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 databases underpin every service the company runs: Claude, our APIs, and the internal systems behind them. We're hiring a Technical Program Manager to drive the strategy and execution that takes this infrastructure to the next level of availability and scale. The mandate centers on three interlocking strategies:
- Cross-region: how our databases achieve resilience and locality across geographic regions
- Multi-cloud: how we run and operate databases across multiple hyperscalers
- Private, public, and hybrid cloud: how our database footprint spans owned, cloud, and mixed environments
Success in this role is a highly available, 24x7x365 database infrastructure that every Anthropic service can depend on, across regions, clouds, and deployment models.
Responsibilities
- Own the roadmap and execution across all three strategy pillars, turning architectural direction into sequenced, deliverable programs
- Coordinate across an unusually broad set of partners: database vendors, hyperscalers, internal platform teams, and infrastructure teams
- Manage external vendor and hyperscaler relationships at the working level: commitments, escalations, and joint roadmaps
- Drive the dependencies, risks, and tradeoffs that come with operating databases as critical infrastructure for every service at Anthropic
- Create program documentation including roadmaps, status reports, risk assessments, and communication plans
- Facilitate technical decision-making by bringing together stakeholders, driving consensus, and ensuring timely resolution of blocking issues
You may be a good fit if you
- Have several years of experience in technical program management, with a track record of successfully delivering complex, cross-functional programs
- Have experience with database, storage, or core infrastructure programs and can engage meaningfully with the engineers who design and operate them
- Have managed external vendor or cloud provider relationships at the working level, including commitments, escalations, and joint roadmaps
- Have experience with cross-region, multi-cloud, or hybrid cloud infrastructure (preferred but not required)
- Are 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
- Have excellent written and verbal commu
