IT Systems Engineer, Client Platform Engineer, ChromeOS

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, plus the infrastructure underneath them. We treat the fleet as a distributed platform, not a collection of devices, and configuration ships as code through pull requests, CI, staging, and a canary group. Today the fleet is mostly macOS, with a growing mobile footprint.

Anthropic also works with vendor and business process outsourcing (BPO) partners whose teams need access to Anthropic systems. Those programs are growing, in more countries and with more vendors. Anthropic-owned Chromebooks issued to vendor staff are becoming the default device for vendor teams. This role exists to make ChromeOS a supported platform with a dedicated owner. You will own ChromeOS end to end, from how devices are bought and enrolled to how they are locked down, monitored, and retired, and help bring Android in as a second platform.

The team is deliberately lean and runs with high autonomy. You’ll define what ChromeOS looks like at Anthropic and own the platform decisions that get it there.

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, so changes are reviewed, tested, and progressively rolled out like the rest of the fleet

Build zero touch enrollment through resellers, so a Chromebook arrives enrolled and works the first time in every country our vendor partners work from

Work with IT Operations and procurement partners on buying and shipping devices internationally, including regions our current partners don’t reach

Design device models for vendor teams (kiosk, managed guest sessions, shared devices, and assigned devices) and pick the right one for each program

Lock devices down to what the work needs: 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 our fleet telemetry, tracking which devices are checking in, OS version, and drift between expected and actual state

Partner with Corporate Security on hardware standards (such as Verified Access attestation and minimum AUE date), device trust signals, and access decisions

Work with Security on the contractor access model and on keeping Anthropic data off vendor devices

Run data loss controls through Chrome Enterprise Premium

Work with Security on the vendor identity model: which accounts vendor staff use and in which tenant

Support Android as a second platform, working with the corporate mobile program on Android Enterprise and zero-touch enrollment

Write the runbooks IT Operations and vendor partners use to stand up a new program

You may be a good fit if you

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
