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
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.
Your team will prototype and ship products that use frontier models to defend code and infrastructure. You will set technical direction, partner with research to turn new model capabilities into products, and stay close to customers so the team builds the right things, not just builds things well.
This is a builder's role. The team is small, the pace is high, and you should expect to be in the code, in customer calls, and in research reviews the same week. You also need to scale the team without losing the prototyping energy that got the product here.
Responsibilities
- 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
You may be a good fit if you
- 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
Strong candidates may also have experience with
- Hands-on security expertise: application security, vulnerability research, reverse engineering, incident response, penetration testing, or detection engineering
- Building products on
