Engineering Manager – Product Monetization, Billing Platform

Anthropic•San Francisco, NY

6d•Hybrid

About The Position

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. Anthropic exists to ensure the world safely navigates the transition through transformative AI. That work is funded by commercial revenue — and that revenue runs through Billing Platform. The Product Monetization team builds the on-rails that let every product team at Anthropic — Claude.ai , the Developer Platform, Claude Code — monetize features and convert users into paying customers without becoming billing experts themselves. The faster product teams can ship and charge, the faster Anthropic can fund the mission. We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead this team. You'll own the platform layer where product meets revenue: the integration contracts product teams plug into, the constructs that let the business run pricing experiments, the self-serve and promotional capabilities Growth builds on, and the payment methods that open up global markets. You'll partner closely with Growth, Safeguards, Legal, and the core Billing Infrastructure team, and work tightly with Customer Support to continuously improve the billing experience for customers.

Requirements

Have 3+ years of engineering management experience, with 8+ years total in the industry.
Have led teams building payments, billing, subscription, or monetization systems — and know firsthand how a small pricing change ripples through the whole stack.
Have strong opinions about platform boundaries and API design.
Are good at cross-functional work — Growth, Legal, Customer Support, Safeguards, and product teams will all have opinions and you need to keep them aligned.

Nice To Haves

Direct experience with modern billing and payment platforms — and opinions on when to build vs. buy.
Built or scaled local payment method adoption for international markets.
Run a promotional/offers platform that fed directly into growth or subscription conversion funnels.
Experience in a PLG or self-serve SaaS environment where billing UX is a conversion lever, not an afterthought.
Managed teams through regulatory or compliance-heavy work (consumer financial terms, tax, etc.).

Responsibilities

Lead and grow a team of engineers building the revenue-enablement platform — hiring, coaching, and setting a high technical bar.
Build the on-rails: clean billing API abstractions and integration contracts so product teams can onboard and launch paid SKUs seamlessly, without billing logic leaking into their stack.
Define and own the platform's reliability bar — tiered SLOs and SLAs organized by customer impact: error budgets on the "can the customer do the thing" flows, quality targets on everything else.
Build the platform constructs that let the business run pricing experiments and iterate on monetization models with real data.
Partner closely with Growth — own the promotional, trial, and self-serve billing platform they build campaigns on top of. Your team owns the platform; Growth owns the campaigns.
Expand payment method coverage globally, driving up authorization rates and conversion in markets where default card flows underperform.
Ship new monetization models that keep pace with how the product portfolio evolves.
Drive down time-to-market for new SKUs and product launches — the team's core input is "product team needs to charge for X," and your job is to make that fast.
