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
The Anthropic Platform Org’s mission is to help builders build. Our vision is to be the premier platform for businesses to transform themselves and their products with AI. This org is responsible for our APIs, self-serve developer experience, multi-cloud integrations, and agentic infrastructure. We serve a wide array of users from startups to large scale enterprises.
The Platform Team Is Comprised Of Three Key Areas
- Enterprise fabric – where we are building multi-cloud integrations at extreme scale across our entire stack to meet businesses wherever they are and in the most demanding of requirements.
- Frontier capabilities – where we are building developer experiences and features that enable users to get the most out of the model and build at the very frontier of intelligence.
- Agentic platform – where we are inventing the next generation of agentic infrastructure for production-grade use and building new products to enable businesses to solve problems with agents.
Responsibilities
Customer Understanding & Advocacy
- Deeply engage with enterprise developers and technical leaders to understand their integration needs and pain points
- Run regular feedback sessions and technical reviews with key enterprise customers
- Build strong relationships with enterprise development teams to understand their workflows and challenges
- Transform customer insights into actionable product requirements and priorities
Product Strategy & Vision
- Define and execute the enterprise API strategy, balancing security requirements with developer experience
- Develop a clear roadmap for enterprise API features including authentication, rate limiting, and compliance capabilities
- Identify and prioritize key enterprise integration patterns that drive organizational value
Enterprise API Development
- Partner with engineering to build enterprise-grade API features, security controls, and deployment tools
- Design and implement enterprise integration frameworks and SDKs for common enterprise systems
- Drive development of industry-specific API features and compliance capabilities
Cross-functional Leadership
- Partner with sales and customer success to understand enterprise requirements and support technical evaluations
- Work closely with security and compliance teams to meet enterprise standards
- Collaborate with platform teams on API architecture and scalability
- Engage with marketing to develop enterprise API positioning and technical materials
You May Be a Good Fit If You
- Have 10+ years of experience in high-scale, high-reliability developer-facing software.
- Have 5+ years of product management experience.
- Have built or shipped products with a hyperscaler as a partner — you know how to align goals and deliver impact across that boundary.
- Have owned a revenue number, a margin target, or a channel P&L — not just a product roadmap.
- Operate with high autonomy in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
- Are an excellent written communicator and able to drive clarity out of complexity.
- Excel at cross-company stakeholder management and can build trusted relationships at every layer of an organization.
Strong Candidates May Also Have
- Experience as a founder, GM, or early-stage operator where you owned commercial outcomes, not just product outputs.
- Direct experience as a PM at AWS, GCP, or Azure — or at an ISV that ships through one of their marketplaces.
The annual compensation range for this role is listed below. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
Annual Salary
$305,000—$385,000 USD
Logistics
Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
Your safety matters to us.

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.
Come work with us!
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.

Align your cloud certifications to AI infrastructure
Anthropic's Cloud Engineer roles sit inside an AI research environment, so certifications in AWS, GCP, or Azure carry more weight when paired with experience in GPU cluster management, distributed training pipelines, or high-throughput storage systems.
Target roles labeled infrastructure or platform engineering
Anthropic posts Cloud Engineer positions under several titles. Filtering for infrastructure, platform, or reliability engineering surfaces the highest-volume sponsorship track for this function and reduces time spent on roles with different hiring patterns.
Browse open Cloud Engineer roles using Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate aggregates Cloud Engineer openings at verified sponsoring employers like Anthropic, so you can filter directly by visa type and confirm sponsorship eligibility before you apply, rather than discovering the situation after an offer.
Request your LCA before your start date
For H-1B transfers to Anthropic, your new employer must file a certified Labor Condition Application with the DOL before petitioning USCIS. Confirming this timeline with your recruiter at the offer stage prevents a gap between your last day and portability protection.
Clarify E-3 and H-1B1 eligibility early if you qualify
Australian and Chilean or Singaporean nationals can use the E-3 visa or H-1B1 visa pathways, both cap-exempt and processable at a U.S. consulate without the lottery. Raising this with your Anthropic recruiter before the offer letter is drafted speeds the sponsorship decision considerably.
Prepare documentation showing systems ownership not just contribution
Anthropic's specialty occupation determination for Cloud Engineers typically requires evidence that your degree and role share a direct relationship. Letters of recommendation and project documentation that show you designed and owned systems, not just operated them, strengthen your H-1B petition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Anthropic sponsor H-1B visas for Cloud Engineers?
Yes, Anthropic sponsors H-1B visas for Cloud Engineer roles and has done so consistently. The company participates in the annual H-1B cap lottery for new applicants and also supports cap-exempt transfers for candidates already holding H-1B status with another employer, which bypasses the lottery entirely and allows for a faster start.
Which visa types does Anthropic commonly sponsor for Cloud Engineers?
Anthropic sponsors H-1B visas for the broadest range of Cloud Engineer candidates. Australian citizens can pursue the E-3 visa, which is cap-exempt and processed at a U.S. consulate without lottery exposure. Chilean and Singaporean nationals may qualify for the H-1B1 visa, another cap-exempt option. All three classifications require an employer-filed Labor Condition Application certified by the DOL.
How do I apply for Cloud Engineer jobs at Anthropic?
Applications go through Anthropic's careers portal, where Cloud Engineer roles are posted under infrastructure, platform, and reliability engineering categories. You can also find and filter verified sponsoring openings on Migrate Mate, which lets you confirm visa sponsorship before investing time in an application. Tailoring your resume to highlight distributed systems design and cloud-native architecture at scale improves your chances at the screening stage.
What qualifications and experience does Anthropic expect for Cloud Engineer roles?
Anthropic's Cloud Engineer postings typically require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, computer engineering, or a closely related field, alongside hands-on experience with large-scale cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, or Azure. Experience with Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code tooling like Terraform, and systems that support machine learning workloads is frequently listed as a core requirement rather than a preference.
How do I plan my timeline if I need Anthropic to sponsor my H-1B?
If you need a new H-1B, plan around the April 1 filing deadline and the October 1 employment start date that governs the cap season. USCIS opens registration in March, so you need an offer in hand before that window. Premium processing is available and currently cuts the adjudication period to roughly 15 business days, which matters if your OPT or current status expires close to your intended start date.
