Engineering Manager, Vertical AI Products (multiple Roles)

Anthropic Anthropic · AI Frontier · New York, NY · Engineering & Design - Product

Engineering Manager for Vertical AI Products at Anthropic, focusing on building and shipping AI products for specific industries like financial services, life sciences, and healthcare. The role involves leading engineering teams, defining products, working with enterprise customers, and collaborating with research to improve AI models. The teams are often building products from scratch (0->1) or scaling existing ones.

What you'd actually do

  1. Lead and develop a team of engineers building new AI products for enterprise customers in your vertical
  2. Work closely with research to make the models better in your domain—shaping evals, surfacing failure modes, and feeding customer learnings back into model development
  3. Own engineering execution end-to-end: planning, prioritization, delivery quality, team health, and incident response
  4. Partner with sales and customer success on enterprise deals—understanding requirements, joining key conversations, and turning what you learn into engineering priorities
  5. Shape the roadmap with product and design, not just execute against it
