About the role

Done well, within a year we expect Mythos, Glasswing, and our vulnerability and exploit research to seem like a modest first step towards this vision.
The role is based in San Francisco, but we expect some travel at least to Washington DC.
As part of Anthropic's work on the frontier of cybersecurity, we are forming a new team focused on steering the world through the next generation of cybersecurity.

Hire and lead a world-class research team of AGI-pilled cybersecurity researchers and program managers
Design an AGI cybersecurity research program that aims to secure the world
Lead the team to execute on this research at the scale, speed, and quality of a frontier lab
Identify field partners - maintainers, researchers, companies, governments - to do joint projects with
Develop a strategy to publish and share research with the world for maximum impact
Building frameworks and tools that enable AI models to autonomously find and patch vulnerabilities using tens of trillions of tokens

Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

The Lead will be responsible for all components of this vision.
The lead will develop a compelling vision for a dramatically more secure future, and communicate it to the company, industry, researchers, and government.
Be responsible for Anthropic's overall defensive cybersecurity vision
Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

It is now clear that frontier AI models - Mythos and beyond - will have dramatic impacts on cybersecurity.
This team will research the impacts of advanced models, beyond Mythos, on security - and publish the research and build + deploy the defenses the world needs to navigate it smoothly.
We believe many parts of cybersecurity will need to be fundamentally reimagined for the age of powerful models.
This team is incubated with the highest priority within the Frontier Red Team, which studies the catastrophic risks and builds and advocates for defenses.
See our previous related work on Mythos, N-days, exploits, 0-day, and finding vulns in hardened codebase.
We also run Project Glasswing.

However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate.
But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We do sponsor visas!
