About 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
Claude is trained and served on hardware in data centers Anthropic operates and in sites partners build and run for us. DCSE secures that footprint: the sites, the hardware moving through them, and the people and vendors who touch it. Part of that footprint is the radio spectrum around and inside each site: what transmits there, what listens there, and what the equipment itself gives off. You'll be the engineer who owns that domain end to end: on-site RF monitoring and detection, technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM) and emanations security, from the threat basis through the systems that make the spectrum observable, to sign-off before a site opens.
The engineering is in the monitoring and in the tooling that proves the controls hold: the sensors, receivers and their placement, the site baselines, and the detection logic that turns a rogue transmitter or an unexpected emitter into an alert an analyst trusts. External specialist partners do the hands-on sweep and measurement work; you write the scope, direct them on site and decide whether their report stands. The goal is security that runs itself: coverage, sensor health and evidence verified continuously, with tools and AI agents doing the routine triage. We favor simple, standard controls and tools that can be verified over elaborate ones. We use Claude throughout our engineering workflow and expect you to as well.
You'll work with the rest of DCSE, including its physical security systems engineers and the engineers on its security monitoring platform, with Anthropic's data center operations, construction and legal teams, and directly with site operators and landlords. The role is based in San Francisco, with remote applicants in the US considered, and involves regular travel to data center sites, which are critical infrastructure.
Key responsibilities
- On-site RF monitoring and detection: design and develop the monitoring at each site: sensor, receiver and antenna selection and placement, the spectrum monitoring architecture, site RF baselines and what keeps them current, and detections that reach the team's security monitoring platform as alerts analysts keep trusting
- Tools, automation and AI agents: build the detection and classification tooling, the instruments and software for checks between sweeps, the findings and evidence records behind them, and the agents that triage alerts and watch sensor health. When a review keeps costing people time, you build the tool or agent that retires it
