Staff Security Engineer, Detection & Response

h3bAbout Anthropic /b /h3 pAnthropic’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. /p h3About the role /h3 pAs Anthropic's models grow more capable, so does the interest of people who want to attack or misuse them.

The Detection and Response (D R) team spots those threats and responds to incidents across every layer of Anthropic's technology stack. /p pThe team is early-stage, so you'll help build our detection and response capabilities from the ground up and work closely with our security and research teams. /p h3Key responsibilities /h3 ul liLead incident response across a range of domains, from external attacks to insider threats, spanning all layers of Anthropic's technology stack /li liBuild and deploy tooling, including tools that use large language models, to improve how we detect and respond to threats /li liCreate and tune detections, playbooks, and workflows to catch and respond to incidents quickly /li liReview incident response metrics and procedures, and drive improvements /li liWork across security and engineering teams /li liTake part in an on-call rotation /li /ul h3Minimum

However, some roles may require more time in our offices. /p pbVisa sponsorship: /bWe do sponsor visas!

However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this. /p pNot 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. 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. /p pbYour safety matters to us. /b To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you 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.

At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science.

We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills. /p pThe easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences. /p h3bCome work with us! /b /h3 pAnthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco.

We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues. bGuidance on Candidates' AI Usage: /b Learn about our policy for using AI in our application process. /p
