Job description
from Anthropic careersAbout Anthropic
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.
About the role
Safeguards Labs is a new team operating at the intersection of research and engineering, chartered to investigate novel safety methods that protect Claude and the people who use it. We prototype new approaches to safe models, usage safeguards, and production safety, pressure-testing ideas before they graduate into production systems run by our partner Safeguards teams.
We're hiring software engineers to partner with our research engineers and turn promising prototypes into reliable, production-grade safeguards. The team is small, so each engineer has substantial latitude over what they work on and high leverage on the team's direction.
Key responsibilities
-
Take research prototypes and harden them into production services that integrate with Anthropic's real-time safeguards path.
-
Build data and evaluation infrastructure that lets the team iterate on prototypes quickly and measure whether safeguards actually work, including in agentic settings.
-
Own deployment, monitoring, and reliability for systems Labs ships.
