Staff Software Engineer, GTM AI Engineering

The posting, as Anthropic wrote it

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 a Staff Software Engineer on the GTM AI Engineering (Claudification) team, you will build the agents and AI systems that run Anthropic's own go-to-market work. Our sellers already work alongside agents every day. You will take things to the next step and build agents that run complete autonomous motions across areas like inbound, outbound, and pipeline management. In addition, you’ll build eval frameworks that prove those agents are ready for customer-facing work and are driving value. This is a senior role where you’ll drive technical direction for agents and evals across our team.

Working closely with sellers, RevOps, and our platform engineering partners, you'll own projects from first prototype through production operation. You'll combine full-stack engineering (MCP servers, agentic systems, web applications, etc.) with hands-on evaluation work (behavior benchmarks, production monitoring, ROI measurement), and help architect the shared platforms that builders from across our go-to-market org contribute to. You've worked in cultures of analytical rigor before, and you're eager to help shape the norms and best practices of a growing AI engineering function at a pivotal moment in the company's growth.

Key responsibilities

• Build and operate autonomous agents that run go-to-market motions end to end, across areas like inbound, outbound, pipeline management, and customer engagement
• Design the human oversight for each motion: approval gates, handoffs, and escalation paths that keep sellers in control
• Develop evaluation frameworks for agent behavior, and run them in development and in production
• Instrument model and tool calls in production, and build the observability and measurement that ties agent actions to pipeline and revenue
• Ship MCP servers, agent skills, and web applications that connect to systems like our CRM, communication tools, and data warehouse
• Set the technical direction for how we build, evaluate, and operate agents across the team
• Architect shared codebases that builders from across go-to-market contribute to, setting the conventions and review practices that keep quality high
• Work directly with sellers to ground agent designs in real workflows, and iterate based on what you observe
• Identify repeatable patterns and contribute insights back to Anthropic's Product and Engineering teams
• Maintain strong knowledge of the latest developments in LLM capabilities, agent frameworks, and evaluation techniques

Minimum qualifications

• Strong programming skills in Python or TypeScript, with experience building and operating production applications
• Pr

How we're different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
