Technical Recruiter, Security

About the role

As Technical Recruiter, Security, you'll join the small team of recruiters who hire for Anthropic's Security organization. You'll own full lifecycle recruiting for a portfolio of roles across the Security organization, from intake through offer and close. You'll run structured intakes with security hiring managers, translating ambiguous needs into scoped requirements, calibrated bars, and search strategies. You'll build and maintain pipelines of specialized security talent, with an emphasis on passive candidates. You'll refine security interview loops, take-home assignments, and scorecards alongside hiring managers, your recruiting counterparts, and Recruiting Operations. You'll 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. You'll advise hiring managers with market data and candid calibration feedback, and influence decisions through credibility rather than volume. You'll partner with Compensation, People Partners, and Mobility to structure equitable offers and guide candidates to close. You'll handle sensitive role and candidate information with discretion, including for searches whose scope is confidential.

How We're Different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills. The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences. Come work with us!
