About the role

We're looking for a self-motivated Site Reliability Engineer to join our team in Asia/Oceania. This remote-only role will let you work independently to maintain and scale Kubernetes clusters powering machine learning workloads.​You'll have a high degree of autonomy optimizing Kubernetes infrastructure for large-scale ML jobs.

Representative projects include:

  • Own Kubernetes clusters with thousands of nodes across multiple regions/clouds
  • Tune autoscaling and resource allocation for ML jobs with minimal oversight
  • Build highly fault-tolerant infrastructure to handle infrastructure failures
  • Monitor clusters and set up alerts/on-call playbooks independently
  • Migrate and manage cloud deployments using Terraform and Kubernetes

Ideal candidates have:

  • Expertise with Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure
  • A strong DevOps/SRE mindset: you're a self-starter who enjoys solving complex technical problems
  • Excellent communication skills to work with global colleagues, despite lack of face-to-face interaction
  • An interest in the societal impacts of ML and a track record of building robust, reliable systems

While not required, experience with the following would be a bonus:

  • Cloud infrastructure on GCP, AWS or similarly scoped major Asian clouds (Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, etc.)
  • Terraform/Infrastructure as Code
  • Monitoring/alerting tools like Prometheus/Grafana
  • Python and Linux sysadmin skills
This is a remote-only role, open to candidates located in Asia/Oceania timezones.​As the sole SRE for Asia, this role requires a high degree of independence and autonomy, as well as willingness to work non-standard hours when required to handle issues.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification.

How we're differentWe believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills. 
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Mulitm
