Engineering Manager, Claude Code
The Rundown AI, Inc., San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
About the role:
Making sure you fit the guidelines as an applicant for this role is essential, please read the below carefully. At Anthropic, we believe new AI capabilities are best achieved through secure foundations, not in spite of them. As capabilities grow more advanced, it is critical that progress moves forward safely and for the benefit of all society. It is the reason why security sits at the center of our work, and not as an afterthought.
We're specifically looking for an Engineering Manager to help us scale the Claude Code team. The ideal candidate loves to use Claude Code, has management experience, and still codes every day. This role requires someone who combines deep and broad technical know-how with leadership experience.
Responsibilities:
Design, build, and maintain core features across Claude Code's full stack. Spend the majority of effort writing and reviewing code
Lead and develop the Seattle engineering team, including hiring, performance management, career development, and fostering team culture
Partner with the SF engineering manager to facilitate cross-team alignment, coordinate execution across distributed engineering efforts, and ensure clear communication of technical decisions and priorities
Prioritize and develop capabilities that address common enterprise customer needs across multiple use cases, ensuring feature investments deliver broad value. Partner with customers to understand their needs
Work closely with researchers, product managers, and designers to translate user needs and research insights into robust technical solutions
Stay deeply connected to the developer experience by actively using Claude Code, engaging with both internal and external users, and maintaining expertise in modern development environments, tools, and workflows
Ensure high code quality, robust testing, and scalable architecture across all team deliverables while balancing rapid iteration with long-term maintainability and security requirements. Tend to the team's developer experience by maintaining clean development workflows, simple onboarding, and efficient paths from development to production
You may be a good fit if you:
Have 5+ years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years in engineering management or technical leadership roles
Excel at both writing production code and leading engineering teams, with experience shipping complex features from concept to deployment
Bring strong technical skills across modern web technologies, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems
Have experience working with enterprise customers and translating their needs into scalable product features
Thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and can balance multiple priorities while maintaining team focus
Are passionate about developer tools and have deep familiarity with IDEs, development workflows, and what makes engineers productive
Value both technical excellence and pragmatic delivery, knowing when to build for the long term vs. ship quickly
Strong candidates may also have experience with:
Project management for extremely fast-moving projects
Mentoring junior team members
Leading cross-functional initiatives with demonstrated influence across organizational boundaries
Public speaking or presenting technical content
Client-facing communication
Building widely-used tools for software development, especially CLIs
Implementing continuous improvement processes
Performance optimization and troubleshooting
Evaluating and testing new technologies and coding products
Working effectively within expanding organizational frameworks
This is an opportunity to shape the future of AI-driven development tools while working alongside top engineers and researchers in the field.
