Autonomous Systems Security Engineer

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: Claude is trained and served on hardware in data centers Anthropic operates and in sites partners build and run for us. DCSE secures that footprint: the sites, the hardware moving through them, and the people and vendors who touch it. You'll be the engineer who owns autonomous systems across that footprint as one security domain, from both sides: drones, ground robots and automated vehicles for patrol, inspection and moving hardware, including the security of that automation inside secure areas, and the detection systems that tell us what is flying over or operating near a site uninvited.

Key responsibilities: Own the drones, ground robots and other autonomous platforms for perimeter patrol, incident response and infrastructure inspection; build the integrations that carry detections, tracks, telemetry and fleet health into the team's security monitoring platform; engineer the sensing that tells us what is flying over or operating near a site; engineer the controls on automated vehicles, robots and similar machines; establish what we may sense, fly, drive, record and retain at each site; define and test heartbeats, loss-of-coverage and lost-link alarms; write the requirements, evaluate against live flights and runs, and hold vendors to what they ship.

Minimum qualifications: Have engineered autonomous or sensing systems in the field; have integrated systems you did not build; read and review code, design the data systems behind security tooling; have done this work hands-on for data centers; have designed inside a regulatory or safety constraint; own a domain end to end.

Preferred qualifications: Remote pilot certification; experience with counter-drone detection; experience running a robot, drone or automated-vehicle fleet; experience securing embedded, operational technology or robotic systems; experience with physical security operations.
