Engineering Manager, Agent Prompts & Evals

About the Role

Anthropic is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the Agent Prompts & Evals team. This team owns the infrastructure that lets Anthropic ship model and prompt changes with confidence — the eval frameworks, system prompt pipelines, and regression-detection systems that every model launch depends on.

When a new Claude model is ready to ship, this team is the one answering “is it actually better in our products?” When a product team wants to change how Claude behaves, this team owns the tooling that tells them whether they broke something. It’s a platform team whose platform is model behavior itself.

The team sits deliberately at the seam between product engineering and research. You’ll partner closely with other evals groups across the company on shared infrastructure and methodology, with product teams who are shipping features on top of Claude, and with the TPMs and research PMs driving model launches. The pace is set by the model release cadence, and the team operates as both a platform owner and a hands-on partner during launch periods.

You don’t need a research background, but you do need to want to learn how to measure things like “is Claude being too sycophantic” or “did web search get worse.” The best version of this role is someone who’s built strong platform or devtools teams before and is excited to apply that skillset to a domain where the thing you’re measuring is a language model.

Responsibilities

• Lead and grow a team of prompt engineers and platform software engineers

• Own the product-side eval platform: the frameworks, dashboards, bulk runners, and CI integrations that product teams use to measure Claude’s behavior and catch regressions before they ship

• Own system prompt infrastructure: versioning, deployment, rollback, and review tooling for the prompts that run in production across claude.ai, the API, and agentic surfaces

• Be a steady hand through model launches — these are t
