About the role

We are hiring a Strategic Sourcing Lead to drive development and execution of procurement strategies for the network infrastructure that powers Anthropic's data centers. In this role, you will own end-to-end sourcing for the full network stack — switching and routing platforms, optics and transceivers, structured cabling and fiber, and long-haul connectivity (dark fiber, IP transit, DCI). You will partner closely with network engineering, capacity planning, and third-party vendors to ensure hardware and bandwidth availability, establish strategic vendor relationships, and negotiate commercial agreements. As the sourcing lead for Anthropic's network footprint, you will play a critical role in helping us achieve our ambitious scaling goals.

Responsibilities:

• Drive commercial negotiations and Master Service Agreements with network OEMs (switching/routing platforms, optical equipment, network appliances) and connectivity providers (carriers, dark fiber operators, IP transit and peering partners).

• Audit network OEM and carrier procurement schedules, ensure optimal allocation, and drive cost efficiency of supply in constrained markets (especially high-demand items like 400G/800G optics and high-radix switches).

• Implement frameworks to ensure third-party data center and network partners adhere to commercial terms and technical specifications.

• Develop a global inventory strategy for network gear and optics — including warehousing, third-party logistics, buffer stock, and regional distribution — to accelerate time-to-deployment and improve availability.

• Proactively monitor global network supply chain volatility (silicon shortages, optics lead times, fiber availability) and execute contingency plans to avoid critical project delays.

• Translate network architecture roadmaps into equipment and connectivity forecasts and procurement pipelines.

• Partner with Finance to optimize network inventory strategy and capex planning.

• Establish efficient return and replacement (RMA) workflows with network vendors to restore failed equipment quickly.

• Negotiate warranty and SLA terms and track vendor performance on RMA execution and circuit delivery.

You may be a good fit if you:

• Have 7+ years of experience in supply chain management, sourcing, and procurement.

• Have a track record of developing processes for forecasting, planning, and managing network material and connectivity for data center build-out and/or operations.

• Are familiar with data center networking hardware and connectivity (e.g., switches, routers, optics/transceivers, structured cabling, dark fiber, transit, peering).

• Possess a bachelor's degree in a relevant domain or equivalent practical experience.

It's a bonus if you have:

• 10+ years of experience in supply chain management, sourcing, and procurement.

• 5+ years of experience sourcing data center network infrastructure.

• Experience working with network OEMs, integrators, optics suppliers, and carriers.

• Experience working on large-scale network build-out programs (greenfield data center networks, DCI expansion, etc.).

• Leadership and influencing skills.

About the role

As a Senior Data Center Capacity Delivery Manager at Anthropic, you'll embed with project teams responsible for delivery of leased and partnered data center capacity. Your primary role will be to lead these partners to deliver on the fastest possible schedule while maintaining a safe construction site and protecting the finished quality of the data center.

Additionally, you'll validate deal readiness, coordinate complex stakeholder relationships, maintain regular reporting and status tracking, and ensure seamless transitions from project inception through operational readiness. 

This role offers a unique opportunity to shape how Anthropic secures and activates the compute infrastructure needed to train and deploy frontier AI systems, working at the intersection of real estate, construction, and cutting-edge AI infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Lead. This is a role where leadership trumps management and process. You will be at one or more project sites 60% of the time or more and expected to shape the culture, approach, and aggressiveness that define those extended site teams. The goal is to impact outcomes in a favorable manner.
• You are expected to be a force multiplier that develops and enhances the skillset that development partners, general contractors, and key trades bring to the project(s) you are overseeing. That means being a subject matter expert in the various cross functional elements of data center delivery and increasing the team's performance with that knowledge and commitment to alignment.
• Confirm deal readiness and serve as the gatekeeper to validate transaction viability from Letter of Intent (LOI) through lease execution, ensuring all predevelopment, planning, technical and business requirements are met before commitment
• Partner with landlords and developers post-deal to serve as Anthropic's primary point of contact, coordinating across internal stakeholders, tracking construction progress, and facilitating critical information exchange between development partners and Anthropic stakeholders
• Represent Anthropic in key technical and operational decisions required by partners during the development process, ensuring our infrastructure requirements are met while maintaining strong partnerships
• Drive seamless handoffs to operational state with heavy focus on engagement across networking and deployment teams, enabling rapid workload turn-ups and minimizing time-to-production
• Prepare and present regular executive reporting on progress versus plan for facility development, supporting forward capacity planning and strategic decision-making
• Identify and mitigate risks throughout the delivery lifecycle, proactively addressing blockers that could impact timeline, cost, or technical requirements
• Develop and refine standardized processes and playbooks for facility delivery, driving continuous improvement as Anthropic scales its infrastructure footprint

You may be a good fit if you

• Have 10+ years of experience in the highest level of site leadership managing data center delivery, construction projects, or infrastructure deployment at scale.  You won’t have a big direct team to delegate too but will instead be able to treat the entire cross functional organizations at a jobsite as your team.
• Have a strong understanding of the end to end (dirt to delivery) data center development process to include entitlements and permitting, planning and supply chain, execution, commissioning, and handover. You are not an administrator but an active player in the arena comfortable making decisions and guiding delivery execution without the need to consult across multiple external parties.
• You should understand data center design and construction as a simple and repeatable process that allows you to build and optimize delivery without a playbook and with minimal processes and tools handed to you.  If you can think about building a data center the way kids might build a tree fort or construct a lego set, we want to talk.

In this role you will often be on an island and responsible for your own destiny. You will have free reign to develop your own approaches with the mission guidance being your only bounds. No one will be there to empower your efforts; you will create your own influence by building relationships at the site and diving in at all phases to deliver success.

You must thrive operating with ambiguity and have a willingness to own project outcomes, knowing that the buck stops with you.

In this role, it is imperative that you are as comfortable in boots on a job site working to solve productivity issues with a group of blue collar trades as you are working across executives at development and contractor partners to optimize contract and commercial structures that incentivize delivery speed.

It's a bonus if you

• Understand AI/ML infrastructure requirements, including high-density power and advanced cooling systems
• Have had leadership positions (General Superintendent, Project Manager) within a GC or EPC on hyperscale data center projects or in self performance of hyperscale data center development projects.
• Prioritize extreme ownership and have the ability to create winning cultures across diverse job sites.
• Are deeply familiar with lease negotiations, construction contracts, or real estate development processes and have strategies to move those arrangements from traditionally transaction and risk managed arrangements to collaborative efforts that align incentives around accelerated delivery of facilities

About the role

As a Cluster Deployment Engineer, you will own how large-scale AI compute clusters physically come together inside our datacenter fleet. You will set the deployment-engineering strategy for cluster build-out — how racks are organized into pods, halls, and sites; how compute, network, power, and cooling systems interface at the rack boundary; and how deployment scope flows cleanly from hardware specification to facility delivery to a running cluster. This role is focused on deployment engineering, not on datacenter network or systems design — your scope is making sure clusters land cleanly and predictably, not designing the fabrics or facilities themselves.

This is a senior individual-contributor role with broad technical influence. You will work across hardware, networking, facilities, supply chain, and construction to ensure that every generation of accelerator we deploy lands in a datacenter that is ready for it — on schedule, at full density, and with every piece of required infrastructure accounted for. You will be the person who sees around corners: anticipating how next-generation rack designs will stress our facilities, where our deployment model will break at scale, and what needs to change now so that the next cluster turn-up is faster and more predictable than the last.

You will operate at the intersection of engineering strategy and execution discipline, partnering with internal research and systems teams, external developers, engineering firms, and OEM partners to deliver cluster capacity at the speed the frontier demands.

Responsibilities 

• Own cluster-level deployment strategy — define how AI compute clusters are organized across the floor, how racks interconnect, and how cluster topology requirements translate into facility and deployment scope across a portfolio of sites.

• Set rack interface standards spanning power, network, mechanical, thermal, and spatial domains, and ensure that every deployment includes the complete set of infrastructure required to bring a cluster online.

• Drive multi-threaded cluster bring-up programs across hardware, networking, power, and cooling — owning plans, dependencies, and critical paths from hardware specification through energization and turn-up.

• Partner with internal engineering teams — research, systems, networking, and hardware — to translate cluster requirements into deployable facility scope, and to derisk onboarding of new hardware platforms well ahead of delivery.

• Lead external partner execution with developers, engineering firms, OEMs, and construction teams, driving technical reviews, deviation management, and handoffs that keep deployments on schedule and within specification.

• Improve cluster turn-up reliability and repeatability — identify systemic gaps in deployment scope, tooling, and partner interfaces, and drive durable fixes that reduce time-to-serve for new capacity.

• Define and track deployment KPIs — cluster readiness, schedule adherence, scope completeness, time-to-first-packet — and use historical trends to forecast risk and inform capacity planning.

• Coordinate cross-functional readiness across supply chain, security, operations, and construction to ship production-ready compute capacity.

• Provide crisp executive visibility on deployment progress, tradeoffs, and risks across a portfolio of concurrent cluster programs.

• Design cluster interfaces for durability — define rack and cluster-level interfaces that remain robust across hardware generations, so that facility scope and deployment models do not need to be reinvented every time the underlying hardware changes.

• Build cluster layout and BOM tooling — create and maintain the tools, templates, and data models that turn cluster topology and rack specifications into accurate floor layouts, deployment sequences, and complete bills of materials, replacing one-off spreadsheets with repeatable, auditable workflows.

   

You may be a good fit if you

• Have 10+ years of experience in hyperscale datacenter environments, with senior-level responsibility for cluster deployment, large-scale IT integration, or equivalent infrastructure programs.

• Have delivered AI, HPC, or high-density compute clusters at scale and developed a strong intuition for the constraints that govern cluster deployment — interconnect reach, adjacency, power density, and thermal limits.

• Can operate fluently across the boundary between IT hardware and facility infrastructure, and have set interface standards that held up across multiple hardware generations and sites.

• Have led cross-functional programs with both internal engineering teams and external developers, engineering firms, and OEM partners, and are effective at driving alignment across organizational levels.

• Combine strong systems thinking with execution discipline — comfortable zooming from cluster topology and portfolio strategy down to the specific interface detail that will otherwise become a field issue.

• Communicate clearly with technical and executive audiences, and can distill complex, multi-disciplinary programs into decisions and tradeoffs leadership can act on.

• Thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where the hardware, the scale, and the requirements are all changing simultaneously.

• Hold a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

   

Strong candidates may also have

• Have direct experience deploying leading-edge AI accelerator clusters at hyperscale.

• Have shaped reference designs, deployment standards, or cluster-level playbooks that were adopted across a fleet.

• Have experience working across multiple geographies and understand how regional codes, climate, utility constraints, and supply chains shape cluster-level decisions.

• Have partnered closely with hardware and system providers on long-term platform onboarding and bring-up.

• Have experience building the program mechanisms — roadmaps, milestones, risk registers, runbooks — that make delivery predictable at massive scale.
