The read

Anthropic is executing a substantial expansion, adding 547 people in 90 days — net +493 after 54 departures — with engineering absorbing the majority of growth (now 1,138 in the function). The company is pulling heavily from Meta (45 hires) and Google (43), with additional draws from Stripe, AWS, and Salesforce, while losing a Member of Technical Staff in Developer Experience to OpenAI. New executive leadership includes a Chief Global Affairs Officer from the Hewlett Foundation and a Head of Strategic GTM Initiatives, signaling both policy ambitions and go-to-market infrastructure build as the company scales beyond pure R&D.
