In the posting’s own words

As a Safeguards Enforcement Analyst focused on Violence & Extremism, you will be responsible for building and executing operational workflows to assess model behavior, drive enforcement decisions, and develop evals across a technically demanding range of policy areas. Your work spans detecting and mitigating attempts to misuse Anthropic's AI systems to facilitate real-world harm, including weapons and dangerous technology, critical infrastructure attacks, violent extremism, and threats of violence.

What it asks for · 6

  • Experience in policy enforcement, threat intelligence, counterterrorism, government, or a closely related field, with direct exposure to harmful content, dangerous technology, violent extremism, or physical harm facilitation
  • Experience standing up and scaling policy enforcement or content review workflows
  • Proficiency in SQL and/or other data analysis tools to draw insights from large datasets and monitor enforcement workflow health
  • Experience identifying emerging risks and threat actors, and communicating findings to a diverse set of stakeholders, such as Product, Policy, Engineering, and Legal teams
  • Experience working with generative AI products, including writing effective prompts for content review and enforcement
  • Understanding of the challenges involved in implementing product policies at scale, including in the content moderation space

Also a plus

  • Subject matter expertise in one or more high-stakes harm areas, such as weapons and dangerous technology, violent extremism, terrorism, autonomous systems, or critical infrastructure protection
  • Familiarity with relevant legal and regulatory frameworks governing dangerous technology, critical infrastructure, or domestic/international terrorism
  • Experience developing evals or red-teaming AI systems, particularly for harmful content or policy enforcement use cases
  • Experience with threat actor profiling and threat intelligence frameworks (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK)
  • Experience tracking threat actors, extremist networks, or misuse patterns across surface, deep, and dark web environments
  • Experience with large language models and an understanding of how AI technology could provide meaningful uplift toward serious harm
  • Proficiency in Python for data analysis and workflow automation
  • Background in law enforcement, national security, defense, counterterrorism, or a relevant regulatory environment

What the job covers

  • Design and architect automated enforcement systems and review workflows that scale effectively while maintaining high accuracy
  • Develop and maintain evals that measure model performance on these policy areas, surface regressions, and inform policy and model improvements
  • Partner with Engineering and Data Science to optimize detection and automated enforcement systems for potential policy violations
  • Review flagged content to drive enforcement decisions and surface policy gaps, with particular attention to novel or technically sophisticated misuse attempts + emerging extremist movements, ideologies, and mobilization tactics
  • Support the Safeguards policy design team by providing structured feedback on policy gaps and enforcement ambiguities based on real enforcement scenarios
  • Develop and maintain enforcement guidelines and reviewer documentation that enable accurate, consistent enforcement across a wide range of content
  • Keep up to date with emerging threats, terrorist and extremist movements, regulatory changes, and AI policy enforcement best practices, and apply these to inform our workflows and evals
  • Identify and escalate emerging misuse patterns, novel attack vectors, and signs of coordinated violent extremist activity

How this page was made

An automated read of a public job posting, fetched August 25, 2026 and last changed by Anthropic on August 21, 2026. Every list above is pulled from the posting’s own sentences — nothing rewritten, nothing added, no judgment about the role or the company. Counts and seniority are read off the text by rule, so they can be wrong where the posting is unusual. The original is the only thing that binds. Openings close without warning; check the source before spending an evening on it.
