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.

As an AV Engineer focused on Platform & Automation, you’ll build and own the software layer of Anthropic’s collaboration systems – the tools, integrations, and engineering practices that let a small AV team support a fast-growing global office portfolio. Our rooms, event spaces, and broadcast systems are increasingly managed through APIs and code: device management platforms, DSP and control systems, conferencing administration, ticketing, and paging. Your job is to turn that surface into reliable, team-owned tooling, and to bring software engineering discipline to how we build and maintain it. You can expect a lot of your time writing, shipping, and operating code – fleet health monitoring, automated room testing and ticketing, integrations between our AV platforms and IT systems, and the internal tools that AV Engineering, AV Operations, and Events rely on every day. You’ll also help own the administration of the software platforms we already run, and set the standards for how the team version-controls, reviews, tests, releases, and maintains everything from DSP designs to firmware to internal services.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and ship internal tools and integrations that monitor, test, and manage AV and collaboration systems across every office
• Develop fleet health monitoring and automated room testing that catch failures before users report them and open actionable tickets automatically
• Build integrations across device and platform APIs – Q-SYS (including plugins and Lua control scripts), Logitech Sync, Google Meet hardware, digital signage; and IT systems such as Jira, Slack, PagerDuty, and Google Workspace
• Automate repetitive operational work: provisioning, configuration baselines, drift detection, certificate renewal, and more
• Own administration and lifecycle of the software platforms behind the AV estate, including firmware updates
• Operate internal tools as production services, with monitoring, alerting, service metrics, and runbooks
• Establish the team’s engineering practices: source control, code review, testing, CI/CD, and release management
• Enable AV Engineers, Operations Specialists, and Production staff to contribute safely through templates and guardrails
• Partner with Security, IT Engineering, and Network on least-privilege API access, secrets management, and secure integrations
• Gather requirements from AV Operations, Events, and AV Engineering, and prioritize the tooling roadmap

You May Be a Good Fit If You:

• Have 10+ years of experience across AV, collaboration, or IT systems engineering, including 4+ years of software engineering
• Are fluent in at least one general-purpose language: Python, Lua, Go, TypeScript, or similar
• Practice engineering fundamentals by default: Git-based workflows, code review, automated testing, and CI/CD
• Understand how AV and collaboration systems work: DSP and control, conferencing platforms, room devices, and AV-over-IP
• Have built integrations against REST APIs, webhooks, and vendor SDKs, and know how to handle auth, rate limits, and retries
• Have owned a tool or service in production over time, not just written it, including fixing it when it breaks
• Have defined engineering practices for a team, especially one where most contributors aren’t developers
• Turn operational pain into well-scoped tooling, and can say no to work that shouldn’t be built
• Thrive in a fast-moving environment where standards are being written rather than inherited

Strong Candidates May Also Have Experience With:

• Q-SYS Lua scripting and plugin development
• Logitech Sync and CollabOS, and Google Meet hardware administration through the Google Admin console
• Google Workspace APIs, GCP (Cloud Run, Cloud Scheduler, Pub/Sub, Secret Manager), and Terraform
• Jira, Slack, and PagerDuty APIs and automation
• Crestron, Extron, or other control system programming
• Dante, AES67, NDI, and network fundamentals for AV-over-IP, including multicast, VLANs, and QoS
• Building with LLMs – agentic automation, LLM-assisted internal tools, or MCP integrations
• Monitoring and alerting stacks such as Prometheus and Grafana, and containerized deployment
• Q-SYS Level 2, CTS, or equivalent demonstrated capability

Role Specific Location Policy:

• This role will be based in our San Francisco or New York City office
• This role is expected to be in office 50% of the time
• Up to 4 weeks of domestic and international travel annually for platform rollouts and new-office readiness
• Business-hours escalation coverage for the tools and platforms this role owns

Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be received on a rolling basis. The annual compensation range for this role is $285,000 – $325,000 USD. Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience. Anthropic sponsors visas, though successfully sponsoring visas is not possible for every role and every candidate.
