Ode with Anthropic, New York Office
This role is designed for former engineering leaders (IC or EM) or founders who are comfortable owning end-to-end technical outcomes but specifically want to continue being impactful as individual contributors and spend more time in the code.
You'll work on a small, high-caliber team (2–5 engineers and a PM) building AI products for our clients. You'll set technical direction, write code, and be the person the team looks to when something is hard.
You'll spend roughly 75% of your time in code and 25% working directly with clients — often their CTOs — understanding problems, walking through tradeoffs, and making sure what we’re building meets their needs.
Most engineers take a decade to see this range of hard problems across this many domains. Here, you'll do it in your first year. To make this possible, we are religious about being the best company in the world to learn Applied AI engineering practices.
We have a distinct approach to building AI systems: applying standard software engineering discipline to the non-deterministic world of frontier AI. We design systems around testable hypotheses, curate durable data sets, and ensure what we ship keeps working long after we've handed it over.
After shipping 30+ AI products, we have strong opinions on what makes AI products succeed and how to get them into production. We think you'll find it refreshing if you've seen how most companies approach AI.
A typical engineer here ships two to three products per year and learns from dozens more. You have outsized autonomy on each product — but you won't have a year to polish a single system. The upside is constant time on the frontier of models and tooling, and a muscle for AI product development that's hard to build anywhere else.
Most engineers look back at this as the biggest growth period of their career. But it's possible you won't like it — we recommend using the interview process to hear what our engineers think.
Work Arrangement: 4 days in-person, Fridays remote
