About the role
- We are rebuilding risk management to operate as an engineering function, using automation, quantitative risk and AI-native platforms to enable decision making.
- The risks we assess span Anthropic's full security landscape, so the team needs breadth across domains and the judgment to go deep wherever a decision demands it.
- Security Risk, in deep partnership with Security Engineering, helps define the security program and shapes how investment and treatment decisions get made.
Responsibilities
- Enable leadership and partner teams to make risk-informed decisions. Take ambiguous risk questions, drive them to a documented decision, and communicate the quantitative and qualitative tradeoffs clearly
- Lead quantitative analysis of the company's top security risk scenarios using FAIR, calibrated estimation, and simulation, working with the engineers who own the systems and presenting results in terms leadership can act on
- Partner with Security Engineering to assess threat scenarios and control effectiveness so security investment is right-sized to actual risk and remediation is sequenced where it buys down the most risk
- Use AI and automation to scale risk analysis, and own the calibration and quality review that keep the outputs trustworthy
- Turn one-off analyses into reusable methods, templates, and training so risk analysis becomes increasingly self service for partner teams, and raise the analytical quality of the risk register
- Thrive in ambiguity. You frame a moving question into something analyzable, pick the depth that fits, and drive to a decision rather than a report
- We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications.
