Safeguards Enforcement Analyst, Ban Evasion & Recidivism

Details

Anthropic is seeking a Safeguards Enforcement Analyst to join the account abuse team and build and execute enforcement workflows that keep its products safe. The initial focus will be recidivism: detecting when banned actors return, linking accounts across identities, and closing important re-registration paths, including evasion of child-safety enforcement bans. The role may expand into broader areas of policy enforcement over time.

Responsibilities

• Investigate evasion clusters end to end, from individual appeals or signal anomalies to full linked actor networks.
• Convert individual findings into durable systemic controls and detection proposals.
• Operationalize re-registration controls for high-severity ban populations.
• Partner with Engineering and Data Science teams on account-linking signals to connect returning actors across identities.
• Build a recidivism measurement framework covering return frequency, detection speed, and the effectiveness of controls.
• Author playbooks for contractor-supported evasion review and perform quality assurance against a gold standard.
• Keep up to date with emerging AI policy enforcement best practices and apply them to decision-making and workflows.

Requirements

• Experience investigating ban evasion, multi-accounting, or repeat fraud actors on a platform with adversarial users.
• Fluency in SQL and comfort building analyses across large account and event datasets.
• Experience with fraud or identity-linking signals and an understanding of their precision and recall tradeoffs.
• Rigor regarding evidence standards and the asymmetric cost of false positives in severe-harm enforcement.
• A track record of turning one-off investigations into repeatable detection logic and policy.
• Strong written communication skills and experience producing clear briefs and recommendations for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Excellent judgment and the ability to collaborate while navigating rapidly evolving priorities and workstreams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience using payment or network risk signals in an enforcement context.
• Experience with child-safety or other high-severity integrity enforcement.
• Experience collaborating directly with detection engineering or data science teams on rule deployment.
• Deep interest in AI safety and responsible technology development.
• Experience writing effective prompts for generative AI systems in a content review or enforcement context.

Education And Experience

• Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
• Relevant field of study demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience.
• Required years of experience correlate with the internal job level requirements.

Compensation And Logistics

• Annual salary: $245,000–$285,000 USD.
• Remote-friendly role in the United States.
• Staff are currently expected to work from an Anthropic office at least 25% of the time; some roles may require more office time.
• Anthropic sponsors visas, although sponsorship is not guaranteed for every role or candidate.
• Anthropic offers competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and office space for collaboration.
