About The Position

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 seeking a Security Engineering Manager to lead our Secure Frameworks team, which builds high-leverage security frameworks and libraries that make secure development easy and prevent entire classes of vulnerabilities through careful design. You'll collaborate closely with teams and leaders across Anthropic to own critical security foundations, including cryptographic frameworks and secure serialization and authorization systems that empower teams to work securely without becoming security experts themselves.

Requirements

5+ years managing security engineering teams with proven track record of team productivity
5+ years hands-on security and software engineering experience
Deep expertise in securing complex architectures, threat modeling, and risk assessment with ability to evaluate security tradeoffs and make risk-based decisions
Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, balancing security requirements with developer experience and velocity
Clear and persuasive communicator in both writing and verbal settings
Passionate about building diverse, high-performing teams and growing engineers in a fast-paced environment
Low ego, high empathy, and have a track record as a talent magnet
Experience working with technical internal customers
Familiarity with AI safety concepts and frameworks

Responsibilities

Design frameworks and libraries that enable secure handling of sensitive data including model weights, customer data, and training datasets
Own what you build completely; ensuring outstanding user experience, proactive monitoring, and responsive support
Enable other teams to build their own security solutions by providing design pattern guidance and expanding security ownership beyond your team
Partner with product, research, and infrastructure teams, as well as other Security teams to ensure frameworks integrate smoothly with lower-layer security controls
Make strategic decisions about which frameworks to build based on security risk and translate into prioritized roadmaps
Scale the team's impact from primarily supporting researchers today to enabling the broader product engineering organization as Anthropic grows
Define success metrics around framework adoption and impact - the team succeeds when engineers naturally reach for Secure Frameworks' tools rather than building security solutions from scratch
Manage and grow a team of engineers to deliver high-impact projects that balance security rigor with development velocity
