Finance Systems Engineer, Revenue at Anthropic — task breakdown

About Anthropic Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems. About the role: Anthropic’s Finance Systems team builds and owns the infrastructure that powers our quote-to-cash lifecycle—from pricing and billing through revenue recognition and financial close. As our revenue model grows in complexity, the team is moving beyond configuring off-the-shelf platforms and into building homegrown, production-grade financial applications that no vendor has built for us yet. We are seeking a Finance Systems Engineer to join our Finance Systems team in San Francisco. In this hands-on engineering role, you will both configure and extend the third-party platforms that run our financial operations including Zuora, Stripe, and Tesorio and design, build, and own full-stack applications and integrations that sit on top of them. You will write production Python, Node.js, and React code, author Workato recipes and API integrations across our SaaS stack, administer and tune the systems themselves, and ship working software—not manage vendors or write requirements documents. You will work at the intersection of software engineering and finance, building and configuring the tools that allow our Accounting, Revenue Operations, and Order Management teams to operate efficiently, accurately, and in compliance with SOX and ASC 606 requirements. The first thing you will inherit is our homegrown ledger application and the integrations that connect it to Workday, NetSuite, Zuora, Stripe, Tesorio, and Salesforce. From there, you will help us build the next generation of Finance tooling: self-serve workflows, automated reconciliation, and the operational surfaces that let Finance move at the speed the business demands. If you thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy building scalable financial infrastructure from the ground up, come join us in our mission to build safe, transformative AI. Responsibilities: Own the architecture, development, and maintenance of Anthropic's internal finance applications, and own the configuration and ongoing administration of third-party platforms such as Zuora, Workday, and Tesorio Build and maintain integrations across the Finance systems stack: Zuora, Stripe, Workday, NetSuite, Salesforce, Tesorio, BigQuery and Billing applications Design system integrations that are auditable, observable, and recoverable—with the rigor that SOX compliance demands Identify manual, error-prone workflows in the month-end close and automate them with tested, production-grade solutions Partner with Accounting, Revenue Operations, and Order Management teams to translate business requirements into scalable technical designs—and then build them yourself Develop and maintain technical documentation, data flow diagrams, and runbooks so the team can operate systems without engineering dependency Contribute to continuous delivery infrastructure so Finance systems can ship reliably and frequently Instrument the Finance systems stack with observability tooling so the team knows when a pipeline breaks before the accountants do Become the go-to domain expert for one or more areas of the revenue systems stack within your first six months You may be a good fit if you: Have 7+ years of engineering experience and are comfortable owning full-stack builds from architecture through production deployment Are proficient in Python
