Platform Hardware Security

• Design and implement secure boot chains from firmware through OS initialization for diverse hardware platforms (CPUs, BMCs, switches, peripherals, and embedded microcontrollers)
• Architect attestation systems that provide cryptographic proof of system state from hardware root of trust through application layer
• Develop measured boot implementations and runtime integrity monitoring
• Create reference architectures and security requirements for bare-metal deployments

This role ensures the integrity of Anthropic's infrastructure from the ground up, building firmware, bootloaders, operating systems, and attestation systems to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems that are safe and beneficial for society.

• 8+ years of experience in systems security, with at least 5 years focused on firmware and hardware security (firmware, bootloaders, and OS-level security)
• Hands-on experience with secure boot, measured boot, and attestation technologies (TPM, Intel TXT, AMD SEV, ARM TrustZone)
• Strong understanding of cryptographic protocols and hardware security modules
• Experience with UEFI/BIOS or embedded firmware security, bootloader hardening, and chain of trust implementation

Competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
