Technical Program Manager, Platform

Anthropic•San Francisco, NY

About The Position

As a Technical Program Manager for Platform, you'll own the programs that stand up and operate Anthropic's APIs and serving infrastructure across multiple cloud environments. This means driving deployments from scoping through production, running the platform work that spans them, and working across API, Platform Foundations, Security, our cloud provider counterparts, and whoever else is on the critical path when dependencies and tradeoffs pile up.

Requirements

Have 10+ years of technical program management experience, including ownership of large infrastructure or platform programs with many engineering teams and external partners in the mix
Have deep technical fluency in cloud APIs, infrastructure, distributed systems, or platform engineering, enough to be a credible partner to senior engineers on architecture and sequencing, not just a tracker of their decisions
Have run programs spanning organizational boundaries where you had no direct authority over most of the people whose work you depended on, and delivered anyway
Have direct experience with multi-cloud or hybrid cloud environments, large-scale migrations, or building platform abstraction layers
Have worked with major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) or similar large technology partners, and know how to keep those relationships productive when priorities diverge
Are comfortable operating in ambiguity on the long arc while being ruthlessly concrete on what ships this quarter and who owns it
Have a track record of making a program get cheaper to run the second and third time, not just landing the first instance
We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

Nice To Haves

Have experience with production serving infrastructure, inference systems, or ML platform work
Have moved between senior IC and management roles, or have interest in doing so
Have worked at a company rebuilding systems and org in flight during rapid scale-up

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end program execution for Anthropic’s API across major cloud deployments, from scoping through production launch and steady-state operations
Drive the platform programs that cut across individual deployments: the shared foundations that get built once and reused, not rebuilt per cloud.
Act as a primary coordination point with cloud provider counterparts, keeping engagement clean across multiple internal teams with touchpoints into the same partner
Partner with engineering leadership to turn technical direction into executable plans with clear owners, dependencies, and risk tracking
Build the program scaffolding (roadmaps, status reporting, decision logs, escalation paths) that lets a fast-moving org stay aligned without slowing down
Drive the hard sequencing conversations when partner commitments, engineering bandwidth, and priorities are in tension, and surface them to leadership with a recommendation
Identify where program coverage is thin relative to the load and help shape how we staff around it
