The role
About Anthropic
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
We're seeking a vulnerability assessment candidate for platform security. You'll work cross functionally with teams across Anthropic and our partners to assess security features in hardware, firmware, bootloaders, operating systems, and attestation systems to identify and remove vulnerabilities from the ground up.
This role requires expertise in low-level systems security and the ability to audit the most security-critical platform elements. This is not a role where you can simply file a ticket and hope that the fixes get into production and stay in production. The role requires taking ownership that everything you find is eliminated fully and correctly in production, including ensuring known vulnerabilities are never reintroduced.
Key responsibilities
• Audit secure boot chains from firmware through OS initialization for diverse hardware platforms (CPUs, BMCs, switches, peripherals, and embedded microcontrollers)
• Audit attestation systems that provide cryptographic proof of system state from hardware root of trust through application layer
• Audit measured boot implementations and runtime integrity monitoring
• Integrate security controls with infrastructure teams without impacting training performance
• Validate security mechanisms before production deployment
• Conduct firmware vulnerability assessments and penetration testing
• Build firmware vulnerability assessment pipelines for continuous security monitoring
• Document security
