About this role

The Security Engineer - Threat Intel role at Anthropic involves tracking sophisticated adversaries and building operational defenses for a leading AI lab in New York, San Francisco, or Washington, DC with remote flexibility. This position is ideal for an experienced cyber threat intelligence practitioner who wants to turn raw indicators into proactive security outcomes.

Role Overview

Anthropic operates at the frontier of artificial intelligence development, drawing attention from advanced criminal networks and nation-state actors. The Threat Intelligence team operates within the Detection and Response department to anticipate threats and secure infrastructure. As a Security Engineer, the focus centers on producing actionable intelligence that directly informs security monitoring, threat hunting, and defensive strategies. This builder-oriented position offers substantial autonomy to design and implement intelligence pipelines within a collaborative environment.

Key Responsibilities

Research, monitor, and document threat actors and campaigns targeting artificial intelligence labs, cloud environments, and the technology sector.
Construct and maintain automated data pipelines to gather, enrich, and translate indicators of compromise into active detection mechanisms.
Conduct intelligence-driven threat hunts across cloud, endpoint, SaaS, and identity telemetry to uncover hidden risks.
Analyze malware, phishing infrastructure, and malicious tooling to extract behavioral patterns, indicators, and attribution details.
Collaborate closely with incident responders and detection engineers to convert intelligence data into immediate rules and hunting contexts.
Evaluate and triage incoming information from commercial feeds, open-source channels, government sources, and trusted partnerships.
Contribute to threat modeling exercises that guide enterprise security architecture and defensive investment decisions.
Cultivate and manage external intelligence-sharing relationships with industry peers, ISACs, and government agencies.

Requirements

Minimum of 5 years of hands-on professional experience in cyber threat intelligence, intrusion analysis, or threat hunting against sophisticated adversaries.
Demonstrated knowledge of advanced criminal or nation-state threat groups, including their tradecraft, infrastructure, and targeting methods.
Strong engineering capabilities, including production-quality coding in Python or similar languages to build automation and data pipelines.
Practical competency in malware analysis, log evaluation, and infrastructure examination using techniques like passive DNS and certificate pivoting.
Experience authoring detection logic using formats such as YARA, Sigma, or SIEM-native queries.
Excellent written communication skills capable of producing concise intelligence reports that drive action.
Existing professional network within the threat intelligence community with a background in bidirectional sharing.
Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field or an equivalent combination of education, training, and professional experience.
Ability to meet location-based hybrid policies requiring time in an office at least 25 percent of the time.

Nice to Have

Experience defending cloud-native, research-heavy environments utilizing AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, or machine learning infrastructure.
Prior work tracking state-sponsored adversaries where analysis directly shaped detection and incident response operations.
Familiarity with applying large language models or other artificial intelligence tools to accelerate intelligence workflows.
Public research contributions, open-source tool development, or conference speaking engagements in the cyber threat intelligence space.
