Sobre este puesto de Software Engineer, Beneficial Deployments en 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:
At Anthropic, we're building AI systems that are safe, beneficial, and transformative. Our mission is to develop AI that benefits humanity, and we believe the most powerful capabilities emerge when we thoughtfully bridge the gap between research breakthroughs and real-world applications.
Many of the people who could gain the most from Claude are the least able to buy it the usual way. A teacher often pays for tools out of pocket. A small nonprofit has no procurement team. A university lab that wants to use Claude has to go through funding, an IT office, and a purchasing department at once. Beneficial Deployments works to reach them, through programs like Claude for Teachers and Claude for Nonprofits and through our work with researchers.
What stands between those people and Claude is rarely the model. It's proving they qualify, getting the right price, buying in a way their institution allows, and landing in the right organization with the right permissions. Those steps run through identity, billing, provisioning, and fraud systems that were built for commercial customers. Our Access team makes them work for everyone else.
We're looking for engineers who find it deeply satisfying to remove the one thing stopping thousands of teachers or scientists from getting started. You'll work in other teams' codebases as often as our own, and much of the job is earning the trust of the engineers, accountants, and safety reviewers who own those systems. This role's focus is access. Experience with billing or identity is a big plus. What matters most is that you finish hard things that cross team lines, get the details right when money and trust are involved, and care about who is on the other end.
Core Responsibilities:
- Own programs like Claude for Teachers or Claude for Nonprofits from design through launch, operation, and support
- Support the verification lifecycle: how educators, nonprofits, and research labs prove eligibility, get reviewed at scale, renew, and are removed fairly when they no longer qualify
- Build pricing, billing, and provisioning that understands programs, including discounts, usage caps, credits, tax exemption, and self-serve purchase, so the next program is configuration rather than a project
- Build safe paths for organizations to move between their available plans and manage their teams, without losing data, seats, or history
- Work directly in partner teams' systems, such as billing, identity, and Safeguards
- Design for trust, with controls and audit trails that stand up to financial audit and student-privacy requirements
- Turn manual review, one-off fixes, and hand-run testing into tools that support, sales, and finance can use themselves
- Share on-call for program issues, and use what you see there to decide what to build next
You might be a good fit if you:
- Have 6+ years of experience building software, with strong backend or full-stack skills and solid grounding in data modeling, APIs, and databases
- Have owned systems where mistakes are expensive, such as billing, payments, identity, entitlements, provisioning, or eligibility
- Have a track record of finishing work that depended on several teams, without formal authority over any of them
- Are comfortable in a large codebase you don't own, and learn the rules its owners care about
- Sweat correctness and edge cases, and can say clearly what you tested and what you didn't
- Enjoy unblocking people and closing things out, and leave the underlying system better each time
- Prioritize well when demand is larger than capacity, including saying no and explaining why
- Communicate clearly across engineering, finance, sales, and support, and care about the societal impacts of your work
Strong candidates may also:
- Experience with subscription or usage-based billing, quote-to-cash, tax, or revenue systems, such as Stripe, Metronome, or Salesforce CPQ, or with building under SOX controls
- Experience with verification, KYC, fraud, or trust and safety systems
- Experience with enterprise identity and administration, such as SSO, SCIM, or large account and data migrations
- Experience building for schools, nonprofits, research institutions, healthcare, or government, or working with FERPA or similar privacy rules
- Experience launching in new countries, including currency, tax, language, and local eligibility
- Experience building products with large language models, or using coding agents heavily in your own engineering work
Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
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.
For roles performing work in California: We will consider for employment all qualified applicants, including those with arrest or conviction records or criminal histories, in a manner consistent with the requirements of applicable state and local laws, including the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, the City of Los Angeles’ Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance, the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance for Employers, and the California Fair Chance Act.
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.
