IT Systems Engineer, Client Platform Engineer, ChromeOS

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

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.

What it asks for · 17

• 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

• Communicate technical concepts clearly to any audience, including vendor partners

3 more in the original.

Also a plus

• 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

What the job covers

• 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
