Staff+ Software Engineer (Enterprise Knowledge Work)

• Anthropic’s Enterprise Knowledge Work team builds the products that help enterprise knowledge workers collaborate deeply with Claude for major parts of their work
• Over the past year, AI has transformed how software engineering happens; for the rest of knowledge work, though, using AI still mostly means answering questions and producing first drafts — a small slice of the actual job
• We’re building toward something bigger: people and agents working together on every core work objective, from first idea to finished product, and the recurring work of a team running with Claude in the loop instead of a person pushing every step. It’s an enormous space, it’s early, and no one has built it well yet
• You’ll help decide what these products are, not just how they’re built — the product questions are as open as the architecture ones — and you’ll see your work land with real teams at the world’s largest enterprises
• Own technical design and delivery for enterprise-facing core products, end-to-end across the stack
• Partner with product, design, and go-to-market to turn enterprise customer workflows into shipped product, not just execute against a spec
• Set technical direction and standards for your team: architecture, code quality, and how the team builds
• Work directly with enterprise customers and sales during key conversations, translating what you learn into engineering priorities
• Work closely with research to make the models better in your domain: shaping evals, surfacing failure modes, and feeding customer learnings back into model development
• Mentor other engineers and raise the technical bar across the team, working with influence rather than authority
• Build the core primitives that enable knowledge workers across industries and roles to meaningfully leverage Claude
