About this role
About Anthropic
Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.
About the role
Claude is now good at security work. It finds and fixes vulnerabilities in real codebases, triages alerts, and reasons about how an attacker would move through a system, and it improves with every model we ship. Many security platforms build on Claude and we shipped our first security product this year (Claude Security).
You'll lead the cybersecurity product at Anthropic. That means setting the strategy, deciding what we build and where we partner, shipping products, and being the company's voice with CISOs, security vendors, and researchers. Some of this is 0→1 (our first-party products are a few months old and the next ones don't exist yet) and some of it is scaling what already works. Security touches nearly every team at the company.
Key responsibilities
• Set Anthropic's cybersecurity product portfolio strategy and be accountable for the results.
• Ship security products. Vulnerability discovery and remediation in Claude Code today and a broader set of capabilities in the future.
• Represent Anthropic on security externally, with CISOs, vendors, researchers, governments, and press.
• Partner with research. Know where the model falls short on security tasks and help build a plan to improve.
• Work with safeguards and policy on model access for Cybersecurity.
• Keep the cross-functional threads moving across research, engineering, sales, safeguards, policy, legal, and comms.
Minimum qualifications
• You've spent meaningful time in security, whether building security products, running a security team, or doing the work yourself in application security, detection and response, vulnerability research, or offensive security.
• You've built products or businesses from scratch and taken them to paying customers.
• You design for where the models will be rather than where they are. You treat what the model can't do yet as a research target with a reliability bar, and you know what to ship in the meantime.
• You have strong product judgment and enough technical depth to read a finding and tell whether it's real.
• You're willing to do the unglamorous work.
• You communicate well with CISOs, researchers, and executives alike.
Preferred qualifications
• 12+ years of experience building and shipping products, especially in the security space .
• Fluency with AI products: evaluations, model behavior as part of the product surface
• Technical background or experience working closely with infrastructure/platform teams
• Strong technical judgment with ability to go deep on security and infrastructure topics
• Structured thinking and ability to break down complex compliance requiremen
