Anthropics 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.
The Endpoint team (Client Platform Engineering) treats Anthropics device fleet as a distributed platform, not a collection of laptops. We run our own MDM as a production service and manage every piece of device configuration as code. Policies, configuration profiles, queries, remediation scripts, and software all ship through pull requests, CI, a staging environment, and a canary group before they reach the fleet. The fleet spans macOS, Windows, and a growing mobile footprint.
Youll own that platform end to end: the infrastructure underneath the MDM, the configuration on top of it, the patching and software pipelines that keep thousands of devices patched and secure, and the telemetry that tells us what is actually true on every device. Youll build zero touch provisioning that turns a sealed box into a productive machine on day one, manage rapid patching enforcement schedules while maintaining a good user experience, and build automation and Claude-driven workflows to eliminate operational toil. The role sits at the intersection of security and developer experience: working with Security teams on hardening, compliance controls, and detection and response, and with developer and infrastructure teams to make sure controls don't get in the way of getting work done. It also lays the groundwork for access decisions based on device trust.
If you think of 100% compliant as a claim to audit rather than a fact to report, youll fit right in. The team is deliberately lean and runs with high autonomy. Youll help define the endpoint roadmap, make architecture decisions, and own the platform every Anthropic employees work runs on. Your work will directly shape how we scale to AI Safety Level 4 and beyond.

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
