About Anthropic

Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that's working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. Backed by Accel, Bessemer and General Catalyst.

About the role

The Endpoint team (Client Platform Engineering) treats Anthropic's device fleet as a platform we build and run. We run our own MDM as a production service and manage every piece of device configuration as code. Policies, configuration profiles, queries, remediation scripts, and software all ship through pull requests, CI, a staging environment, and a canary group before they reach the fleet. The fleet is mostly macOS, plus a small number of Linux machines and a growing mobile footprint. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Own endpoint configuration as code: author, review, test, and progressively roll out MDM policies, configuration profiles, and remediation scripts across macOS and mobile, with canary stages and rollback built in
  • Operate the MDM platform itself as a production service, including infrastructure as code, observability, upgrades, and incident response
  • Build patch management automation with rapid enforcement timelines while maintaining good user experience
  • Design zero touch provisioning that turns a sealed box into a productive machine on day one
  • Support a small number of Linux machines alongside the Mac fleet
  • Turn fleet telemetry into policy, dashboards, and early drift warnings, and use Claude to automate manual ops work

You'll own that platform end to end: the infrastructure underneath the MDM, the configuration on top of it, the patching and software pipelines that keep thousands of devices patched and secure, and the telemetry that tells us what is actually true on every device. You'll also build automation that cuts down on manual operational work. You'll work with Security teams on hardening,...
