Responsibilities

  • Design and build scalable telemetry ingestion and storage pipelines for metrics, logs, traces, and error data across multi-cluster infrastructure.
  • Build low-overhead observability solutions, instrumentation libraries, SDKs, and eBPF-based auto-instrumentation.
  • Own and evolve core observability platforms through migrations and architectural improvements that improve reliability, reduce cost, and scale with growth.
  • Develop cross-signal correlation, unified query interfaces, and AI-assisted diagnostic tooling to reduce detection and resolution times.
  • Turn continuous profiling and utilization telemetry into optimization insights across CPU, memory, and accelerator fleets.
  • Partner with Research, Inference, Product, and Infrastructure teams to meet their operational visibility needs.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience building and operating large-scale observability or monitoring infrastructure.
  • Deep end-to-end experience with observability signals, from instrumentation through ingestion, querying, and analysis.
  • Understanding of high-throughput telemetry pipelines and operational-data collection, storage, and querying tradeoffs at scale.
  • Ability to investigate below the application layer, including the kernel, network stack, and hardware.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with an ability to work independently through ambiguous, high-impact infrastructure challenges.
  • Preferred: 10+ years of relevant industry experience, production eBPF observability, fleet-scale continuous profiling, kernel and syscall debugging, accelerator workload profiling, high-cardinality metrics or large-scale telemetry storage, OpenTelemetry collector pipelines, tail-based sampling, and AI/LLM applications for operational workflows.

Benefits

  • Annual compensation is listed in GBP.
  • Hybrid policy currently requires staff to work from an office at least 25% of the time, with some roles requiring more office time.
  • Visa sponsorship is available, with immigration-lawyer support, subject to role and candidate eligibility.
  • Benefits include competitive benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and office collaboration space.
  • Anthropic is a public benefit corporation and supports a collaborative, research-focused work environment.
