In the posting’s own words

We are hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a team of engineers building AI-powered cybersecurity products. The work spans research, product, and go-to-market.

What it asks for · 8

  • Have 8+ years of software engineering experience and 4+ years managing engineers, with ownership of a team's hiring, performance, and technical direction
  • Have shipped cybersecurity products in production (SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management, application security, threat detection, incident response, or security automation)
  • Have taken a team from prototype through first paying customers to scaled deployment
  • Are technical and hands-on: comfortable in design reviews and in the team's code
  • Have strong product instincts and a record of helping teams decide what to build, not just how
  • Communicate clearly across functions and keep research, product, GTM, and executive partners aligned through ambiguity
  • Treat direct customer contact as a primary input to your roadmap
  • Care deeply about Anthropic's mission and about developing AI responsibly and safely

Also a plus

  • Hands-on security expertise: application security, vulnerability research, reverse engineering, incident response, penetration testing, or detection engineering
  • Building products on LLMs, including agentic systems, evals, and prompt and model iteration loops
  • Strict data-handling environments (BYOC, CMEK, regulated industries, governments)
  • Both startup and enterprise-scale company experience
  • Working closely with research to translate capability into shipped product
  • Ecosystem partnerships and MCP, CI/CD, or source-control integrations

What the job covers

  • Lead and grow the team: hiring, performance, and the culture that keeps strong engineers doing their best work
  • Stay close to customers, design partners, and the security community; turn what you learn into products and unblock the team on the ones that matter
  • Own architectural decisions across the full stack, from agentic systems and model orchestration to product surfaces, integrations, and data infrastructure
  • Coordinate with GTM, partnerships, and other product areas
  • Grow the next layer of leadership on the team
