Responsibilities
Lead the Interventions team to develop and deploy safety systems that manage model outputs across all Anthropic surfaces. Drive cross-functional execution and own production reliability, including incident response and SLOs for compliance systems.
Requirements
Requires experience managing engineering teams shipping production ML or safety-enforcement systems with direct user impact. Candidates must be comfortable with high-stakes compliance systems and capable of driving complex tradeoffs between safety, UX, and cost.
Full job description
About 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
The Safeguards team is responsible for ensuring our models and products are developed and deployed safely. We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the Interventions team: the group responsible for what happens when a safety system fires. It owns the composable arsenal of systems that sit between our detection stack (classifiers and probes) and the user, across every Anthropic surface: 1P products, the API, and third-party clouds. This includes inline interventions for areas like bio, cyber, and acceptable usage as well as downstream areas like child safety and copyright. This team is responsible for ensuring that we evolve and drive the quality of our interventions to enable our products to grow safely.
Key responsibilities
Hands-on lead and grow a team of engineers; own roadmap, OKRs, and execution.
Drive cross-functional work with ML Infra, Research, Product, Policy, and Legal - and with cloud partners for 3P deployment.
Set the bar for when an intervention is good enough to ship - backed by measurement - and represent safety and product tradeoffs to leadership and external stakeholders.
Own production reliability for intervention and compliance systems: incident response, postmortems, SLOs, and the verification processes that prevent repeat incidents.
Minimum qualifications
Have managed engineering teams shipping production ML or safety-enforcement systems where the system's decisions directly affected users.
Have run high-stakes, compliance-adjacent production systems: comfortable with on-call, incidents, regulator-driven requirements, and building the process scaffolding that prevents recurrence.
Care about measurement: you've built (or insisted on) the evals that prove a system does what it claims, and you've killed things that didn't.
Can drive ambiguous, multi-stakeholder tradeoffs (safety vs UX vs latency vs cost) to a decision and own the outcome.
Care deeply about AI safety and want your team's work to be the reason advanced models can be deployed at all.
Preferred qualifications
Have worked in trust & safety, integrity, or abuse-prevention engineering at scale.
Experience with compliance-driven systems (child safety, copyright, age assurance) and the legal/policy interfaces they require.
Have shipped systems across multiple cloud providers and understand the parity/verification problems that creates.
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.
Annual Salary:
$405,000—$485,000 USD
Logistics
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.
How we're different
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.
