# Engineering Manager, Agent Prompts & Evals

**Company:** [Anthropic](https://hotfix.jobs/companies/anthropic)
**Location:** San Francisco, CA, New York, NY
**Role:** Engineering Management
**Salary:** $1 – $2
**Skills:** Llm Evals, Eval Frameworks, System Prompts, CI/CD, Dashboards, A/B Testing, Feature Flagging, Prompt Engineering, Claude, Ml Experimentation
**Posted:** 2026-03-26

> Leads team building eval platforms, system prompt infrastructure, and regression detection for AI model launches. Requires 3+ years managing platform/devtools teams, technical depth for system design, and collaboration across product/research orgs.

## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Lead and grow a team of prompt engineers and platform software engineers
- Own the product-side eval platform: the frameworks, dashboards, bulk runners, and CI integrations that product teams use to measure Claude’s behavior and catch regressions before they ship
- Own system prompt infrastructure: versioning, deployment, rollback, and review tooling for the prompts that run in production across claude.ai, the API, and agentic surfaces
- Be a steady hand through model launches — these are the team’s highest-stakes operational moments and the EM is the backstop when things get chaotic
- Build durable collaboration with other evals groups across the company; this means real work on ownership boundaries, shared roadmaps, and avoiding tragedy-of-the-commons on shared eval infrastructure
- Recruit, close, and retain engineers who want to work at the intersection of product engineering and model behavior
- Shape where the team invests next: there are credible paths into frontier eval development, model launch automation, and deeper prompt engineering support, and part of the job is sequencing them
- Push the team toward measuring things that are hard to measure — behavioral drift, prompt quality, harness parity — not just things that are easy

## You May Be a Good Fit If You Have
- 8+ years in software engineering with 3+ years managing engineering teams, including experience leading a platform, infra, or developer-tooling team where your customers were other engineers
- A track record of building “pits of success” — tooling and process that made it easy for other teams to do the right thing without needing to understand all the details
- Comfort managing a team with a mixed charter: platform ownership, service-to-other-teams, and a launch-driven operational rhythm, all at once
- Enough technical depth to engage on system design, review pipeline architecture, and be credible in debates with strong ICs — you don’t need to be writing code by hand every day, but you should be able to read it, review it, and be comfortable leveraging Claude to understand, design, and occasionally build
- A product mindset and willingness to wear multiple hats when the work calls for it
- Demonstrated ability to build and maintain peer relationships with partner orgs that have different cultures and incentives — negotiating ownership, aligning roadmaps, and holding ground when it matters without being territorial about it
- Experience recruiting and closing senior ICs in a competitive market

## Strong Candidates May Also Have
- Prior exposure to LLM evals, ML experimentation platforms, or model quality work — even tangentially
- Experience with A/B testing infrastructure, feature flagging, or gradual rollout systems
- Background in devtools, CI/CD platforms, or testing infrastructure at scale
- A history of managing teams that sit between two larger orgs and making that position an asset rather than a liability
- Interest in AI safety and alignment — not required, but it makes the “why” of the work land harder

## Compensation
**Annual Salary:** $1—$2 USD
