Full Job Description

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 Anthropic's infrastructure footprint — datacenters, networking, compute, and facilities — is growing rapidly, and so is the need to track, account for, and govern those assets with precision and confidence. Our finance, accounting, internal audit, and infrastructure teams need a shared, trustworthy view of every asset from the moment it's purchased through receipt, deployment, transfers, and eventual disposal — with the controls, auditability, and reporting required to operate responsibly at scale. We've started building the systems to meet that need, and we're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join the build and own its ongoing expansion and maintenance. You'll work across a flexible asset data model, a configurable lifecycle and approval workflow engine, reconciliation against our financial and procurement systems, an ad hoc reporting layer, and a compliance backbone of immutable audit trails, role-based access control, and segregation of duties. You'll work closely with the infrastructure teams responsible for managing our fixed assets — understanding how they receive, deploy, move, and retire equipment — and translate those operational and technical requirements into reliable software. You'll also partner with accounting, audit, tax, finance, and procurement teams to ensure the system meets their controls and reporting needs, and you'll help establish the processes by which the team manages a rapidly growing and increasingly complex set of assets. Key responsibilities Build and extend the systems that track, govern, and report on Anthropic's infrastructure assets: the asset data model, lifecycle state machine
