About the company - the company'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 the company's Safeguards organization builds the systems that keep Claude safe to use at scale. The Account Compromise team owns one specific slice of that work: protecting the people and organizations who use Claude from losing control of their accounts, and preventing compromised accounts and credentials from being used to abuse our platform. Account takeover, credential stuffing, phishing-driven session theft, leaked API keys, and resold access all cause real harm - to the customers whose accounts are hijacked, and to the wider ecosystem when stolen access is used to route abusive traffic through legitimate accounts. We are looking for a staff+ engineer to set the technical direction for this work. You will own the architecture of how we detect, contain, and remediate account compromise across Claude and the Claude Developer Platform, making the design decisions that other engineers and teams build on top of. You will move between deep technical work and adversarial problem-solving: threat modelling how attackers will adapt, scoping multi-month projects from ambiguous starting points, and leading complex live investigations when they escalate. This is a hard problem space. Attackers iterate quickly, the signals separating a compromised account from an unusual but legitimate one are subtle, and every defence carries a cost to real users if it fires incorrectly. You will be building the playbook, and the judgement calls about where to draw those lines will largely be yours to make and defend. You will operate with high autonomy - owning detection coverage and incident leadership, driving alignment with Security, Product, and Policy teams, and shaping how the company approaches this problem globally rather than executing against someone else's roadmap. Key responsibilities Set the technical direction and own the architecture for account compromise detection, response, and remediation across Claude and the Claude Developer Platform Independently scope and lead complex, multi-month engineering projects from an ambiguous starting point through to production systems that operate reliably under adversarial pressure Build and evolve detection systems that identify account takeover, credential abuse, and compromised API keys in near real time Design automated response flows that cut off attacker access while minimising disruption to legitimate users Lead investigations into significant compromise incidents end to end, then convert what you learn into durable, automated defences Threat model how attackers are likely to adapt, and prioritise the team's work against that view rather than only against incidents already observed Drive cross-organisational alignment on account security direction with Security, Product, Support, Policy and other partners. Define how the team measures success and hold the work to those measures Set technical standards for the domain and raise the bar for other engineers through code review, design review, and mentorship Surface patterns from compromise cases to research and product teams so that protections improve upstream Minimum qualifications 10 + years experience designing, building, and operating detection, anti-fraud, anti-abuse, or security systems in production A track record of independently scoping and delivering complex, ambiguous, multi-month technical projects Experience making architectural decisions in an adversarial domain that other engineers and teams then build on Proficiency in Python and SQL, with strong software engineering fundamentals and hands-on coding ability Experience leading investigations into account-based abuse or security incidents, and translating findings into automated detection Ability to reason rigorously about large behavioural or telemetry datasets, and to distinguish attacker behaviour from unusual but legitimate use Strong written communication and a track record of driving alignment across multiple teams and stakeholders Sound judgement about the tradeoff between stopping bad actors and disrupting legitimate users, and the ability to explain and defend where you have drawn that line Preferred qualifications Significant engineering experience in trust and safety, platform integrity, fraud, or detection and response, including time as a technical lead or mentor Deep familiarity with account attack techniques Experience with authentication and identity systems, including OAuth, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, device binding, and risk-based authentication Experience applying machine learning to fraud or abuse detection, alongside a clear sense of when simpler rules-based approaches are the better choice Experience with cloud data tooling such as BigQuery, Spark, dbt, Airflow or similar Experience building tooling for operational or investigative teams, and partnering closely with the people who use it Interest in AI safety, and in the specific ways account compromise intersects with model misuse Representative projects - Design the architecture for real-time login risk scoring, and get agreement across Security, Product, and Safeguards on where step-up authentication should and should not fire Design detection for compromised API keys, together with security controls to limit exposure Rebuild product features to regain access quickly when customers get compromised Write the threat model that sets the team's roadmap for the next year, and bring the rest of the organisation along with it Instrument a false positive review loop that measures how often the team's defences affect legitimate users, and drive that number down The annual compensation range for this role is listed below. For sales roles, the range provided is the role's On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. Annual Salary: £325,000 - £390,000 GBP Logistics Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience 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 Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices. Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! 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 encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team. Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that the company recruiters only contact you email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of the company. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate the company recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links-visit the directly for confirmed position openings. How we're different - We're different We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At the company we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact - advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI - rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills. The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research.

The Arctic is a place of extremes: unforgiving, untamed, and undergoing rapid change. A literal defrosting reveals a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity spanning energy, defence, logistics, research, and infrastructure. ARD was founded on a paradox. The Arctic is both the next great economic frontier and one of the most hostile environments on Earth. Rich in resources and strategically vital, yet bone-chillingly cold, dark for months, and fundamentally inhospitable to humans. This paradox-an explosion of activity in a place that resists human presence-is why we exist. Our solution is autonomy. We build systems that operate reliably and intelligently in the Arctic, so that humans don't always have to. Founded by record-holding pioneers with decades of polar experience, we take calculated risks on hard problems that matter. If you want to build and deploy ground-up technology with real-world impact, at an inflection point in history that won't reappear, we'd like to talk. The role We're hiring our first Product Security Engineer. Security Engineering at ARD blends sharp technical skill, an attacker's mindset, and tangible real-world stakes. You'll operate across our entire hardware and software product suite - cloud infrastructure, applications, identity systems, and the autonomous products we field - spotting and cutting down the risks that actually matter. The systems we run and the data we hold call for a security approach that's thorough, flexible, and woven into everything we do.

The Arctic is a place of extremes: unforgiving, untamed, and undergoing rapid change. A literal defrosting reveals a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity spanning energy, defence, logistics, research, and infrastructure. ARD was founded on a paradox. The Arctic is both the next great economic frontier and one of the most hostile environments on Earth. Rich in resources and strategically vital, yet bone-chillingly cold, dark for months, and fundamentally inhospitable to humans. This paradox-an explosion of activity in a place that resists human presence-is why we exist. Our solution is autonomy. We build systems that operate reliably and intelligently in the Arctic, so that humans don't always have to. Founded by record-holding pioneers with decades of polar experience, we take calculated risks on hard problems that matter. If you want to build and deploy ground-up technology with real-world impact, at an inflection point in history that won't reappear, we'd like to talk. The role We're hiring our first Product Security Engineer. Security Engineering at ARD blends sharp technical skill, an attacker's mindset, and tangible real-world stakes. You'll operate across our entire hardware and software product suite - cloud infrastructure, applications, identity systems, and the autonomous products we field - spotting and cutting down the risks that actually matter. The systems we run and the data we hold call for a security approach that's thorough, flexible, and woven into everything we do. Your work will directly underpin the trust partners, customers, and the public place in us, while keeping our teams free to build and ship with confidence. Given how high the stakes are at ARD, this is core to delivering our mission the right way. CORE RESPONSIBILITIES Spot, evaluate, and rank security risks across our systems, products, and infrastructure - separating hypothetical worries from genuine threats to the business Build and roll out practical security controls across cloud platforms, applications, products, and data, and help engineering teams do likewise Build and use threat models to catch architectural weak points, trust boundary gaps, and failure modes before they turn into incidents Work alongside engineering, product, and operations teams as a trusted security partner - offering patterns, guidance, and guardrails rather than acting as a gatekeeper Play a part in detecting, investigating, and containing security incidents, and push for lasting fixes based on what we learn Cut down on manual, reactive security work through automation, better tooling, and secure-by-default habits built into how we develop and run systems Apply technical rigour to assurance work like audits, certifications, and customer security reviews - making sure our controls hold up in practice, not just on paper WHAT WE VALUE Deep, hands-on skill in one or two security domains - application security, cloud security, identity and access management, cryptography, detection and response, or platform security - backed by real evidence of impact An instinct for trust boundaries, failure modes, blast radius, and attacker behaviour, rather than viewing vulnerabilities in isolation A knack for turning complex security risk into terms that land with engineers, product managers, and senior leadership alike, and for shaping outcomes through persuasion rather than title A risk-based approach - weighing decisions proportionately under uncertainty, and always asking whether the work cuts real risk rather than just checking a compliance box Comfort juggling multiple teams and technical domains at once without losing quality or judgement A history of finding gaps and pushing security fixes through to completion, even in messy or loosely defined problem spaces BONUS POINTS Time spent in or around regulated, high-assurance, or defence-adjacent settings where security demands are intricate and failure carries real weight Practical offensive security background - red teaming, penetration testing, or adversarial simulation - that shapes how you think about defensive design and threat modelling Awareness of security issues unique to AI or machine learning systems, such as model integrity, data pipeline security, or adversarial ML A hand in building security programmes at scale - security champions networks, secure development lifecycle tooling, or company-wide risk frameworks A background in cloud-native security engineering, especially across AWS, GCP, or Azure, spanning infrastructure-as-code, container security, and cloud identity patterns Some exposure to supply chain security issues, such as dependency management, build pipeline integrity, or third-party component assurance Experience working with classified data, government security frameworks, or cross-domain security requirements WHAT WE OFFER Competitive compensation Equity - meaningful options as an early employee at an early-stage company Real field exposure - travel to Arctic sites and Outposts when needed (genuinely, not as a gimmick) Mission-driven culture - focus on impact, not hours logged Small team, real ownership - what you build matters and ships A note on who we want to hear from We're building for one of the most demanding environments on Earth and we believe diverse teams build more resilient systems.
