The opportunity
We're seeking a vulnerability assessment candidate for platform security. You'll work cross functionally with teams across Anthropic and our partners to assess security features in hardware, firmware, bootloaders, operating systems, and attestation systems to identify and remove vulnerabilities from the ground up.
What you'll do
Audit secure boot chains from firmware through OS initialization for diverse: hardware platforms (CPUs, BMCs, switches, peripherals, and embedded microcontrollers)
Audit attestation systems that provide cryptographic proof of system state: from hardware root of trust through application layer
Audit measured boot implementations and runtime integrity monitoring
Integrate security controls with infrastructure teams without impacting training performance
Validate security mechanisms before production deployment
Conduct firmware vulnerability assessments and penetration testing
What they're looking for
- + years of experience in systems security, with at least 5 years focused on: low-level security (firmware, bootloaders, and OS kernel-level security)
- Capacity to audit for logic bugs in code written in Rust or Go
- Ability to find vulnerabilities via reverse engineering in software that is provided only in binary form
- Experience performing fault injection & side-channel analysis attacks on hardware
- Experience auditing silicon root of trust implementations
- Experience auditing confidential computing technologies and hardware-based TEEs
- Background in formal verification or security proof techniques
- or more talks at top-tier security conferences with candidate listed as first author
