Engineering Manager, Safeguards Review Tooling

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

The Safeguards team is responsible for ensuring our models and products are developed and deployed safely. We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Review Tooling team, which builds the systems that humans — and increasingly Claude — use to investigate potential harms and take enforcement actions across Anthropic's first-party products and third-party cloud platforms.

What it asks for · 6

• Experience managing software engineering teams, including hiring, coaching, and developing engineers
• A technical background in full-stack or platform engineering, with the ability to engage deeply in architecture and design discussions
• Experience shipping internal tools or platforms with demanding operational users, and a track record of improving their workflows measurably
• Experience working cross-functionally with non-engineering partners such as operations, policy, or legal teams
• Excellent communication skills, including the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders
• Care about the societal impacts of AI and want your work to make powerful systems safer

Also a plus

• 4+ years of management experience, 10+ years of industry software engineering experience
• Experience building trust and safety, integrity, fraud, or abuse-prevention tooling, or other systems supporting human review at scale
• Experience designing systems under strict privacy, compliance, or data governance constraints, such as zero data retention environments
• Experience integrating LLMs or agentic systems into operational workflows, or building human-in-the-loop automation
• Experience building developer platforms or extensible tooling frameworks that other teams build on top of
• Experience supporting enforcement or moderation systems across multiple product surfaces, including enterprise or cloud platform contexts

What the job covers

• Lead, grow, and develop a team of engineers building investigation, review, and enforcement tooling for both first-party and third-party platform surfaces
• Define the vision and roadmap for our review tooling platform, including analytics, privacy-compatible data access primitives, and a sandbox for rapidly developing new review interfaces
• Drive the team's strategy for scaling review through automation, including enabling reviewers to use Claude effectively and building toward Claude-assisted and Claude-driven review workflows
• Partner with policy, operations, legal, privacy, and data science stakeholders to translate enforcement and investigation needs into reliable, well-designed systems
• Ensure review tooling evolves alongside new privacy primitives and data retention commitments, so reviewers can do their work without compromising user trust
• Create clarity for the team and stakeholders in an ambiguous and evolving environment
• Take an inclusive, equitable approach to hiring and coaching top technical talent, and maintain a high-performing team
• Contribute to engineering-wide initiatives as a member of Anthropic's engineering management community
