Safeguards Enforcement Analyst, Radiological & Nuclear Harms

Details

You will help protect 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 role combines radiological and nuclear threat analysis with platform enforcement. You will review real model interactions and determine whether activity represents benign research or a credible attempt at harm.

You will own and continuously improve enforcement monitoring workflows for this harm area and collaborate with Policy, Threat Intelligence, Data Science, and Engineering teams. The work directly supports protection against AI-facilitated weapons harm.

The role may involve exposure to explicit, violent, sexual, or psychologically disturbing content. It also includes shared on-call responsibilities across the Policy and Enforcement teams.

Responsibilities

• Enforce Usage Policies with a focus on detecting and mitigating radiological and nuclear risks.
• Own and improve end-to-end enforcement monitoring workflows, including detection, investigation, triage, and escalation.
• Monitor and analyze platform activity to identify emerging radiological and nuclear threat patterns within the broader CBRNE landscape.
• Design and architect scalable automated enforcement systems and review workflows while maintaining high accuracy.
• Investigate potential violations and gather and document evidence supporting enforcement decisions.
• 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.
• Work with Policy and Threat Intelligence teams to understand potential exploits and contribute to risk-assessment frameworks.
• Provide enforcement-grounded feedback on policy gaps and handle escalations and time-sensitive policy violations.

Requirements

• An undergraduate degree in a physics- or nuclear-related field, such as physics, nuclear engineering, health physics, or radiochemistry, or relevant professional experience.
• Experience in Trust & Safety, content moderation, or policy enforcement at platform scale.
• Experience working with generative AI tools to refine and optimize content review and enforcement workflows.
• Experience using AI tools to develop data dashboards for metrics collection and continuous improvement.
• Ability to analyze complex and ambiguous situations and make well-reasoned, defensible decisions under time pressure.
• Proactive and self-directed approach, including identifying trends and independently delivering improvements.
• Emotional resilience when working with potentially disturbing content over time.
• Clear written communication skills and the ability to explain technical radiological or nuclear concepts to technical and non-technical 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 risks, including adversary intent, special nuclear material and source acquisition, enrichment, and device pathways.
• Proficiency in SQL and/or other data analysis tools for analyzing large datasets and monitoring 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 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.
• Location-based hybrid policy: Staff are currently expected to be in one of the company's offices at least 25% of the time, although some roles may require more office time.
• Visa sponsorship is available, although sponsorship cannot be guaranteed for every role and candidate. Anthropic states that it will make every reasonable effort to obtain a visa and provides assistance from an immigration lawyer.

Anthropic offers competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and office space for collaboration.
