About the role

Security Risk Analyst role within Anthropic's Risk Engineering team focused on identifying, prioritizing, and driving treatment of security risks using quantitative methods, automation, and AI-native platforms to enable decision making and scalable risk analysis for leadership and partner teams.

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, presenting results in actionable terms for leadership
  • - 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
  • - Frame escalations and risk treatment decisions with a clear recommendation, an honest statement of uncertainty, and re-evaluation triggers, and pressure test those decisions with risk owners
  • - Shape the analysis and narrative behind leadership risk reviews, and help define risk appetite and risk metrics the organization should measure and why
  • - Use AI and automation to scale risk analysis, and own calibration and quality review that keep outputs trustworthy
  • - Turn one-off analyses into reusable methods, templates, and training to enable self-service risk analysis for partner teams and raise analytical quality of the risk register

Qualifications

  • - Have owned security or technology risk analysis end to end, qualitative and quantitative, and can point to a decision your output changed
  • - Hands-on FAIR-style quantification experience, including scenario decomposition, calibrated estimation, and Monte Carlo simulation in Python, R, or spreadsheet tooling
  • - Thrive in ambiguity, frame moving questions into analyzable work, and drive to a decision rather than a report
  • - Put defensible severity and likelihood on ambiguous problems, state uncertainty honestly, and adjust position with new evidence
  • - Have enough technical security depth to decompose an attack path with security engineers and be credible in the room
  • - Can compress a complex risk position into one paragraph for the CISO, defending it under scrutiny
  • - Use Claude or other LLMs as daily working tools and review model output critically
  • - Low ego, collaborative, and care about AI safety and security risk's role in it
