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're looking for engineers to join a new effort building AI-powered products and capabilities for cybersecurity. You'll work across the stack to prototype new ideas and build from the ground up.
- This role sits at the intersection of research, product, and go-to-market. You'll work closely with research teams to develop new model capabilities for security applications, prototype and iterate quickly to validate ideas, and engage directly with customers and partners to inform what we build. The right candidate has the technical depth to engage with research, the product instincts to know what's worth building, and the drive to move fast.
Responsibilities
- Prototype and build new AI-powered products for cybersecurity
- Iterate quickly based on customer feedback and what you learn
- Collaborate with research teams to identify and develop new model capabilities for security applications
- Engage directly with customers and partners to understand workflows and inform product direction

You may be a good fit if you
- Have 7+ years of experience as a software engineer
- Experience developing cybersecurity products
- Enjoy fast iteration and are energized by prototyping new ideas
- Have strong product instincts and enjoy defining what to build, not just how to build it
- Are comfortable working closely with research and go-to-market teams
- Have strong communication skills and can work effectively across functions

- For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
How we're different
- We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. 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.
- The 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.
