We are hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a team of engineers building AI-powered cybersecurity products. The work spans research, product, and go-to-market. Your team will prototype and ship products that use frontier models to defend code and infrastructure. You will set technical direction, partner with research to turn new model capabilities into products, and stay close to customers so the team builds the right things, not just builds things well. This is a builder's role. The team is small, the pace is high, and you should expect to be in the code, in customer calls, and in research reviews the same week. You also need to scale the team without losing the prototyping energy that got the product here. Responsibilities • Lead and grow the team: hiring, performance, and the culture that keeps strong engineers doing their best work • Set technical direction and sequence the roadmap across prototyping, enterprise hardening, and platform investments, with PM and PMM • Partner with research to identify model capabilities worth productizing, and give research clear signal on the capability gaps blocking customer value • Stay close to customers, design partners, and the security community; turn what you learn into product bets and unblock the team on the ones that matter • Make architectural calls across agentic scanning pipelines, model orchestration, customer-facing surfaces, CI and source-control integrations, and the data infrastructure underneath • Raise velocity by removing bottlenecks and sharpening operating rhythms, while holding the bar on quality, security, and reliability • Coordinate with GTM, partnerships, and other product areas to land joint launches and ecosystem integrations • Grow the next layer of leadership on the team so it can take on more as the charter expands You may be a good fit if you • Have 8+ years of software engineering experience and 4+ years managing engineers, with ownership of a team's hiring, performance, and technical direction • Have shipped cybersecurity products in production (SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management, application security, threat detection, incident response, or security automation) • Have taken a team from prototype through first paying customers to scaled enterprise deployment • Are technical and hands-on: comfortable in design reviews and in the team's code • Have strong product instincts and a record of helping teams decide what to build, not just how • Communicate clearly across functions and keep research, product, GTM, and executive partners aligned through ambiguity • Treat direct customer contact as a primary input to your roadmap • Care deeply about Anthropic's mission and about developing AI responsibly and safely Strong candidates may also have experience with • Hands-on security expertise: application security, vulnerability research, reverse engineering, incident response, penetration testing, or detection engineering • Building products on LLMs, including agentic systems, evals, and prompt and model iteration loops • Strict data-handling environments (BYOC, CMEK, regulated industries, governments) • Both startup and enterprise-scale company experience • Working closely with research to translate capability into shipped product • Ecosystem partnerships and MCP, CI/CD, or source-control integrations The annual compensation range for this role is listed below. 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.
