The opportunity

Data Center Security Engineering (DCSE) secures Anthropic's data center footprint; this role covers how the sites are designed and built to be secure. Much of that footprint is designed and built with partners, so a site's security is decided early: in what Anthropic hands the…

What you'll do

  • Produce a vendor-ready design package for perimeter barriers and hostile: vehicle mitigation, intrusion detection and its zoning, video coverage, security lighting matched to camera performance, and penetration protection: performance specifications, typical details and reference drawings, and device and zone schedules, written so a design firm can build to them and a test can prove them

  • Define the per-site engineering basis: which requirements apply to a site based on its risk profile and the threats it faces, with compensating controls and documented deviations

  • Write the acceptance criteria and test methods: the verification method behind each requirement and the evidence a site must produce to pass acceptance

  • Set standoff, structural hardening, and site layout criteria for new designs,: tied to the threat basis they derive from

  • Run field verification: commissioning and acceptance testing of perimeter, detection, video, and lighting against performance criteria (detection coverage tests, photometric measurements, video quality checks)

  • Write the operational and design requirements for security operations control: rooms: console layout, wall versus workstation content, supervisor placement; room network, power, backup, and resilient communications to the team's segmentation and hardening baseline

What they're looking for

  • Experience carrying a physical security design from construction documents: through construction to acceptance testing
  • Experience engineering the security scope of colocation or partner-delivered facilities
  • Working knowledge of published standards for standoff, hostile vehicle: mitigation, and intrusion detection zoning
  • Photometric and video quality measurement experience
  • Control room, AV, or network design experience: console layouts, video wall systems, resilient communications
  • Experience using AI-assisted tooling for drafting and review as a core part of your workflow
