About the role

We're looking for a Security Engineering Lead to own and drive Anthropic's Corporate Security program. This is a player-coach Tech Lead Manager (TLM) role: you'll be both the most senior technical individual contributor on corporate security and the people leader for a lean, high-impact team of Security Engineers. You will set the technical direction, write code and ship tooling alongside your team, and build the culture and processes that allow the team to scale. Corporate Security at Anthropic encompasses everything that protects our people, endpoints, networks, SaaS ecosystem, and corporate data-the full surface area outside of production infrastructure. The scope is broad and the team is deliberately small, which means you'll need deep technical skills across multiple domains, strong judgment about where to invest, and a bias toward automation and engineering-driven solutions over manual process. You'll report into Security leadership and partner closely with IT, Infrastructure Security, Detection & Response, and GRC teams. This role is high-visibility and high-autonomy: you'll be expected to define the roadmap, make architectural decisions, and represent Corporate Security across the company.

Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Hands-on Engineering

Own the security architecture, tooling, and controls for Anthropic's corporate environment end-to-end, including endpoint fleets (macOS, Windows, ChromeOS), campus and office networks, SaaS applications, mobile devices

Design, build, and ship security automation, integrations, and internal tooling-including leveraging Claude and LLMs to accelerate security workflows

Define and enforce security baselines, hardening standards, and configuration policies across all corporate platforms

Define what it means to operate safely in an environment where AI agents act more like humans than actual humans

Evaluate, determine, deploy, and operate corporate security tools (EDR/XDR, MDM, ZTNA, CASB/SSPM, email security, DLP, browser security, etc.)

Drive vulnerability management for corporate assets, including patch orchestration, risk-based prioritization, and exception management

Lead security reviews of new SaaS adoptions, corporate infrastructure changes, and IT projects

People Leadership & Team Building

Manage, mentor, and grow a purposefully lean team of Security Engineers; set clear expectations, run effective 1:1s, and create an environment where engineers do the best work of their careers

Hire and build the team as scope expands-own the hiring bar and pipeline for Corporate Security Engineering roles

Balance your own IC contributions with the team's needs; know when to go deep on a problem yourself and when to delegate and coach

Foster a culture of operational excellence, blameless incident review, and continuous improvement

Strategy & Cross-Functional Partnership

Define and own the Corporate Security roadmap, aligning investments to Anthropic's risk profile and growth trajectory

Partner with IT Operations to ensure security is embedded in endpoint provisioning, network design, and SaaS lifecycle management

Collaborate with Detection & Response on telemetry coverage, detection engineering, and incident handling for corporate-sourced events

Partner with Infrastructure and Security Engineering teams to ensure security standards are consistent across all of Anthropic

Communicate security posture, risks, and investment needs to Security leadership and cross-functional stakeholders clearly and persuasively

You may be a good fit if you:

Have 8+ years of Security Engineering experience in a corporate/enterprise security domain (endpoint security, network security, SaaS security, identity, or a combination)

Have 2+ years of experience managing or tech-leading a team of engineers, with a demonstrated track record of developing talent and shipping results through others

Are a strong engineer who still writes code regularly-you can prototype a tool, write a detection, build an integration, or debug a complex configuration issue

Have deep experience with macOS fleet security (this is our primary platform) and solid working knowledge of Windows and ChromeOS security

Have hands-on experience deploying and operating EDR/XDR, MDM, ZTNA/zero trust, and identity security solutions at scale

Understand modern SaaS security challenges: shadow IT, OAuth token sprawl, data exfiltration paths, SaaS-to-SaaS integrations, and SSPM/CASB tooling

Can work independently with high autonomy, manage ambiguity, and make sound risk-based prioritization decisions in a fast-paced environment

Have excellent communica
