About the role

Build and own the Security Fusion Platform that correlates physical security signals across Anthropic's data centers, delivering event-driven analytics, dashboards, and audit evidence to 24/7 analysts. End-to-end ownership from event contracts to production software across site-local and central services, with regular travel to data center sites.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build the event bus and normalized event schema: source identity, sequencing, health state, and the adapter contract that owners of each sensor and system feed build to, plus adapters where needed
  • Build correlation and alerting: the rules and services that turn events from independent sources into alerts an analyst can act on
  • Build the classification and analytics pipelines: computer vision and multi-sensor fusion, with results landing on the event bus
  • Build analyst surfaces: the queue, escalation tooling, dashboards, camera viewers, and video wall content a 24/7 watch works from, plus video analytics integration so camera streams arrive on the bus as events
  • Deliver audit evidence: durable, tamper-evident event history, evidence exports, and the retention and access controls around them
  • Instrument metrics and self-monitoring: detection rates, nuisance ratios, alert aging, time to resolve; heartbeats and loss-of-telemetry alarms on every feed, tested fail-secure behavior, and change audit on every rule
  • Deploy across sites: site-local components, central services, and the sync that keeps configuration, rules, and state consistent, then commission each site and hand over to the analysts
  • Specify the compute the platform runs on: servers, storage, and the platform's network segment to the team's segmentation and hardening baseline
  • Write requirements and acceptance criteria for vendors and integrators: review deliverables against them, and decide on acceptance

Qualifications

  • Have built and run event-driven backend systems in production
  • 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
  • Have owned a system end to end: set the design, made the tradeoffs, shipped it, and answered for it in production
  • 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
  • Have directed vendor or integrator work: written requirements and acceptance criteria, reviewed deliverables against them, and decided what gets accepted
  • Design for the failure you won't see coming (silent feed, lost network path, replayed event, de-tuned rule), test for it
  • Build tools for people who use them under pressure and iterate with those operators

Required:Event-driven backend systemsBackend programmingMessage bus / event streaming
