IT Systems Engineer, Client Platform Engineer, ChromeOS

The Endpoint team (Client Platform Engineering) manages the devices Anthropic’s people work on, plus the infrastructure underneath them. Configuration ships as code through pull requests, CI, staging, and a canary group. The fleet is mostly macOS, with a growing mobile footprint. Anthropic-owned Chromebooks issued to vendor staff are becoming the default device for vendor teams. This role exists to make ChromeOS a supported platform with a dedicated owner, owning ChromeOS end to end from device purchase and enrollment to lockdown, monitoring, and retirement, and helping bring Android in as a second platform.

• Own ChromeOS as a platform: device standards, Google Admin console and Chrome Enterprise setup, organizational unit design, and policy.
• Manage ChromeOS policy as code through the Chrome Policy API, GAM, and Terraform in the team's config-as-code pipeline.
• Build zero touch enrollment through resellers so Chromebooks arrive enrolled and work in every country vendor partners work from.
• Work with IT Operations and procurement on buying and shipping devices internationally.
• Design device models for vendor teams (kiosk, managed guest sessions, shared devices, assigned devices).
• Lock devices down to what work needs: copy and paste, downloads, printing, USB, and app and extension controls.
• Own the device lifecycle for vendor fleets, from enrollment to wipe, lock, and retrieval.
• Feed ChromeOS device data into fleet telemetry, tracking check-in, OS version, and drift.
• Partner with Corporate Security on hardware standards (Verified Access attestation, minimum AUE date), device trust signals, and access decisions.
• Work with Security on the contractor access model and keeping Anthropic data off vendor devices.
• Run data loss controls through Chrome Enterprise Premium.
• Work with Security on the vendor identity model.
• Support Android as a second platform, working with the corporate mobile program on Android Enterprise and zero-touch enrollment.
• Write runbooks for IT Operations and vendor partners.

• Have owned ChromeOS as a platform for a fleet of thousands of devices.
• Know the Google Admin console and Chrome Enterprise well: OU design, device and user policy, enrollment, and reporting.
• Have automated ChromeOS policy through the Chrome Policy API or GAM.
• Have run kiosk, managed guest, or shared device programs for frontline, contact center, or outsourced teams.
• Have set up zero touch enrollment with resellers and shipped devices across several countries.
• Have worked with Android device management and can hold your own in a mixed fleet.
• Excel at ambiguous problems that touch several teams at once.
• Communicate technical concepts clearly to any audience, including vendor partners.
• View IT Engineering as requiring product engineering rigor.
• Write clear documentation as a natural part of your workflow.

• Manage device configuration as code (pull requests, CI, staged rollout) instead of clicking in consoles.
• Have managed ChromeOS alongside macOS or mobile fleets.
• Have used VDI or browser-based access to keep data off the device for outsourced teams.
• Have supported BPO or vendor programs through fast growth into new regions.
• Have built automated, progressive rollout systems with promotion gated on telemetry.
• Have used LLMs to automate operational work, or are excited to make Claude a teammate.

• Python and shell scripting.
• ChromeOS management through the Google Admin console and Chrome Enterprise.
• Google Admin SDK, Chrome Policy API, and GAM for automating policy and reporting.
• Android Enterprise management (working knowledge).
• Querying live device state at fleet scale.
• GitOps and CI for configuration management.
• Endpoint security fundamentals.

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices. Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed.
