Technical Recruiter, Security

Anthropic•San Francisco, CA

29d•$240,000 - $295,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Anthropic's Security organization protects the models, the infrastructure, and the people behind them, spanning platform and application security, detection and response, identity, compliance, corporate engineering and IT, insider risk, and physical security. The adversaries are well resourced, the assets are novel, and the consequences of getting it wrong extend beyond Anthropic. As Technical Recruiter, Security, you'll join the small team of recruiters who hire for that organization, owning full lifecycle recruiting for your searches and partnering with security leaders to turn ambiguous needs into clear search strategies. Security professionals are among the most heavily recruited people in technology, and earning their attention takes real domain fluency rather than a template.

Requirements

Deep full lifecycle recruiting experience, with substantial time supporting security, infrastructure, or comparably technical engineering organizations
Ability to hold a substantive technical conversation about security domains such as application security, cloud and infrastructure security, detection and response, identity, or compliance, and to evaluate technical qualifications rather than match keywords
Proficiency with an applicant tracking system like Greenhouse and other modern sourcing tools
Experience partnering directly with hiring managers on intake, bar calibration, and interview loop design
Sound independent judgment on candidate quality, and the ability to redirect a hiring manager away from pedigree and credential proxies toward the underlying competencies
Genuine interest in Anthropic's mission and in the role a strong security function plays in achieving it

Nice To Haves

Experience recruiting at a high-growth technology, AI, or machine learning company
Working knowledge of the security credential landscape and clear judgment about where those credentials carry signal and where they do not
Experience hiring for engineering, incident response, threat intelligence, insider risk, or physical security
Experience improving recruiting processes, market maps, or interview architecture where they were thin or absent
Comfort using LLMs to accelerate sourcing, research, and market mapping

Responsibilities

Own full lifecycle recruiting for a portfolio of roles across the Security organization, from intake through offer and close
Run structured intakes with security hiring managers, translating ambiguous needs into scoped requirements, calibrated bars, and search strategies
Build and maintain pipelines of specialized security talent, with an emphasis on passive candidates
Refine security interview loops, take-home assignments, and scorecards alongside hiring managers, your recruiting counterparts, and Recruiting Operations
Develop genuine domain fluency so you can hold a credible conversation with a detection engineer, a cryptographer, and a compliance lead in the same week
Advise hiring managers with market data and candid calibration feedback, and influence decisions through credibility rather than volume
Partner with Compensation, People Partners, and Mobility to structure equitable offers and guide candidates to close
Handle sensitive role and candidate information with discretion, including for searches whose scope is confidential
