Responsibilities
Build foundational threat intelligence capabilities, providing near-real-time actionable intelligence to Anthropic’s Security teams
Develop and deploy novel tooling to analyze and process wide range of indicators of compromise
Collaborate across the company to build comprehensive prevention, observability, and investigative capabilities throughout the intelligence lifecycle
Facilitate development of scalable, AI-leveraged solutions
Own all aspects of threat intelligence strategy, driving capability scaling and maturing the function over time
Produce strategic intelligence assessments for executive leadership on emerging threat actor campaigns, geopolitical developments, and industry targeting trends
Lead threat modeling initiatives that translate intelligence into concrete security architecture recommendations and defensive priorities
Build and maintain trusted external relationships with government agencies, ISACs, peer companies, and intelligence-sharing communities to ensure early warning of relevant threats
Partner with detection and response teams to operationalize intelligence into detection rules, hunting hypotheses, and incident response playbooks
Qualification
Required
15+ years building and maturing threat intelligence programs at large-scale companies
Expert-level understanding of threat actors, their techniques, and mitigative strategies
Experience operating in highly targeted environments — ideally with exposure to threats facing technology companies, defense industrial base, or critical infrastructure sectors
Immense industry connections - you must demonstrate deep partnerships with industry threat intel teams, especially those targeted by nation state actors - when peers get hacked, you know about it (and they give you the IOCs)
Trusted advisor at the executive level — you have a track record of briefing C-suites, board audit committees, or senior government officials, and you know how to translate threat intelligence into business risk language that drives investment and strategic decisions
Builder of high-performing teams — you've recruited, developed, and retained elite threat intelligence talent in a competitive market, and analysts you've mentored have gone on to lead programs elsewhere
Exceptional communicator — you can translate complex technical threats into clear, actionable briefings for executives and board members, and detailed technical guidance for engineers
Hands-on technical depth — you're comfortable diving into malware analysis, network forensics, or log analysis when needed, not just consuming finished intelligence
We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience
Benefits
Optional equity donation matching
Generous vacation and parental leave
Flexible working hours
A lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues
