About Anthropic Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About The Role

As a Technical Program Manager on the Compute team, you will help drive the planning, coordination, and execution of programs that keep Anthropic's compute infrastructure running efficiently at scale. Our compute fleet is the foundation on which every model training run, evaluation, and inference workload depends. You'll join a small, high-impact TPM team and take ownership of critical workstreams across the compute lifecycle, from how supply is procured and brought online, to how capacity is allocated and utilized across teams.

The exact focus will depend on your strengths and the team's evolving needs. You'll partner with Infrastructure, Systems, Research, Finance, and Capacity Engineering to shape the processes, tooling, and coordination mechanisms that allow Anthropic to move fast while managing an increasingly complex compute environment.

Responsibilities

: Own and drive critical programs across the compute lifecycle, coordinating execution across multiple engineering, research, and operations teams Build and maintain operational visibility into the compute fleet, ensuring the organization has a clear picture of supply, demand, utilization, and health Lead cross-functional coordination for compute transitions: bringing new capacity online, migrating workloads, and managing decommissions across cloud providers and hardware platforms Partner with engineering and research leadership to navigate competing priorities and drive alignment on how compute resources are planned, allocated, and used Identify and close operational gaps across the compute pipeline, whether through new tooling, improved processes, or better cross-team communication Own trade-off discussions between utilization, cost, latency, and reliability, synthesizing inputs from technical and business stakeholders and communicating decisions to leadership Develop and improve the processes and frameworks the team uses to plan, track, and execute compute programs at increasing scale and complexity You may be a good fit if you: Have 7+ years of technical program management experience in infrastructure, platform engineering, or compute-intensive environments Have led complex, cross-functional programs involving multiple engineering teams with competing priorities and ambiguous

Requirements

Have experience working with research or ML teams and translating their needs into operational plans and technical

Are comfortable diving deep into technical details (cloud infrastructure, cluster management, job scheduling, resource orchestration) while maintaining program-level visibility Thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where you need to define scope and build processes from the ground up Have strong communication skills and can engage credibly with engineers, researchers, finance, and executive leadership Have a track record of building trust with engineering teams and driving changes through influence rather than authority Strong candidates may also have: Experience managing compute capacity across multiple cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) or hybrid cloud/on-premises environments Familiarity with job scheduling, resource orchestration, or workload management systems (Kubernetes, Slurm, Borg, YARN, or custom schedulers) Experience with GPU or accelerator infrastructure, including the unique challenges of large-scale ML training and inference workloads Built or improved observability for infrastructure systems: dashboards, alerting, efficiency metrics, or cost attribution Capacity planning experience including demand forecasting, cost modeling, or hardware lifecycle management Scaled through hypergrowth in A
