Staff Software Engineer, Education

Overview

Senior/full-stack engineering role focused on building Anthropic’s enterprise-ready AI-native education platform, including content delivery, learner assessment, credentialing, and progress tracking at scale.

What you'll do

• Architect and own the enterprise-ready education platform and infrastructure, including authentication/SSO, data models, delivery, credentialing, and progress tracking.
• Define the technical vision for how Anthropic delivers AI-driven educational experiences.
• Build AI-augmented pipelines for content generation, real-time adaptation, assessment delivery, and quality assurance.
• Design platform capabilities for adaptive learning, competency-based progression, and AI-evaluated skill demonstrations.
• Interface with security, infrastructure, and data teams to meet standards and integrate with existing architecture.
• Create platform abstractions so non-engineers can configure, extend, and experiment without engineering bottlenecks.
• Make product-level decisions about platform behavior to shape the learning experience.

What you'll need

• 7+ years of software engineering experience.
• Experience taking a platform from zero to production at scale.
• Full-stack engineering skills, with strength in backend systems (databases, APIs, authentication, reliability, infrastructure).
• Ability to build and operate platforms serving many concurrent users reliably.
• Comfort with ambiguity and ownership, translating pedagogical intent into technical architecture.
• Experience interfacing with security and infrastructure teams while maintaining development velocity.
• A working practice of using AI tools in engineering workflows.

Details

• Hybrid location-based policy: expect staff to be in one of the offices at least 25% of the time.
• Visa sponsorship is available in some cases, with reasonable efforts made if offered.
