About Anthropic Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About The Role

: As an Applied AI Security Architect, you will serve as Anthropic's trusted security expert for our most demanding enterprise customers. You'll engage directly with CISOs, security architects, compliance officers, and technical leaders at the largest financial institutions, insurers, and other highly regulated enterprises across EMEA to address their most critical questions about deploying Claude safely and securely — including the security capabilities of our latest generations of Claude models. This is a pre-sales technical role focused on security, compliance, networking, and data architecture.

Your job is to walk into a room full of security professionals and demonstrate deep expertise in enterprise security, regulatory compliance, and data protection. Whether you've been a Security Architect, Solutions Architect, Field CTO, or senior pre-sales engineer, what matters is that you understand how large European institutions evaluate and adopt technology, and can speak credibly to their security and compliance concerns. This is a senior role: you will own our most complex and escalated security conversations in the region, often as the decisive technical voice in front of a CISO.

We are looking for someone excited to help define how European enterprises should think about security and compliance in the age of AI. How do MCP, autonomous agents, and RBAC work together? How do you deploy frontier models in line with GDPR, EU data residency, and the EU AI Act?

If working at the intersection of AI adoption and regulated industries excites you, this is the role for you.
