Engineering Manager, Product Monetization (billing Platform)

Anthropic Anthropic · AI Frontier · San Francisco, CA · Engineering & Design - Product

Engineering Manager for Anthropic's Product Monetization (Billing Platform) team, focusing on building the platform that enables product teams to monetize features and convert users into paying customers. This role involves leading a team, defining platform reliability, enabling pricing experiments, and expanding payment methods globally.

What you'd actually do

  1. Lead and grow a team of engineers building the revenue-enablement platform — hiring, coaching, and setting a high technical bar.
  2. Build the on-rails: clean billing API abstractions and integration contracts so product teams can onboard and launch paid SKUs seamlessly, without billing logic leaking into their stack.
  3. Define and own the platform's reliability bar — tiered SLOs and SLAs organized by customer impact: error budgets on the "can the customer do the thing" flows, quality targets on everything else.
  4. Build the platform constructs that let the business run pricing experiments and iterate on monetization models with real data.
  5. Partner closely with Growth — own the promotional, trial, and self-serve billing platform they build campaigns on top of. Your team owns the platform; Growth owns the campaigns.
