About the Job

Requirements

  • Experience with capacity, demand, or supply planning for large-scale technical infrastructure, such as cloud, high-performance computing, hyperscale, or a large internal platform, and ability to distinguish a forecast, a plan, and an allocation.
  • Ability to build the planning model directly using SQL against a warehouse, Python/pandas, or a forecasting/optimization stack.
  • Understanding of data-center resource classes, including why storage and egress forecast differently from GPUs and why a contract's headline chip count is rarely the binding constraint.
  • Preference for simple, inspectable models and ability to instrument forecast error.

Responsibilities

  • Build and own the medium-range multi-resource demand forecast for accelerators by chip/interconnect class, CPU by shape, storage by tier and access pattern, egress by path, and managed services by SKU, driven by model roadmap, reinforcement-learning/inference growth, evaluation volume, and retention policy rather than trend lines.
  • Run the plan-versus-reality loop by comparing planned allocations against observed fleet occupancy weekly, surfacing unrecorded trades and stale allocations, and driving variance toward zero with planning-tools and data teams.
  • Qualify each incoming capacity tranche against the forecast before signature, checking shape, region, quarter, and supporting-resource envelope for storage, egress, and CPU.
  • Partner with Finance and cost-efficiency teams to turn the forecast into core drivers covering the large majority (at least 80%) of non-accelerator spend and target savings work where waste will appear next.

Desired Qualifications

  • Direct experience with cloud or neocloud providers on reserved-capacity onboarding, private offers, or capacity commitments.
  • Demand planning or forecasting experience for accelerator fleets, including translating research or product roadmaps into resource requirements.
  • Data-center or colocation delivery experience, including power and space planning, network turn-up, site acceptance criteria, and vendor management.
  • Experience with accelerator health and burn-in, collective-communications sanity testing, or fleet-health service-level objectives, and ability to define health rigorously.
  • Experience building lifecycle or state-machine services, or systems of record for infrastructure assets.
  • Experience onboarding a new hardware generation into an existing scheduler and observability stack.

About the Company

Anthropic

Builds Claude AI models with a focus on safety

Anthropic builds the Claude family of AI models and sells them to businesses, software developers, and consumers, with research on making AI safe and understandable at the center of its work. In 2024 it introduced the Model Context Protocol, an open standard for connecting AI assistants to outside apps and data that OpenAI and Google adopted the next year. People use the Claude app to write and analyze files, programmers hand coding tasks to Claude Code, and companies build Claude into their own products through its API. Anthropic earns money from subscriptions, business plans, and usage-based API fees. Siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei founded Anthropic in 2021 with other former OpenAI employees, and it is based in San Francisco.
