## Description

Anthropic''s API is the foundation that customers, developers, and our own products build on, and it is scaling fast. We''re hiring a Technical Program Manager to drive the scaling and core efficiency programs for the API stack, working at the intersection of the API and the infrastructure it runs on (compute, databases, networking, and inference).

Today this work spans many teams and many simultaneous programs, with no single person focused on cohesion across them. You''ll be the center: the person who connects isolated workstreams into one coherent roadmap, makes cross-org dependencies visible before they become blockers, and creates clarity on who owns which decisions. Success looks like an API stack that scales efficiently and predictably, with programs that land because someone is accountable for the whole picture.

Responsibilities

 * Drive scaling and core efficiency programs for the API stack from architectural direction through sequenced, deliverable execution
 * Run multiple large programs simultaneously across infrastructure, networking, and the API layer
 * Act as the connective tissue between API, infrastructure, database, networking, and inference teams, owning cross-org dependencies end to end
 * Establish decision-making clarity: who owns what, where trade-offs get made, and how isolated streams roll up into one program view
 * Surface risks, progress, and trade-offs to engineering leadership with the right altitude and cadence
