Staff / Senior Software Engineer (Security Fusion Platform)

Join Anthropic, a leading AI safety and research company, as a Staff/Senior Software Engineer in the Data Center Security Engineering (DCSE) team. In this foundational role, you will build and own the Security Fusion Platform, which correlates physical security signals and presents them to analysts. You will work closely with other engineers and external vendors, and be responsible for the design, technical approach, and production results of the platform. This role involves regular travel to data center sites and requires no security clearance.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification

Responsibilities

• Concevoir et construire la plateforme de fusion de sécurité, y compris le bus d'événements et le schéma d'événements normalisés.
• Développer des pipelines de classification et d'analyse, y compris la vision par ordinateur et la fusion multi-capteurs.
• Travailler en collaboration avec des ingénieurs et des intégrateurs externes pour définir les exigences et les critères d'acceptation.
• Have directed vendor or integrator work: written requirements and acceptance criteria, reviewed deliverables against them, and decided what gets accepted
• Have integrated with external systems you did not control (vendor APIs, on-prem appliances, video platforms, building systems) and designed for a life beyond any one vendor
• Design for the failure you won't see coming (a silent feed, a lost network path, a replayed event, a de-tuned rule), know how your system behaves when a source lies or goes quiet, and test for it
• Have owned a system end to end: set the design, made the tradeoffs, shipped it, and answered for it in production
• Build tools for people who use them under pressure and iterate with those operators
• Have built and run event-driven backend systems in production

Requirements

• Are proficient in at least one backend language such as Python, Go, or Rust, and have worked with a message bus or event streaming system such as Kafka
• Experience building or operating a security operations platform (SOC, physical security operations, or the detection engineering behind one)
• Experience producing evidence for auditors or assessors: log integrity, retention, chain of custody
• Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
• Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
• Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

Preferred

• Experience building ML or computer vision inference pipelines over video and sensor streams
• PSIM (physical security information management) or VMS (video management system) integration experience, or familiarity with physical access control and building systems data
• Experience using AI-assisted development tooling as a core part of your workflow
