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

We're looking for experienced software engineers to join our Public Sector Engineering team as a key part of our Claude for Government initiative.

This role requires strong expertise in developing enterprise software solutions with exceptional security, compliance, and scalability standards. As an IC engineer on this team, you'll solve unique challenges at the intersection of AI, public sector workflows, and mission-critical applications.
Core Responsibilities

• Understand public sector customer needs and translate them into technical and product solutions
• Work with legal and compliance teams to ensure all engineering practices meet government requirements
• Design and implement infrastructure solutions that meet federal compliance requirements (FedRAMP High, IL5, etc.)
• Develop automated compliance tooling and monitoring for government-specific security controls
• Develop MCP integrations while maintaining strict security boundaries
• Create identity management solutions, including SSO integration and role-based access controls
• Implement security features such as audit logs, encryption, and compliance frameworks
• Design and build scalable systems for enterprise deployment, user management, and administrative controls

You Might Be a Good Fit If You:

• Have 5+ years of practical experience as a software engineer
• Have a strong technical background in fullstack product work
• Have experience with identity management, SSO integration, and enterprise security standards
• Have experience with government compliance frameworks
• Have excellent collaboration skills, with ability to work effectively across functions
• Have a track record of delivering high-quality, scalable software in production environments

Strong Candidates May Also Have:

• Experience with multi-tenant architecture and enterprise deployment models
• Startup experience, particularly in scaling products from zero to one
• Experience partnering with sales and customer success teams
• Experience delivering software to government networks
• Active federal security clearance (Secret or above)

This position requires verification of U.S. citizenship due to citizenship-based legal restrictions. Specifically, this position supports a United States federal, state, and/or local government agency customer and is subject to certain citizenship-based restrictions where required or permitted by applicable law. To meet this legal requirement, citizenship will be verified via a valid passport, or other approved documents, or verified US government clearance.

The expected base compensation for this position is below. Our total compensation package for full-time employees includes equity, benefits, and may include incentive compensation.

Annual Salary:

$320,000-$485,000 USD

Logistics

Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
How we're different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact - advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI - rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
Come work with us!

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.

Ideally you'd have:

• 2-3 years of experience as a DevOps Engineer, DevSecOps Engineer, Software Engineer with a strong focus on CI/CD, or a similar role.
• Proven track record of building or significantly enhancing CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience configuring and adapting application code to integrate seamlessly with evolving CI/CD environments.
• Strong proficiency in scripting and automation (e.g., Python, Bash, PowerShell).
• Familiarity with various CI/CD platforms (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps).
• Knowledge of software architecture, system design, and version control systems.
• Comfort with rapidly changing, fast-paced environments and a passion for finding automated solutions to complex problems.
• Basic understanding of security best practices in software development and an eagerness to integrate them.
• A hunger for learning new technologies, particularly in the realm of integrating ML into automated workflows.
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, collaboration, and communication skills.
• Possession of an active Secret or TS/SCI clearance is beneficial, but not a requirement, for this Public Sector position.

Nice to haves:

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
