Job summary

Anthropic is seeking a Cybersecurity Specialist for its Applied AI team in San Francisco. You will partner with account teams to identify meaningful security work for Claude, serving as the security-domain advisor across strategic enterprise accounts and guiding deployments from discovery to production workloads.

You’ll build reference implementations, run hands-on workshops, and collaborate with Product, Research, and Engineering to translate customer security needs into actionable outcomes

Qualifications

• 5+ years in security roles with hands-on depth in at least two areas.
• Experience in a technical customer-facing role or security team engaging with leadership.
• Experience with large enterprise customers and complex, multi-stakeholder buying cycles.
• Ability to translate between security, engineering, and executives.

Responsibilities

• Join account teams to understand a customer’s security program, identify where Claude can do meaningful security work, and turn that into a technical plan and business case
• Serve as the security-domain technical advisor on strategic enterprise accounts, from discovery through deployment
• Move customers from one-time code scanning to sustained security workloads: application security in the SDLC, continuous automated penetration testing, alert triage and investigation, and threat intelligence that answers “does this new vulnerability affect us, and where”
• Build and maintain reference implementations, harnesses, and evaluation approaches, and help customers adapt them to their own environments and controls
• Run workshops and hands‑on sessions where customer security teams use Claude on their own code and workflows
• Equip partners to deliver Claude‑powered security outcomes, with a clear line between what Anthropic delivers and what partners deliver
• Speak credibly to every audience, from appsec engineers to CISOs and executives, including how to explain the value and risk of security work in business terms
• Define and track adoption depth for each security workload across your accounts, and work with Product and Engineering on the telemetry to measure it
• Write the playbooks and best practices the rest of the field can reuse, including how Claude complements the security tooling customers already own
• Develop reference customers who can speak to the value they’re realizing
• Stay current on frontier LLM capabilities and the new classes of vulnerabilities and attacks they surface
• Travel occasionally to customer sites for workshops and technical deep dives
