IT Systems Engineer

About the Role

The Enterprise SaaS team owns the collaboration and productivity platforms every person at Anthropic touches every day — Google Workspace, Slack, and the surrounding ecosystem of enterprise tools. We’re responsible for tenant-wide architecture, API-level integration, and the governance that keeps these platforms secure and scalable as the company doubles and doubles again.

You’ll make the architecture decisions that shape how thousands of people work: data governance for collaboration content, the application side of SSO and SCIM provisioning, and the integrations that fill gaps the vendors left open.

You’ll write Python against SaaS APIs where the admin console stops, and you’ll be the final escalation tier when the vendor docs stop helping. The scope is the full collaboration stack — cloud infrastructure and endpoints live with separate teams, so this role goes deep rather than wide.

If you’ve hit the ceiling of what the admin console can do and started solving problems in code, this is that job. You’ll partner closely with IT Operations, Security, and the IAM team on the identity and access layer everything else depends on.

This role is high-autonomy: you’ll define tenant architecture, write the integrations, and represent the SaaS platform across IT. Your work will directly shape how we scale to AI Safety Level 4 and beyond.
