IT Systems Engineer (Client Platform Engineer, ChromeOS) in Ashington

• The Endpoint team (Client Platform Engineering) manages the devices Anthropic’s people work on, plus the infrastructure underneath them
• We treat the fleet as a distributed platform, not a collection of devices, and configuration ships as code through pull requests, CI, staging, and a canary group
• Today the fleet is mostly macOS, with a growing mobile footprint
• Anthropic also works with vendor and business process outsourcing (BPO) partners whose teams need access to Anthropic systems
• Those programs are growing, in more countries and with more vendors
• 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
• You will own ChromeOS end to end, from how devices are bought and enrolled to how they are locked down, monitored, and retired, and help bring Android in as a second platform
• The team is deliberately lean and runs with high autonomy
• You’ll define what ChromeOS looks like at Anthropic and own the platform decisions that get it there
• Own ChromeOS as a platform at Anthropic: 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, so changes are reviewed, tested, and progressively rolled out like the rest of the fleet
• Build zero touch enrollment through resellers, so a Chromebook arrives enrolled and works the first time in every country our vendor partners work from
• Work with IT Operations and procurement partners on buying and shipping devices internationally, including regions our current partners don’t reach
• Design device models for vendor teams (kiosk, managed guest sessions, shared devices, and assigned devices) and pick the right one for each program
• Lock devices down to what the 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 when an engagement ends
• Feed ChromeOS device data into our fleet telemetry, tracking which devices are checking in, OS version, and drift between expected and actual state
• Partner with Corporate Security on hardware standards (such as Verified Access attestation and minimum AUE date), device trust signals, and access decisions
• Work with Security on the contractor access model and on keeping Anthropic data off vendor devices
• Run data loss controls through Chrome Enterprise Premium
• Work with Security on the vendor identity model: which accounts vendor staff use and in which tenant
• Support Android as a second platform, working with the corporate mobile program on Android Enterprise and zero-touch enrollment
• Write the runbooks IT Operations and vendor partners use to stand up a new program
