Anthropic
About Anthropic
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. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.
About the Role We’re seeking a Systems Integrity Security Engineer to design and implement security architectures for bare‑metal infrastructure. You’ll work with teams across Anthropic to build firmware, bootloaders, operating systems, and attestation systems to ensure the integrity of our infrastructure from the ground up.
This role requires expertise in low‑level systems security and the ability to architect solutions that balance security requirements with the performance demands of training AI models.
What you’ll do:
Design and implement secure boot chains from firmware through OS initialization for diverse hardware platforms (CPUs, BMCs, peripherals, embedded microcontrollers)
Architect attestation systems that provide cryptographic proof of system state from hardware root of trust through application layer
Define trust boundaries and security policies for multi-party authorization systems
Develop measured boot implementations and runtime integrity monitoring
Create reference architectures and security requirements for bare‑metal deployments
Integrate security controls with infrastructure teams without impacting training performance
Prototype and validate security mechanisms before production deployment
Conduct firmware vulnerability assessments and penetration testing
Build firmware analysis pipelines for continuous security monitoring
Document security architectures and maintain threat models
Collaborate with hardware vendors to ensure security capabilities meet our requirements
Who you are:
8+ years of experience in systems security, with at least 5 years focused on firmware and hardware security
Hands‑on experience with secure boot, measured boot, and attestation technologies (TPM, Intel TXT, AMD SEV, ARM TrustZone)
Strong understanding of cryptographic protocols and hardware security modules
Experience with UEFI/BIOS security, bootloader hardening, and chain of trust implementation
Proficiency in low‑level programming (C, Rust, Assembly) and systems programming
Knowledge of firmware vulnerability assessment and threat modeling
Track record of designing security architectures for complex, distributed systems
Experience with supply chain security and firmware vulnerability analysis
Ability to work effectively across hardware and software boundaries
Knowledge of NIST firmware security guidelines and hardware security frameworks
Strong candidates may also have:
Experience with confidential computing technologies and hardware‑based TEEs
Knowledge of SLSA framework and software supply chain security standards
Experience securing large‑scale HPC or cloud infrastructure
Contributions to open‑source security projects (coreboot, CHIPSEC, etc.)
Background in formal verification or security proof techniques
Experience with silicon root of trust implementations
Experience working with building foundational technical designs, operational leadership, and vendor collaboration
Previous work with AI/ML infrastructure security
Deadline to apply:
None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
The expected base compensation for this position is below. Our total compensation package for full‑time employees includes equity, benefits, and may include incentive compensation.
$300,000 – $405,000 USD
Logistics Education requirements:
We require at least a Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
Location-based hybrid policy:
Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
Visa sponsorship:
We do sponsor visas. We will make every reasonable effort to sponsor a visa if we make an offer.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification.
Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed.
How we’re different We believe that the highest‑impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large‑scale research efforts. We value impact—advancing our long‑term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI—rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles.
Come work with us! Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
Voluntary Self‑Identification
For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the self‑identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.
As set forth in Anthropic’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.
