About the role
Agent Security's mission is to safely increase how much of the world's work agents can do, starting inside Anthropic.
Claude now writes and ships code, runs experiments and acts on people's behalf, for hours at a time. How much more it can take on depends on how safely it can operate. If, in the worst case, an agent misbehaves, Anthropic and the public may bear the consequences. Our mandate is to mitigate this risk, and Anthropic’s mission depends on it.
The Partnerships team pairs security engineers with the teams at Anthropic that build Claude, build agents and rely on agents. Those teams are our partners. When a team wants its agents to do more, we threat model the plan with them and build the controls together. Most of this has no playbook, so we have often created new controls from first principles. The ones that work become part of our toolbox, spread to other teams, and in some cases ship in our products.
We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead this team of security engineers. This is first and foremost a people leadership role. Few have secured agents at scale, especially at a frontier lab, so we don't expect you to have done it. We do expect you to have led security engineering teams, and we care most about how you lead people and reason about security.
This role operates at the frontier. Each model generation, and each new harness, brings new challenges. The number of teams building on agents keeps growing, and partner teams won't always agree with your calls. In return, you will have the chance to directly contribute to making transformative AI go well, which is the heart of our mission.
Key responsibilities
- Hire, mentor and grow senior and staff security engineers, and raise the bar as the team scales
- Set the team's investment strategy, deciding which teams get embedded engineers, and for how long, as demand outgrows the team
