About Anthropic

Anthropic's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.

About the Role

Responsibilities:

• Develop monitoring systems to detect unwanted behaviours from our API partners and potentially take automated enforcement actions; surface these in internal dashboards to analysts for manual review

• Build abuse detection mechanisms and infrastructure

• Surface abuse patterns to our research teams to harden models at the training stage

• Build robust and reliable multi-layered defenses for real-time improvement of safety mechanisms that work at scale

You May Be a Good Fit If You:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or comparable experience

• 5-10+ years of experience in a software engineering position, preferably with a focus on integrity, spam, fraud, or abuse detection and mitigation

• Proficiency in Python and Typescript

• Ability to work across the stack

• Strong communication skills and ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

Strong Candidates May Also:

• Have experience building trust and safety detection mechanisms and intervention for AI/ML systems

• Have experience with prompt engineering, jailbreak attacks, and other adversarial inputs

• Have worked closely with operational teams to build custom internal tooling

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.

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.
