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
Data Center Security Engineering (DCSE) secures Anthropic's data center footprint; this role covers how the sites are designed and built to be secure. Much of that footprint is designed and built with partners, so a site's security is decided early: in what Anthropic hands the people who build it, and in how rigorously the delivered systems are tested against it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Have designed or specified physical security systems (perimeter barriers, intrusion detection, video, security lighting) for campus-scale sites: multiple buildings, a secured perimeter, many detection zones
- Read and produce construction documents (site plans, civil and electrical drawings, device schedules, submittals) using standard design and markup tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, or Bluebeam, and find what is missing as readily as what is wrong
- Write performance requirements that are testable: each states what must be true, how it will be verified, and what evidence shows it
- Have run commissioning and acceptance tests against performance criteria and rejected work that did not meet them
- Derive requirements from a threat basis rather than a product catalog: you can say which adversary a control stops and where the next weakest point is
- Have owned an engineering domain where you set the approach, chose what applied to each site, worked directly with vendors, and answered for the result

This is a foundational role. You'll own Anthropic's physical security reference design package (typical details, reference drawings, schedules, and test procedures) in the form partners build from, and keep it current against each site's threat basis and the sites actually being built. You'll set the technical position for a site and decide what applies where; where a requirement can't be met as written, you'll engineer the compensating control and document the deviation. You'll work with the rest of DCSE,...
