We’re looking for a Security Engineering Lead to own and drive Anthropic’s Corporate Security program. This is a player-coach Tech Lead Manager (TLM) role: you’ll be both the most senior technical individual contributor on corporate security and the people leader for a lean, high-impact team of Security Engineers. You will set the technical direction, write code and ship tooling alongside your team, and build the culture and processes that allow the team to scale.

Corporate Security at Anthropic encompasses everything that protects our people, endpoints, networks, SaaS ecosystem, and corporate data—the full surface area outside of production infrastructure. The scope is broad and the team is deliberately small, which means you’ll need deep technical skills across multiple domains, strong judgment about where to invest, and a bias toward automation and engineering-driven solutions over manual process.

You’ll report into Security leadership and partner closely with IT, Infrastructure Security, Detection & Response, and GRC teams. This role is high-visibility and high-autonomy: you’ll be expected to define the roadmap, make architectural decisions, and represent Corporate Security across the company.
