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

Anthropic is building data center campuses at a pace where several are under construction at once, each moving through design, construction, commissioning, and turnover to an operating partner. Security scope on those projects (the physical protections, the systems that enforce them, and the operational readiness of the company that will run the site) has to be delivered as deliberately as the buildings themselves.

What they're looking for

  • Have run milestone- or commissioning-acceptance processes: FAT/SAT, punch lists, turnover documentation, formal sign-off
  • Have held an operator, landlord, or vendor accountable to contractual security obligations, with evidence rather than assurances
  • Are comfortable being the person who says "not ready", and can do it in a way that produces a plan rather than a standoff
  • Can absorb the operational noise of multiple concurrent construction sites and still drive each one toward its handover date
  • Can author requirements, standards, and process documents that get adopted, and are willing to rewrite your own when they fail in the field
  • Work through influence with general contractors, integrators, operators, and internal partners, you shape decisions rather than block them

Security scope on those projects (the physical protections, the systems that enforce them, and the operational readiness of the company that will run the site) has to be delivered as deliberately as the buildings themselves.

As Lead for Data Center Security Delivery, you will own security through that entire arc for every campus under construction: from groundbreaking, through construction-phase security, through commissioning and milestone acceptance, to a clean handover into full operation. You are the single point of accountability for "the site's security is actually ready", and you will verify that the operating partner has its people, processes, systems, and...
