Staff / Senior Data Center Security EngineerNew$320K

The opportunity

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.

What you'll do

  • Security domains, end to end: own one or more of physical security at partner-operated and Anthropic-operated sites, hardware supply chain and chain of custody, media protection and sanitization, personnel security and site access, third-party and vendor security assessment, and maintenance and contingency controls

  • Tools, automation and AI agents: build the internal tools, automation and agents the team runs on: evidence collection, access reviews, asset and custody tracking, partner intake. When a process keeps costing people time, you build the tool that retires it

  • Security review for new sites, leases and vendors: find the gaps in the design, the contract and the operator's procedures, write the security terms and exhibits, and verify the fixes after signing

  • Requirements and procedures as code: write requirements and procedures that a partner can build to and an assessor can test, kept as code in a version-controlled repository

  • Site and supplier assessment: assess sites and suppliers against those requirements, on site and from evidence; document deviations and engineer the compensating control where a requirement can't be met as written

  • Continuous compliance evidence: tie controls to the compliance frameworks we and our partners are assessed against, with evidence always current so an assessment pulls from it directly

What they're looking for

  • Experience across several of the domains above rather than one
  • Experience at sites you did not fully control: cloud, colocation or GPU cloud operators
  • Experience with federal assessment regimes based on NIST SP 800-53, including: supply chain (NIST SP 800-161) and media sanitization (NIST SP 800-88) guidance; have produced evidence an assessor accepted
  • Have built governance, risk and compliance (GRC) or evidence automation: automated control checks, asset or custody tracking, questionnaire and assessment pipelines, docs-as-code workflows
  • Have run incident response at physical sites: alarms, investigations, after-action fixes
  • Have worked in live data halls and on active construction sites, and can follow a method of procedure
  • Experience redlining contract security language with legal and procurement counterparts
  • Experience with international sites: per-country personnel screening and staffing restrictions, data residency, and export controls on hardware
