Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.
Data Center Security Engineering (DCSE) owns physical security across Anthropic's data center footprint.
The Security Fusion Platform is where physical security signals from across that footprint are correlated and put in front of the analysts who act on them.
Responsibilities
Design and build the event bus and normalized event schema: source identity, sequencing, health state, and the adapter contract.
Build correlation and alerting: the rules and services that turn events from independent sources into alerts.
Build the classification and analytics pipelines: computer vision and multi-sensor fusion.
Build analyst surfaces: the queue, escalation tooling, dashboards, camera viewers, and video wall content.
Deliver audit evidence: durable, tamper-evident event history, evidence exports, and retention and access controls.
Instrument metrics and self-monitoring: detection rates, nuisance ratios, alert aging, time to resolve.
Deploy across sites: site-local components, central services, and the sync that keeps configuration, rules, and state consistent.
Specify the compute the platform runs on.
Write requirements and acceptance criteria for what vendors and integrators deliver.
Requirements
Have built and run event-driven backend systems in production.
Are proficient in at least one backend language such as Python, Go, or Rust, and have worked with a message bus or event streaming system such as Kafka.
Have owned a system end to end: set the design, made the tradeoffs, shipped it, and answered for it in production.
Have integrated with external systems you did not control.
Have directed vendor or integrator work.
Design for the failure you won't see coming.
Build tools for people who use them under pressure.
Conditions
The annual compensation range for this role is $320,000 - $405,000 USD.
This role involves regular travel to data center sites.
