Engineering Manager, Passport

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

As Claude reaches more people — individuals, businesses, developers building on our APIs, and platforms building on top of those — knowing who's on the other side of a request becomes foundational to running our products responsibly. Passport is the team building that capability: a centralized identity, verification, and trust-grant platform.

We're hiring an Engineering Manager to build our Passport team. You'll expand the early team, define the architecture, and ship the first version of a platform that touches Claude.ai, our first-party APIs, and the third-party platforms built on top of them. This is a role with an unusually broad surface area: identity verification flows, a centralized trust graph, integration with our Safeguards organization, and a user-facing portal — all on the critical path for how Anthropic scales access to Claude safely.

About the team

Passport will own the customer verification and trust stack across Anthropic's products. The team's scope includes the entry flows customers go through to establish identity, a centralized model for coordinating and managing access, integration with review processes and the user-facing surfaces customers use to manage their trust across connected products. The team sits close to the product surfaces it serves and works closely with our safeguards, platform, and product organizations.

Responsibilities

• Establish the Passport team as a high performing contributing team to our wider model safety efforts — hire the early team, set the technical direction, and establish how the team operates
• Own engineering execution end-to-end: planning, prioritization, delivery quality, team health, and incident response on a system that's on the critical path for every Claude product
• Partner with safeguards, product, and design to shape the roadmap — and make the integration between automated decisions and human review work end-to-end
• Work directly with customers and the go-to-market team on verification and trust requirements, joining key conversations and turning what you learn into engineering priorities
• Drive the compliance and platform-readiness work customers and regulators require, partnering with security, legal, and the broader platform organization
• Coordinate across the product teams that depend on Passport, making migrations and integrations land cleanly
• Recruit, onboard, and grow strong engineers; give direct feedback and build a healthy, high-performing team
