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

As a Safeguards Enforcement Analyst on the Child Safety team, you will be responsible for our child safety enforcement workflows, responsible for scaling, maintaining, and continuously improving the systems and processes we use to detect and respond to child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and child sexual exploitation material (CSEM) generated or facilitated through Anthropic's products.

This is a deeply operational role. You will serve as the central point of contact for those who conduct content review, managing day-to-day workflows, quality assurance, and escalation processes to ensure reviews are accurate, consistent, and conducted with appropriate support structures in place.

This work is essential to Anthropic's mission. Child safety is one of our highest-priority harm areas, and the person in this role will have a direct and meaningful impact on protecting children from AI-facilitated exploitation and abuse.

Important context for this role: In this position you will regularly be exposed to and engage with explicit content of a sexual nature involving minors, as well as content that may be violent or psychologically disturbing. Anthropic takes the wellbeing of team members working in this area seriously and provides access to wellness resources and support. Candidates should carefully consider this aspect of the role before applying.
