The role
As an AV Engineer focused on Platform & Automation, you'll build and own the software layer of Anthropic's collaboration systems, including device management platforms, DSP and control systems, conferencing administration, ticketing, and paging. Your job is to turn that surface into reliable, team-owned tooling, and to bring software engineering discipline to how we build and maintain it.
What you'll do
- Design, build, and ship internal tools and integrations that monitor, test, and manage AV and collaboration systems across every office
- Develop fleet health monitoring and automated room testing that catch failures before users report them and open actionable tickets automatically
- Build integrations across device and platform APIs — Q-SYS (including plugins and Lua control scripts), Logitech Sync, Google Meet hardware, digital signage; and IT systems such as Jira, Slack, PagerDuty, and Google Workspace
- Automate repetitive operational work: provisioning, configuration baselines, drift detection, certificate renewal, and asset data — with code others can read, test, and maintain
- Own administration and lifecycle of the software platforms behind the AV estate, including firmware and software release management with staged rollouts and rollback plans
- Operate internal tools as production services, with monitoring, alerting, service metrics, and runbooks, on team-owned repositories and service identities so nothing depends on one person
What it takes
- 10+ years of experience across AV, collaboration, or IT systems engineering, including 4+ years writing, shipping, and maintaining production code that other people depend on
- Fluency in at least one general-purpose language: Python, Lua, Go, TypeScript, or similar — and comfortable with shell scripting
- Practice engineering fundamentals by default: Git-based workflows, code review, automated testing, CI/CD, logging, and observability
- Understand how AV and collaboration systems work: DSP and control, conferencing platforms, room devices, signal flow, AV-over-IP — well enough to build reliable tools on top of them
- Have built integrations against REST APIs, webhooks, and vendor SDKs, and know how to handle auth, rate limits, pagination, retries, and partial failure
- Have owned a tool or service in production over time, not just written it, including fixing it when it broke and handing it off cleanly
What you'll bring
How we treat you
Competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues
