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
- The Endpoint team (Client Platform Engineering) manages the devices Anthropic’s people work on and the infrastructure underneath them.
- This role exists to make ChromeOS a supported platform with a dedicated owner who manages ChromeOS end to end.
- You will own device standards, enrollment, configuration, lockdown, monitoring, and retirement while bringing Android in as a second platform.
Responsibilities
- Own ChromeOS as a platform at Anthropic: device standards, Google Admin console and Chrome Enterprise setup, organizational unit design, and policy.
- Manage ChromeOS policy as code through the Chrome Policy API, GAM, and Terraform in the team's config-as-code pipeline.
- Build zero touch enrollment through resellers so a Chromebook arrives enrolled and works the first time.
- Work with IT Operations and procurement partners on buying and shipping devices internationally.
- Design device models for vendor teams and pick the right one for each program.
- Lock devices down to what the work needs, including copy and paste, downloads, printing, USB, and app and extension controls.
- Own the device lifecycle for vendor fleets, from enrollment to wipe, lock, and retrieval when an engagement ends.
- Feed ChromeOS device data into fleet telemetry, tracking checking in devices, OS version, and state drift.
- Partner with Corporate Security on hardware standards, device trust signals, and access decisions.
- Support Android as a second platform, working with the corporate mobile program on Android Enterprise and zero-touch enrollment.
Requirements
- Have owned ChromeOS as a platform for a fleet of thousands of devices.
- Know the Google Admin console and Chrome Enterprise well: OU design, device and user policy, enrollment, and reporting.
- Have automated ChromeOS policy through the Chrome Policy API or GAM.
- Have run kiosk, managed guest, or shared device programs for frontline, contact center, or outsourced teams.
- Have set up zero touch enrollment with resellers and shipped devices across several countries.
- Have worked with Android device management and can hold your own in a mixed fleet.
- Excel at ambiguous problems that touch several teams at once.
- Communicate technical concepts clearly to any audience, including vendor partners.
- View IT Engineering as requiring product engineering rigor.
- Write clear documentation as a natural part of your workflow.
Preferred qualifications
- Manage device configuration as code instead of clicking in consoles.
- Have managed ChromeOS alongside macOS or mobile fleets.
- Have used VDI or browser-based access to keep data off the device for outsourced teams.
- Have supported BPO or vendor programs through fast growth into new regions.
- Have built automated, progressive rollout systems with promotion gated on telemetry.
- Have used LLMs to automate operational work, or are excited to make Claude a teammate.
