IT Systems - Client Platform Engineering

As a member of the IT Systems Client Platform Engineering team at Anthropic, you'll be responsible for building, maintaining, and scaling the infrastructure supporting our rapidly growing organization. You'll manage a fleet of 2500 devices across macOS, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android platforms, with a focus on security, automation, and excellent user experience.

We're looking for a renaissance technologist who sees beyond traditional IT boundaries - someone who can debug networks, automate workflows, and tackle security challenges while keeping the human element in focus. The ideal candidate understands that security and usability aren't tradeoffs, but design constraints that drive innovation. You'll need to balance technical expertise with strategic thinking, building systems that scale with our ambitious mission to shape AI's future.

This role is for someone who sees technology as a craft and problem-solving as an art - someone who reads both RFCs and human reactions with equal fluency, knowing that the best solutions consider both technical excellence and user adoption. You'll work in a fast-paced, security-driven environment where your ability to balance complex technical challenges with practical user needs will be crucial to our success.
