Anthropic is hiring a Head of Business Technology Engineering to lead the organization that builds the internal systems and platforms the company runs on. This role oversees two distinct engineering tracks: Platforms (shared systems every employee depends on, including collaboration tooling and internal Claude integrations) and Forward Deployed (engineers embedded with business functions like Legal, Security, Communications, and Product Operations to prove Claude wins on real workflows, then hand off and move on).
You will lead a growing global engineering organization, managing multiple engineering leads and building out the team across both tracks. Key responsibilities include: scaling and developing the engineering organization; partnering with business function leaders to define a year-plus roadmap for how Anthropic's business functions work with Claude; running the Platforms track for reliability, velocity, and scale; running the Forward Deployed track for engagement, prioritization, handoffs, and adoption; serving as technical executive partner to leaders of Legal, Workplace, Communications, Product Operations, and Product Support; partnering with Labs and Product on dogfooding to feed signal back and ship internal builds that become external patterns; representing how Anthropic runs internally to Enterprise customers; and setting the engineering bar for production-adjacent builds, eval rigor, reusable patterns, and responsible internal deployment.
You will report to the Head of Business Technology and IT within the Security organization and will work closely with IT Engineering, Security Engineering, Labs, Product, GTM, and various business function leaders.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 12+ years in software engineering
- 6+ years leading engineers, including at least 3 years managing managers
- At least one org of 20+ across multiple domains that you structured yourself
- Experience running internal-tools, business-systems, or platform engineering at a company that added functions faster than it added engineers, with ability to speak to reliability outcomes on the platform side and adoption outcomes on the embedded side
- Lead through technical judgment: ability to go from agent architecture to eval design to failure modes with engineers, and your reviews make their builds better
- Ability to walk a General Counsel, Head of Workplace, or room of senior engineers through a trade-off, make a recommendation, and bring them to a decision they'll commit to
- Ability to hold a high bar on craft while saying no to low-leverage work and explaining the no
- Genuine ownership of how a frontier AI lab runs itself on its own models, with care for responsible deployment (real data, real permissions, real people)
STRONG CANDIDATES MAY ALSO HAVE:
- Forward deployed, software engineering, or applied AI leadership experience with external customers
- Product management experience or track record partnering closely with PMs and analysts
- Experience with corporate systems (Salesforce, Workday, Google Workspace, Slack) at platform scale
- Experience building career rubrics or leveling frameworks for new engineering roles, or standing up a forward deployed function from zero
MINIMUM EDUCATION: Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience in a field relevant to the role.
