Staff+ Software Engineer, Platform Intelligence

Platform Intelligence turns each new Claude model's abilities into API features that developers can build on. Our goal is to make the full intelligence of each model available through the API. We own the capabilities that shape what Claude can do for developers: tool use, built-in tools such as web search and code execution, thinking controls, structured outputs, and the memory, files, and skills APIs.

We also run the API side of every Claude model launch, including its safety features and controls. That means getting the API ready for each new model, coordinating with research, safeguards, product, and cloud partners, and making sure the model, its features, the SDKs, and the docs all ship together on launch day.

The work sits where research meets product. We work with new models before they are public. When a model gains a new ability, we work out what it should look like as an API, build it, and ship it to developers on our own platform and on cloud platforms. Those decisions shape how developers first use each model. We also own API versioning and the evals that tell us a capability works in production.

You'll lead the design, build, and operation of API capabilities used by developers around the world. You'll work with research to understand what a new model can do and turn that into an interface that is simple, durable, and hard to misuse.

You'll lead the API side of new model launches. You'll plan the work, track readiness across teams, resolve the issues that come up late, and see the launch through on the day. Between launches, you'll make the next one faster and safer.

You'll set technical direction for work that spans several teams, write clear design proposals, review API designs from other teams, and mentor engineers on the team.
