Staff Software Engineer, Infrastructure Asset Systems

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

Anthropic's infrastructure footprint — datacenters, networking, compute, and facilities — is growing rapidly, and so is the need to track, account for, and govern those assets with precision and confidence. Our finance, accounting, internal audit, and infrastructure teams need a shared, trustworthy view of every asset from the moment it's purchased through receipt, deployment, transfers, and eventual disposal — with the controls, auditability, and reporting required to operate responsibly at scale.

We've started building the systems to meet that need, and we're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join the build and own its ongoing expansion and maintenance. You'll work across a flexible asset data model, a configurable lifecycle and approval workflow engine, reconciliation against our financial and procurement systems, an ad hoc reporting layer, and a compliance backbone of immutable audit trails, role-based access control, and segregation of duties.

You'll work closely with the infrastructure teams responsible for managing our fixed assets — understanding how they receive, deploy, move, and retire equipment — and translate those operational and technical requirements into reliable software. You'll also partner with accounting, audit, tax, finance, and procurement teams to ensure the system meets their controls and reporting needs, and you'll help establish the processes by which the team manages a rapidly growing and increasingly complex set of assets.

Key responsibilities

Build and extend the systems that track, govern, and report on Anthropic's infrastructure assets: the asset data model, lifecycle state machine, approval workflow engine, reconciliation pipelines, and reporting layer

Build durable, well-tested integrations with our financial and procurement systems as the bidirectional system of record for fixed asset events

Implement and maintain the compliance surface: immutable event logging, tamper-evident audit trails, role-based access control with least-privilege defaults, segregation of duties, and period-close controls

Build internal-facing UI for accounting, audit, and infrastructure teams to receive, transfer, and dispose of assets and to run reconciliations and reports without engineering involvement

Work closely with infrastructure teams responsible for managing fixed assets to understand their workflows and translate operational requirements into software

Partner with accounting, audit, tax, finance, and procurement teams to translate controls and reporti
