Über diese Technical Program Manager, Databases Stelle bei Anthropic
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
Anthropic's databases underpin every service the company runs: Claude, our APIs, and the internal systems behind them. We're hiring a Technical Program Manager to drive the strategy and execution that takes this infrastructure to the next level of availability and scale. The mandate centers on three interlocking strategies:
- Cross-region: how our databases achieve resilience and locality across geographic regions
- Multi-cloud: how we run and operate databases across multiple hyperscalers
- Private, public, and hybrid cloud: how our database footprint spans owned, cloud, and mixed environments
Success in this role is a highly available, 24x7x365 database infrastructure that every Anthropic service can depend on, across regions, clouds, and deployment models.
Responsibilities
- Own the roadmap and execution across all three strategy pillars, turning architectural direction into sequenced, deliverable programs
- Coordinate across an unusually broad set of partners: database vendors, hyperscalers, internal platform teams, and infrastructure teams
- Manage external vendor and hyperscaler relationships at the working level: commitments, escalations, and joint roadmaps
- Drive the dependencies, risks, and tradeoffs that come with operating databases as critical infrastructure for every service at Anthropic
- Create program documentation including roadmaps, status reports, risk assessments, and communication plans
- Facilitate technical decision-making by bringing together stakeholders, driving consensus, and ensuring timely resolution of blocking issues
You may be a good fit if you
- Have several years of experience in technical program management, with a track record of successfully delivering complex, cross-functional programs
- Have experience with database, storage, or core infrastructure programs and can engage meaningfully with the engineers who design and operate them
- Have managed external vendor or cloud provider relationships at the working level, including commitments, escalations, and joint roadmaps
- Have experience with cross-region, multi-cloud, or hybrid cloud infrastructure (preferred but not required)
- Are highly organized and can manage multiple parallel workstreams effectively across distributed teams
- Thrive in unstructured environments with a knack for bringing order to chaos and creating clarity in ambiguous situations
- Have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence without authority
- Are passionate about Anthropic's mission and interested in the challenges of operating AI infrastructure safely and reliably

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.
