## Description

## Job Description

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.

### About the Role

You'll be the engineer for one or more security domains end to end: design the controls, build the systems that enforce and verify them, and set the technical standard the rest of the team and our partners build to.

### Key Responsibilities

- Own one or more security domains end to end: physical security at partner-operated and Anthropic-operated sites, hardware supply chain and chain of custody, media protection and sanitization, personnel security and site access, third-party and vendor security assessment, and maintenance and contingency controls

- Build internal tools, automation, and agents: evidence collection, access reviews, asset and custody tracking, partner intake

- Perform security reviews for new sites, leases, and vendors: find gaps in design, contracts, and procedures, write security terms and exhibits, and verify fixes

- Write requirements and procedures as code: kept in a version-controlled repository

- Assess sites and suppliers against requirements: document deviations and engineer compensating controls

- Ensure continuous compliance evidence: tie controls to compliance frameworks, with current evidence

- Respond to security events at sites: investigate, write up incidents, and fix controls

### Minimum Qualifications

- Engineered a security control domain end to end: designed controls, built or integrated enforcing systems, and verified they work

- Read and reviewed code, designed data systems behind security tooling, and built automation using Git and code review

- Performed security work hands-on for data centers, critical infrastructure, or large hardware fleets

- Applied a control framework such as NIST SP 800-53, ISO 27001, or SOC 2 to real systems and produced evidence

- Wrote requirements a third party can build to and an assessor can test

### Preferred Qualifications

- Experience across multiple domains

- Experience at sites without full control: cloud, colocation, or GPU cloud operators

- Experience with federal assessment regimes based on NIST SP 800-53

- Built governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) or evidence automation

- Ran incident response at physical sites

- Worked in live data halls and on active construction sites

- Experience redlining contract security language with legal and procurement counterparts

- Built AI agents or automation that replaced recurring manual security work

### Logistics

- Annual Salary: $320,000-$405,000 USD
