About the job
Own and operate Anthropic’s endpoint platform, securing and automating its mostly macOS device fleet and supporting trusted-device access decisions.
What you'll do
- Manage endpoint configuration as code and operate the MDM service, including infrastructure, rollouts, observability, upgrades, and incident response.
- Build patching, provisioning, telemetry, and automation systems; use Claude to reduce manual operations.
- Partner with Security and other teams on hardening and compliance, and handle endpoint escalations.
What they ask for
- 8+ years building secure IT systems in complex environments, including leading cross-team projects.
- Experience managing thousands of macOS devices through a modern MDM.
- Treat endpoint configuration as version-controlled, peer-reviewed code; strong knowledge of macOS internals.
- Write Python and shell scripts; produce design docs and runbooks.
Nice to have
- Experience operating an MDM as a service, using open-source endpoint tools, or building progressive rollouts gated by telemetry.
- Public-cloud infrastructure-as-code experience, Linux administration, or using LLMs to automate operations.
