Role Overview

The Platform Hardware Security position at Anthropic is an onsite hybrid role located in San Francisco, New York City, or Seattle, focusing on designing security architectures for bare-metal infrastructure. This position suits an experienced systems security professional eager to ensure the integrity of massive computing fleets supporting advanced AI systems.

Key Responsibilities

Design and implement secure boot chains spanning from firmware through OS initialization across diverse hardware components such as CPUs, BMCs, network switches, and embedded microcontrollers.
Architect cryptographic attestation systems to prove system state integrity from the hardware root of trust up to the application layer.
Build measured boot implementations, conduct runtime integrity monitoring, and prototype security mechanisms prior to production deployment.
Create comprehensive reference architectures, security requirements, and threat models for bare-metal deployments.
Integrate vital security controls alongside infrastructure teams without hindering the high-performance demands of AI training workloads.
Conduct firmware vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and build continuous security monitoring pipelines.
Collaborate closely with software and hardware vendors to ensure all security capabilities align with internal organizational requirements.

Requirements

Bring at least 8 years of overall experience in systems security, with a strong focus on firmware, bootloaders, and OS-level security.
Demonstrate hands-on experience utilizing secure boot, measured boot, and attestation technologies including TPM, Intel TXT, AMD SEV, and ARM TrustZone.
Possess a solid understanding of cryptographic protocols and hardware security modules.
Show proficiency in low-level programming languages such as C, Rust, and Assembly, alongside UEFI/BIOS or embedded firmware security knowledge.
Hold a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field of study, or possess an equivalent combination of education, training, and professional experience.
Comply with the location-based hybrid policy, requiring time spent working from one of the designated offices.

Nice to Have

Direct experience working with confidential computing technologies and hardware-based Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs).
Familiarity with the SLSA framework and broader software supply chain security standards.
Background in securing large-scale cloud infrastructure or high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
Contributions made to open-source security projects like coreboot or CHIPSEC.
Prior experience involving formal verification, security proof techniques, or silicon root of trust implementations.
