Skills
- At least 8 years of software engineering or security engineering experience, including leading and remediating complex security risks independently
- Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent experience
- Strong programming skills in Python or at least one systems language such as Go, Rust, or C/C++
- Broad knowledge across core security engineering domains, with depth in at least one: identity and secrets management, developer security and supply chain, infrastructure and cloud security, secure frameworks
- Calibrated risk judgment with ability to assess severity and likelihood
- Experience leading cross‑functional security initiatives and navigating complex organizational dynamics
- Outstanding communication skills translating technical concepts across all organization levels
- Track record of bringing clarity and ownership to ambiguous technical problems and driving resolution
- Low ego and high empathy, history of supporting diverse inclusive teams
- Passion for AI safety and the role security and risk management play in building trustworthy AI systems
Responsibilities
- Take ownership of Anthropic’s most complex security risk problems and drive them end to end with minimal oversight, turning ambiguous signals into a defensible view of severity and likelihood and seeing them through escalation, treatment decisions, and remediation
- Build systems that make risk measurable and allow risk work to scale, including quantification tooling, automated intake and triage, and observability used by partner teams
- Work alongside Security Engineering as a calibrated technical peer, pressure test architectures and treatment plans, translate findings into prioritized remediation roadmaps, and make investment case
- Mentor engineers and risk practitioners across Security and the broader engineering organization, building a risk engineering culture
- Work across Anthropic’s security landscape (identity, secrets management, developer security, supply chain, infrastructure, secure frameworks) to build context for risk assessment
- Go deep into systems to understand how they are built and fail, ensuring assessments and treatment plans reflect engineering reality
- Identify systematic risks through threat modeling and structured assessment, drive severity calibration and escalation conversations
- Contribute to quantitative risk work, applying calibrated estimation and Monte Carlo simulation
- Design and build AI‑native risk tooling that uses Claude to classify incoming risks, augment triage, and continuously sense changes
- Create dashboards and data pipelines that give engineering and product teams real‑time visibility into risk posture
- Partner with Security Engineering and risk owners to design remediation roadmaps with explicit sequencing, ownership, and investment required
- Measure outcomes rather than activity, focusing on decisions made and risk reduced
