Job Description

AI Security Engineer, Anthropic COE

About the Role
As an AI Security Engineer, you will be the hands-on builder behind secure Claude deployments and Claude-powered security solutions. You will implement, configure, and harden Anthropic's Claude across enterprise environments; build and secure agentic workflows, tool integrations, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers; and write the code, automation, and integrations that turn AI security designs into working, production-ready capabilities. You will also engineer AI-enabled cybersecurity operations solutions on Claude, such as agentic vulnerability management, automated triage, and AI-assisted security testing. Working closely with AI Security Architects and client engineering teams, you will move quickly from proof of concept to production while contributing reusable code, accelerators, and technical expertise to Slalom's AI security offerings.

Key Responsibilities

• Claude Implementation & Hardening: Deploy and securely configure Claude Enterprise, Claude Code, the Claude API, and cloud-hosted Claude (Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI, Microsoft Azure), including SSO/SCIM, role-based access, workspace and admin controls, data retention, and audit logging.
• MCP & Tool Integration Engineering: Build, deploy, and secure MCP servers and tool integrations, implementing authentication, authorization, least-privilege permissioning, input/output validation, and secrets management.
• Agent Security Controls: Implement technical controls for Claude-based agents, including sandboxed execution, scoped credentials and agent identity, human-in-the-loop approvals, rate limiting, and policy enforcement.
• Agentic Security Solutions: Develop Claude-powered security automations using the Claude Agent SDK and MCP, such as agentic vulnerability management (discovery, prioritization, remediation guidance, and fix validation), alert triage, investigation, and threat intelligence enrichment.
• Security Tooling Integration: Integrate Claude-based solutions with vulnerability scanners, EDR, SIEM/SOAR, ticketing, source control, and CI/CD pipelines through APIs, webhooks, and infrastructure as code.
• AI Security Testing: Perform hands-on security testing of Claude-enabled applications and agents, including prompt injection, jailbreak, data leakage, and tool-abuse testing; build automated test harnesses and evaluations to validate guardrails.
• Logging, Monitoring & Detection: Instrument AI usage and agent activity with logging and telemetry, build detections and dashboards in SIEM platforms, and provide visibility into agent actions, tool calls, and connections.
• Secure Code & DevSecOps: Embed security into AI solution delivery through secure coding practices, code review (including Claude-assisted secure code review), dependency and supply chain scanning, and secured CI/CD pipelines.
• Cloud Security Foundations: Configure the underlying cloud infrastructure that hosts Claude solutions, including IAM, network controls, private connectivity, encryption, key management, and logging.
• Technical Delivery: Own hands-on build and implementation workstreams, troubleshoot issues, and translate reference architectures into working, documented, and supportable solutions.
• Pursuit Support: Build demos and proofs of concept, support technical scoping and estimates, and serve as a hands-on Anthropic and AI security expert in client workshops.
• Practice Development: Create reusable code, MCP connectors, deployment templates, and runbooks for Slalom's AI security offerings; stay current on new Claude capabilities and collaborate with Anthropic partner teams.
• Mentorship: Coach and upskill consultants on Claude engineering, secure agent development, and AI security testing.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Cybersecurity, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years of experience in security engineering, software engineering, or cloud security engineering, including 2+ years building or securing AI/LLM-based solutions.
• Hands-on experience deploying, configuring, and building with Anthropic's Claude (Claude Enterprise, Claude Code, Claude API, Claude Agent SDK, and/or Claude via Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI, or Microsoft Azure).
• Strong programming skills in Python and/or TypeScript, with experience building APIs, integrations, and automation.
• Hands-on experience building agentic AI workflows, MCP servers, tool/function calling, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
• Practical experience testing and mitigating AI-specific threats, including prompt injection, data exfiltration, excessive agency, and insecure tool use.
• Foundational knowledge of cloud infrastructure and security (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP), including IAM, networking, encryption, key management, and logging.
• Experience with security operations tooling and domains such as vulnerability management, SIEM/SOAR, EDR, or application security.
• Experience with Git, CI/CD, containers, and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform).
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to document technical work clearly and explain it to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience serving as a Forward Deployed Engineer and leading FDE teams strongly preferred

Preferred Skills

• Certifications such as AWS Certified Security - Specialty, Microsoft Azure Security Engineer, Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer, OSCP, CCSP, or CISSP.
• Experience building agentic security tooling (e.g., autonomous vulnerability remediation, AI-assisted triage, AI-assisted red teaming or penetration testing).
• Experience with LLM evaluation and red teaming tools and techniques for testing guardrails and agent behavior.
• Familiarity with the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, MITRE ATLAS, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001.
• Experience with AI security tooling for AI discovery, posture management, runtime protection, and agent inventory.
