Overview
Anthropic is hiring a Software Engineer specializing in build infrastructure to optimize low-level systems. You'll work with C/C++ and various build systems like Nix and CMake. This role requires deep technical knowledge of compilation processes and system-level debugging.
Job Description
Who you are
You are a systems-level engineer with a specialization in build infrastructure and low-level systems optimization. Your expertise lies in maintaining and improving non-trivial C/C++ builds, and you possess a deep technical knowledge of compilation processes and hardware-software interfaces. You are skilled in diagnosing and resolving linking issues, symbol resolution problems, and toolchain/ABI incompatibilities.
Your experience includes expert-level proficiency with build and packaging systems such as Nix, pip, CMake, Bazel, and Make. Familiarity with Nix is a significant advantage. You have strong C/C++ debugging skills, particularly in embedded systems or when dealing with cross-compiling and linking. You are comfortable with system calls, POSIX APIs, and kernel interfaces, and you have experience with toolchain debugging tools like readelf, bloaty, c++filt, and nm.
What you'll do
In this role, you will manage complex builds and interact in non-trivial ways with continuous integration systems. You will be responsible for building systems and toolchains, ensuring that the compilation processes are efficient and reliable. Your work will involve diagnosing and resolving various technical issues that arise during the build process, contributing to the overall stability and performance of the systems.
You will collaborate with a team of engineers and researchers to optimize low-level systems and improve the build infrastructure. Your contributions will directly impact the efficiency of the development process and the reliability of the AI systems being built at Anthropic. You will also have the opportunity to mentor junior engineers and share your expertise in build systems and low-level programming.
