About the company
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.
Responsibilities
- Own the network security roadmap: threat model from the management plane through Kubernetes and cloud interconnects, decide what to build, and deliver it
- Be able to reason about the design and implementation of default-deny ingress and egress, segmentation between research, training, and production, private connectivity, and mTLS/service identity across every environment
- Ship these as secure-by-default primitives so new clusters, VPCs, and data center links inherit the right boundaries without security on the critical path
- Join networking, cluster, and data center teams at design time so topology, routing, and firewall decisions carry our invariants from day one
- Build visibility into traffic and boundary drift, with detection for exfiltration paths and automated remediation where safe
- Own the network security evidence for our security goals and compliance
- Hire, grow, and retain senior security software engineers; own their career development, and set the practices the team runs on as it scales
Requirements
- 8+ years of front line management experience
- Low ego, high empathy; has built diverse teams and has former reports who would work for them again
- Experience managing infrastructure or security engineering teams, including hiring, developing, and managing senior and staff engineers
- Has grown engineers into staff or lead roles, and has made the call to move someone out when coaching didn't work
- Kept a team intact and delivering through reorgs, charter changes, or leadership turnover
- Experience owning a security or infrastructure domain end to end
- Scaled a team and its systems together through hypergrowth
- Hands-on network security engineering in cloud and/or on-prem environments: VPC design, interconnects, private service connectivity, cloud firewall policy, egress control, physical segmentation, and out-of-band/management-plane security
- Threat modeling and risk assessment for networked systems
- Secured Kubernetes networking at scale, or worked in high-assurance environments where controls had to be evidenced, not just deployed
Conditions
- Annual compensation range: $405,000 - $485,000 USD
- Location-based hybrid policy: currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time
- Visa sponsorship available
