• Have demonstrated proficiency in SQL and Python for data analysis and threat detection
• Have experience with threat actor profiling and utilizing threat intelligence frameworks
• Have hands-on experience with large language models and understanding of how AI technology could be misused for CBRN-E threats
• Have excellent stakeholder management skills and ability to work with diverse teams including researchers, policy experts, legal teams, and external partners
• Can present analytical work to both technical and non-technical audiences, including government stakeholders and senior leadership

Also a plus

• Experience building and scaling threat detection systems or abuse monitoring programs
• Active Top Secret security clearance

What the job covers

• Detect and investigate attempts to misuse Anthropic's AI systems for developing, enhancing, or disseminating CBRN-E weapons, pathogens, toxins, or other threats to harm people, critical infrastructure, or the environment
• Conduct technical investigations using SQL, Python, and other tools to analyze large datasets, trace user behavior patterns, and uncover sophisticated CBRN-E threat actors
• Develop CBRN-E-specific detection capabilities, including abuse signals, tracking strategies, and detection methodologies tailored to dual-use research concerns
• Create actionable intelligence reports on CBRN-E attack vectors, vulnerabilities, and threat actor TTPs leveraging AI systems
• Conduct cross-platform threat analysis grounded in real threat actor behavior, open-source research, and publicly reported programs
• Collaborate with policy and enforcement teams to make informed decisions about user violations and ensure appropriate mitigation actions
• Engage with external stakeholders including government agencies, regulatory bodies, scientific organizations, and biosecurity/chemical security research communities
• Inform safety-by-design strategies by forecasting how threat actors may leverage advances in AI technology for CBRN-E purposes
