Responsibilities

Anthropic's Corporate Systems team runs the core collaboration platforms everyone here works in and builds the tooling and automation behind IT. That responsibility extends to the companies we acquire. Their people, devices, and systems have to come into Anthropic securely.

• Define the technical integration plan and its requirements: what moves, where it lands, in what order, and what has to be ready on day one
• Run the integration: take over administration, migrate people, devices, and data, and retire what's no longer needed, with support from other IT Engineering teams as required.
• Work with Business Technology, Client Platform, Corporate Network, IT Operations, and Security on their parts of each integration

• Working knowledge of endpoint management and security concepts, enough to lead diligence on an unfamiliar fleet
• A proven ability to understand an unfamiliar IT environment quickly and deliver a prioritized view of risk to non-specialists
• A record of leading technical projects that span several teams and run to a fixed date, while doing much of the engineering yourself

Tech stack
