Safeguards Enforcement Analyst, Radiological & Nuclear Harms

Details

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 growing group of researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

This role focuses on protecting against the misuse of AI systems for radiological and nuclear harms by enforcing Usage Policy, detecting and mitigating risks, investigating potential violations, and strengthening safeguards. The position sits at the intersection of radiological and nuclear threat analysis and platform enforcement, requiring fast, well-reasoned judgments about whether activity is benign or a credible attempt at harm. The role may involve exposure to explicit, violent, or disturbing content and includes shared on-call responsibilities across Policy and Enforcement teams.

Responsibilities

• Enforce Usage Policies with a specific focus on detecting and mitigating potential radiological and nuclear risks.
• Own and continuously improve enforcement monitoring workflows for this harm area: detection, investigation, triage, and escalation.
• Monitor and analyze platform activity to identify emerging patterns related to radiological and nuclear threats (within the broader CBRNE landscape) that may require policy updates or interventions.
• Design and architect automated enforcement systems and review workflows that scale effectively while maintaining high accuracy across a technically complex content surface.
• Conduct thorough investigations of potential violations, gathering and documenting evidence to support enforcement decisions.
• Proactively surface trends and propose improvements to detection methods and review workflows.
• Partner with Engineering and Data Science teams to optimize detection models and automated enforcement systems for policy violations.
• Partner with Policy and Threat Intelligence teams to understand potential exploits and contribute to risk-assessment frameworks; handle escalations and time-sensitive situations related to radiological and nuclear policy violations.

Requirements

• Undergraduate degree in a physics- or nuclear-related field (e.g., physics, nuclear engineering, health physics, radiochemistry) and/or relevant professional experience in a related field.
• Experience in Trust & Safety, content moderation, or policy enforcement at platform scale, including working with generative AI tools to refine and optimize content review and enforcement workflows.
• Experience utilizing AI tools to develop data dashboards for metrics collection and continuous improvement efforts.
• Ability to analyze complex, ambiguous situations and make well-reasoned, defensible decisions under time pressure.
• Proactive and self-directed: able to spot trends, dig in, and ship improvements on own initiative.
• Emotional resilience when working with potentially disturbing content over time.
• Clear written communication and ability to translate technical radiological or nuclear concepts for diverse audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Subject matter expertise in radiological and nuclear defense, security, WMD/CBRNE non-proliferation, or threat-intelligence.
• Understanding of real-world radiological and nuclear risk vectors: adversary intent, special-nuclear-material and source acquisition, enrichment, and device pathways.
• Proficiency in SQL and/or other data analysis tools to draw insights from large datasets and monitor enforcement workflow health.
• Familiarity with IAEA safeguards, the NPT, special-nuclear-material and radioactive-source security, NNSA guidelines, and proliferation-pathway analysis.

Compensation

• Annual Salary: $245,000 - $285,000 USD

Logistics

• Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience.
• Location-based hybrid policy: currently expect staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time; some roles may require more time in office.
• Visa sponsorship: Anthropic states they do sponsor visas and retain an immigration lawyer to assist, though sponsorship cannot be guaranteed for every role/candidate.

Additional context

• The role includes on-call responsibilities and may expose you to explicit/violent/disturbing content.
• Anthropic values diverse perspectives and encourages applicants who may not meet every listed qualification to apply.
