Job summary

Anthropic Limited is seeking an engineering manager to lead a team of platform security engineers responsible for firmware research, OS and kernel hardening, and platform trust integration across on-prem and hosted environments. You will own the roadmap for this group, grow the team, and ensure a secure compute platform from silicon roots of trust to measured boot.

You'll partner with infrastructure, fleet, silicon vendors and compute providers, review designs, and drive security posture without

Qualifications

• Have 10+ years in systems security, with at least 5 years focused on firmware, hardware, or OS-level security.
• Have 5+ years as a people manager of security or systems engineers, including hiring and developing senior and staff-level engineers.
• Can go from architecture to implementation detail with your engineers: secure boot, measured boot, TPM and other roots of trust, attestation protocols (SPDM, DICE, remote attestation), UEFI and BMC firmware, and Linux kernel and OS hardening.
• Have owned a technical roadmap end to end, including prioritization calls when security, performance, and delivery timelines conflict.
• Have worked directly with silicon vendors, OEMs, or cloud and bare-metal providers on security requirements and remediation.

Responsibilities

• Lead and grow the platform security engineering group: hiring, onboarding, development, performance, and prioritization for full-time engineers, and coordination of contractor and vendor engineers.
• Own the platform security roadmap and its delivery: hardware root of trust and attestation, secure and measured boot across CPU, BMC, accelerator, and peripheral firmware, OS and kernel hardening, and the host-side pipeline that turns attestation evidence into production gates.
• Own the firmware supply chain posture for the fleet: SBOM and reference integrity manifests, authenticated update, rollback protection, and vendor relationships to get fixes shipped.
• Drive platform risk assessments for new compute platforms and providers, and make evidence-based go/no-go recommendations with bounded risk.
• Partner with infrastructure, fleet, compute, and detection and response teams so that platform controls land in production without degrading training or inference performance.
