Technical Program Manager, API Platform

Responsibilities

• Drive scaling and core efficiency programs for the API stack from architectural direction through sequenced, deliverable execution
• Run multiple large programs simultaneously across infrastructure, networking, and the API layer
• Act as the connective tissue between API, infrastructure, database, networking, and inference teams, owning cross-org dependencies end to end

• Surface risks, progress, and trade-offs to engineering leadership with the right altitude and cadence

Requirements

• 7+ years of technical program management experience, with a track record of successfully delivering complex, cross-functional programs
• Experience with API platforms, distributed systems, and core infrastructure programs and can engage meaningfully with the engineers who design and operate them
• Experience driving scaling, performance, or efficiency programs for high-volume production systems, including the tradeoffs across performance, reliability, and cost
• Experience coordinating programs spanning many partner organizations, managing cross-team dependencies, commitments, and escalations at the working level
• 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, including where decision ownership is unclear
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence without authority
• Passionate about Anthropic's mission and interested in the challenges of operating AI infrastructure safely and reliably
