering leadership with the right altitude and cadence
