Anthropic has posted a job opening for a head of national security sales, tasked with rebuilding the company's contracting relationship with US military and intelligence agencies. The move follows a Defense Department decision earlier this year that barred the company from federal contracting, a designation Anthropic is still contesting. A federal appeals panel is expected to rule soon on whether that ban was lawful, and OpenAI is hiring for similar roles.
