About Anthropic

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. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the role

Anthropic's Security organization protects the models, the infrastructure, and the people behind them, spanning platform and application security, detection and response, identity, compliance, corporate engineering and IT, insider risk, and physical security. The adversaries are well resourced, the assets are novel, and the consequences of getting it wrong extend beyond Anthropic.

As Technical Recruiter, Security, you'll join the small team of recruiters who hire for that organization, owning full lifecycle recruiting for your searches and partnering with security leaders to turn ambiguous needs into clear search strategies. Security professionals are among the most heavily recruited people in technology, and earning their attention takes real domain fluency rather than a template.

Key responsibilities

Own full lifecycle recruiting for a portfolio of roles across the Security organization, from intake through offer and close

Run structured intakes with security hiring managers, translating ambiguous needs into scoped requirements, calibrated bars, and search strategies

Build and maintain pipelines of specialized security talent, with an emphasis on passive candidates

Refine security interview loops, take-home assignments, and scorecards alongside hiring managers, your recruiting counterparts, and Recruiting Operations

Develop genuine domain fluency so you can hold a credible conversation with a detection engineer, a cryptographer, and a compliance lead in the same week

Advise hiring managers with market data and candid calibration feedback, and influence decisions through credibility rather than volume

Partner with Compensation, People Partners, and Mobility to structure equitable offers and guide candidates to close

Handle sensitive role and candidate information with discretion, including for searches whose scope is confidential

Minimum qualifications

Deep full lifecycle recruiting experience, with substantial time supporting security, infrastructure, or comparably technical engineering organizations

Ability to hold a substantive technical conversation about security domains such as application security, cloud and infrastructure security, detection and response, identity, or compliance, and to evaluate technical qualifications rather than match keywords

Proficiency with an applicant tracking system like Greenhouse and other modern sourcing tools

Experience partnering directly with hiring managers on intake, bar calibration, and interview loop design

Sound independent judgment on candidate quality, and the ability to independently partner with multiple hiring managers on complex searches

Genuine interest in Anthropic's mission and in the role a strong security function plays in achieving it

Preferred qualifications

Experience recruiting at a high-growth technology, AI, or machine learning company

Working knowledge of the security credential landscape and clear judgment about where those credentials carry signal and where they do not
