Our team is a growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems. About the role
- Agent Security's mission is to safely increase how much of the world's work agents can do, starting inside .
- Claude now writes and ships code, runs experiments and acts on people's behalf, for hours at a time. How much more it can take on depends on how safely it can operate. If, in the worst case, an agent misbehaves, and the public may bear the consequences. Our mandate is to mitigate this risk, and ’s mission depends on it.
- The Partnerships team pairs security engineers with the teams at that build Claude, build agents and rely on agents. Those teams are our partners. When a team wants its agents to do more, we threat model the plan with them and build the controls together. Most of this has no playbook, so we have often created new controls from first principles. The ones that work become part of our toolbox, spread to other teams, and in some cases ship in our products.
- We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead this team of security engineers. This is first and foremost a people leadership role. Few have secured agents at scale, especially at a frontier lab, so we don't expect you to have done it. We do expect you to have led security engineering teams, and we care most about how you lead people and reason about security.
- This role operates at the frontier. Each model generation, and each new harness, brings new challenges. The number of teams building on agents keeps growing, and partner teams won't always agree with your calls. In return, you will have the chance to directly contribute to making transformative AI go well, which is the heart of our mission. Key responsibilities

- Set the team's investment strategy, deciding which teams get embedded engineers, and for how long, as demand outgrows the team
- Support the team through high-stakes safety and security calls made under uncertainty and on tight timelines
- Balance long-term investment in shared controls against partner teams’ immediate asks
- Deliver large security migrations across all of
- Work through difficult tradeoffs with partner teams in ways that build trust and understanding

- We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At 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 , including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
