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.

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.
To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.
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.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Cloud Software Engineer Jobs at Anthropic
Align your portfolio to AI infrastructure work
Anthropic's Cloud Software Engineer roles sit at the intersection of distributed systems and large-scale model training pipelines. Before applying, make sure your portfolio highlights cloud-native work on compute-intensive or data-intensive systems, not general web infrastructure.
Confirm your visa category before interviewing
Anthropic sponsors H-1B, H-1B1 visa, and E-3 visas. If you're Australian, the E-3 path bypasses the H-1B lottery entirely. Knowing your category before your first recruiter call means you can address sponsorship directly without losing momentum late in the process.
Target teams running core model infrastructure
Cloud Software Engineer openings tied to model training, inference serving, or reliability engineering are the roles most consistently paired with sponsorship activity at AI research companies. Filter your applications toward these workstreams rather than applying broadly across all engineering listings.
Use Migrate Mate to surface active sponsorship openings
Anthropic posts Cloud Software Engineer roles across multiple channels, and not all listings signal sponsorship willingness equally. Use Migrate Mate to find and filter roles at Anthropic where visa sponsorship is confirmed, so you're not guessing from generic job board postings.
Get your credentials evaluated before the offer stage
If your computer science degree is from outside the United States, obtain a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved evaluator before you reach the offer stage. USCIS requires evidence that your degree is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's, and delays here can push back your start date.
Understand the LCA filing timeline relative to your start date
Your employer must file a Labor Condition Application with the DOL and receive certification before submitting your H-1B or E-3 petition. DOL processing typically runs seven business days, so factor this into your expected start date when negotiating with Anthropic's recruiting team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Anthropic sponsor H-1B visas for Cloud Software Engineers?
Yes, Anthropic sponsors H-1B visas for Cloud Software Engineer roles. The company also sponsors H-1B1 visas for Chilean and Singaporean nationals and E-3 visas for Australian citizens, which bypass the H-1B lottery. If you're in the H-1B pool, Anthropic files cap-subject petitions through the annual USCIS lottery that opens in March.
How do I apply for Cloud Software Engineer jobs at Anthropic?
Applications go through Anthropic's careers page or job boards where their listings are syndicated. The process typically runs several rounds, including a technical screen focused on distributed systems, cloud architecture, and coding, followed by a systems design interview. Migrate Mate aggregates Anthropic's sponsored Cloud Software Engineer openings in one place, so you can track active roles without checking multiple sources.
Which visa types are most commonly used for Cloud Software Engineer roles at Anthropic?
The H-1B is the most common pathway for Cloud Software Engineers at Anthropic, covering most nationalities. Australian citizens typically use the E-3, which has no lottery and renews in two-year increments. Chilean and Singaporean nationals may qualify for the H-1B1 visa, which also avoids the H-1B lottery. All three require a certified Labor Condition Application filed by Anthropic with the DOL before the petition is submitted.
What qualifications does Anthropic expect for Cloud Software Engineer roles?
Anthropic's Cloud Software Engineer roles are oriented toward distributed systems at scale, typically requiring experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP, container orchestration, and high-throughput data infrastructure. For visa purposes, you'll need at least a bachelor's degree in computer science or a closely related field, since USCIS requires a direct tie between your degree and the specialty occupation.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take once Anthropic extends an offer?
After an offer, Anthropic's immigration team works with outside counsel to prepare your petition. DOL Labor Condition Application certification runs about seven business days. H-1B regular processing at USCIS takes two to four months; premium processing cuts that to 15 business days. E-3 consular interviews in Australia currently schedule within a few weeks at Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth, making the E-3 path faster for Australian applicants.
