This is an opportunity to make a real impact in one of the most consequential buildouts in the world.

About Anthropic

Construire des systèmes centraux qui suivent le cycle de vie d'un datacenter (sites, conceptions, factures de matériaux, équipements et progrès de la construction) dans une source de vérité unique et fiable.

Responsibilities

• Collaborer avec les équipes de datacenter, d'énergie et de chaîne d'approvisionnement pour comprendre comment le travail est réellement effectué, identifier le chemin critique et construire les outils qu'elles utilisent en premier.
• Apporter de l'ordre à des données désordonnées en migrant et en réconciliant des feuilles de calcul et des trackers hérités, et intégrer les outils de l'industrie, tels que la gestion de la construction, la planification et les systèmes d'ingénierie.
• Communicate clearly across engineering, operations, and research, and care about the societal impacts of your work
• Are deeply user-centric: you learn the domain from the people doing the work and validate with them before over-investing

Requirements

• Have a track record of zero-to-one work in startup or startup-like environments
• Bring high agency and good judgment about what matters, and hold strong opinions loosely
• Have 8+ years of experience building software, with strong full-stack skills and solid grounding in data modeling, APIs, and databases
• Have built software that teams in a physical-world industry depend on, such as datacenters, construction, energy, manufacturing, supply chain, or logistics
• 100% of the skills listed above
• Direct machine learning or AI research experience
• Formal certifications or education credentials

Candidates need not have

• Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
• Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
• Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
• We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification
• Experience in datacenters (at a hyperscaler, colocation provider, operator, utility, or engineering firm), or in adjacent fields like construction, logistics, or legal
• Experience with the domain's tooling, such as construction management (Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud), scheduling (Primavera P6), PLM/BOM, ERP and procurement, CAD/BIM, DCIM, or power system studies
• A background in electrical, mechanical, or civil engineering, energy systems, or supply chain alongside a software career
• Experience building products with large language models
