Engineering Manager, Cybersecurity Products
Lead an engineering team building AI-powered cybersecurity products, focusing on prototyping, shipping, and scaling solutions. This role involves technical leadership, customer engagement, and architectural decisions across the full stack.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Lead and grow the team: hiring, performance, and the culture that keeps strong engineers doing their best work
- Stay close to customers, design partners, and the security community; turn what you learn into products and unblock the team on the ones that matter
- Own architectural decisions across the full stack, from agentic systems and model orchestration to product surfaces, integrations, and data infrastructure
- Coordinate with GTM, partnerships, and other product areas
- Grow the next layer of leadership on the team
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 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
Annual Salary:
$405,000—$485,000 USD
Logistics
- Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
- Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
- Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
