Anthropic’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.
As a Safeguards Enforcement Analyst on the user well-being team, you'll build and execute enforcement workflows that keep our products safe, with a focus on detecting and mitigating potential harm. Your initial focus will be on how Anthropic handles age. A core part of this work is making sure our consumer products reach the right audiences, including the detection signals, verification paths, and appeals workflows that keep underage users off surfaces not designed for them.
What you'd do
- Design and architect automated enforcement systems and review workflows that scale effectively while maintaining high accuracy
- Partner with Engineering and Data Science teams to optimize detection models for policy violations and automated enforcement systems
- Review flagged content to drive enforcement and policy improvements
- Enforce usage policies with a focus on detecting and mitigating potential harmful use of AI systems
- Work with Legal, Public Policy, and Privacy stakeholders to keep our age assurance approach proportionate, privacy-preserving, and responsive to an evolving regulatory landscape
- Support the Safeguards policy design team by providing detailed feedback on policy gaps based on real enforcement scenarios
- Keep up to date with emerging AI policy enforcement best practices, and use these to inform our decision-making and workflows
- Responsible for Anthropic's layered age assurance approach - self-declaration, behavioral signals, verification, and ban appeals - to keep our first-party consumer products safe
- Adjacent user well-being enforcement where age is a key factor in how policy is applied such as sexual content and illicit substances
What they want
- Experience in trust and safety, online child safety, age assurance, privacy, product policy, or a related field
- Subject matter expertise in one or more of: age assurance or age verification systems, age-appropriate design, child online safety, privacy-preserving verification methods, or content classification for young people
- Experience driving cross-functional initiatives with Product, Engineering, Legal, and Policy partners — especially where safety, privacy, and usability tradeoffs need to be navigated together
- Experience navigating evolving regulatory landscapes and enforcement best practices with regards to age assurance (including frameworks like the UK AADC, COPPA, and the DSA), CSAM/CSEM, NCII, and digital well-being
- A thoughtful perspective on the privacy/safety tradeoffs inherent in age verification — including when less invasive approaches are the right call
- Strong written communication skills, with experience producing clear briefs and recommendations for technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Comfort using data (SQL or similar tools) to measure what's working and inform decisions
- Excellent judgment and the ability to collaborate with team members while navigating rapidly evolving priorities and workstreams
