We're seeking an exceptional engineer to join Anthropic's Detection Platform team to build and scale our next-generation security analytics infrastructure. In this role, you'll architect and implement data pipelines that process massive amounts of security telemetry, develop ML-powered detection systems, and create innovative solutions that leverage Claude to transform security operations.
Responsibilities:
Build AI-powered platform responsible for all aspects of D&R capabilities from detection development to incident response
Design and implement scalable data pipelines for ingesting and processing security telemetry across our rapidly growing infrastructure
Architect solutions for storing and efficiently querying large volumes of security-relevant data
Create rapid prototypes and proof-of-concepts for new security tooling and analytics capabilities
Work closely with security and infrastructure teams to understand requirements and deliver solutions
Mentor engineers and contribute to hiring and growth of the Security team
Participate in on-call shifts
You may be a good fit if you:
7+ years of experience in software engineering with a focus on security, infrastructure and/or data pipelines
