Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Design and execute cyber-relevant capability and safety evaluations to assess model risks and safeguard robustness. Collaborate with policy and engineering teams to develop detection architectures and translate evaluation findings into actionable security improvements.
Requires hands-on cybersecurity experience, proficiency in Python, and a background in building evaluations or test suites for software or ML systems. Candidates should possess strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with cross-functional stakeholders.
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.
We're hiring Cyber Evaluations Engineers to build and run the evaluations that measure cyber-relevant capabilities and safeguard robustness in our models. You'll design new evals, run per-release robustness testing, and dig into data on jailbreaks and prompt bypasses to understand where our safeguards hold up and where they don't. You'll also design many of the probes that detect cyber abuse in production and help shape the overall detection architecture alongside the policy team.
Design and run capability, uplift, and safety evaluations to assess cyber-relevant risk in new models
Execute per-release safeguard-robustness testing ahead of major model launches
Analyze evaluation results and communicate findings clearly to the team and to stakeholders
Design, prototype, and tune detection probes for cyber misuse
Work with the cyber policy team to turn policy lines into a layered, robust abuse-detection architecture, and measure its precision and coverage over time
Build and maintain internal tooling used to run and score evaluations
Collaborate with policy and engineering partners to translate eval findings into safeguard improvements
Experience building or running evaluations, benchmarks, or test suites for software or ML systems, including delivering results on short, fixed timelines
Hands-on cybersecurity experience (e.g., CTF participation, vulnerability research, exploit development, or security research)
Proficiency in Python
Strong ability to communicate evaluation results with multiple cross-functional stakeholders or potential policy stakeholders
Deep offensive-security or security-research experience, including experience building AI security benchmarks
Experience analyzing adversarial or abuse data (e.g., jailbreaks, prompt bypasses, intrusion or fraud telemetry)
Experience working onsite with government partners on testing or evaluation engagements
Experience with AI/ML evaluation frameworks
Familiarity with coordinated vulnerability disclosure practices
Experience testing pre-release or pre-deployment software or models under confidentiality constraints
Experience authoring detection content (e.g., Sigma, YARA, Suricata, SIEM rules) or building ML-based abuse detection
Active secret security clearance or higher, or eligibility to obtain one
The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.
For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.
We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
