Anthropic, a pioneering AI research company focused on creating reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems, is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead their billing systems infrastructure. This role sits at the crucial intersection of core product development, financial systems, and customer experience within the Accounts Platform team.

The position offers an exceptional opportunity to architect and implement sophisticated billing systems that will scale with Anthropic's growing operations. The ideal candidate will bring 7+ years of software engineering experience, with deep expertise in SaaS billing systems and at least 3 years of focused experience in this domain. You'll be responsible for designing and maintaining robust integrations with payment processors, implementing usage-based billing systems, and ensuring compliance with global financial regulations.

The company values empirical science approaches and maintains high standards for communication and collaboration. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to combine technical expertise in billing systems with the chance to contribute to cutting-edge AI development in a mission-driven organization.

The role demands expertise in SQL, database design for financial systems, and experience with modern billing platforms. You'll be expected to handle complex pricing models, subscription management, and build resilient systems with strict consistency requirements. Beyond technical skills, your ability to lead technical discussions and collaborate with stakeholders will be crucial for success in this position.
