Applied AI Architect, Cyber Specialist

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team. Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.

What it asks for · 6

• 5+ years in security roles, with hands-on depth in at least two of: application security and secure SDLC, offensive security and penetration testing, detection and response, or threat intelligence and vulnerability management
• Experience in a technical customer-facing role (Solutions Architect, Sales Engineer, security consultant, TAM), or on a security team where you had to win investment from leadership
• Experience with large enterprise customers and complex, multi-stakeholder buying cycles, including working alongside the vendors and partners already in the account
• The ability to translate between security teams, engineering teams, and executives
• Comfort with Python, CI/CD, and cloud environments, plus hands-on experience using LLMs for security work such as code review, vulnerability discovery, triage, or investigation
• A love of teaching and a collaborative approach to working across teams and balancing competing priorities

What the job covers

• Join account teams to understand a customer’s security program, identify where Claude can do meaningful security work, and turn that into a technical plan and business case
• Serve as the security-domain technical advisor on strategic enterprise accounts, from discovery through deployment
• Move customers from one-time code scanning to sustained security workloads: application security in the SDLC, continuous automated penetration testing, alert triage and investigation, and threat intelligence that answers “does this new vulnerability affect us, and where”
• Build and maintain reference implementations, harnesses, and evaluation approaches, and help customers adapt them to their own environments and controls
• Run workshops and hands-on sessions where customer security teams use Claude on their own code and workflows
• Equip partners to deliver Claude-powered security outcomes, with a clear line between what Anthropic delivers and what partners deliver
• Speak credibly to every audience, from appsec engineers to CISOs and executives, including how to explain the value and risk of security work in business terms
• Define and track adoption depth for each security workload across your accounts, and work with Product and Engineering on the telemetry to measure it
• Write the playbooks and best practices the rest of the field can reuse, including how Claude complements the security tooling customers already own
• Develop reference customers who can speak to the value they’re realizing
• Stay current on frontier LLM capabilities and the new classes of vulnerabilities and attacks they surface
• Travel occasionally to customer sites for workshops and technical deep dives
