About this role
Research Engineer, Safeguards Labs San Francisco, CA | New York City, NY About Anthropic Anthropic's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.

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 team Safeguards Labs is a new team operating at the intersection of research and engineering, chartered to investigate novel safety methods that protect Claude and the people who use it. We prototype new approaches to safe models, usage safeguards, and production safety - pressure-testing ideas through offline analysis and subsets of traffic before they graduate into production systems run by our partner Safeguards teams. Our work overlaps closely with account abuse, model behavior safeguards, and other safeguard subteams, and we serve as a research arm that can take on ambitious, ambiguous problems and turn them into deployed defenses. About the role We're hiring research engineers to define and execute the Labs research agenda. You'll scope your own projects, run experiments end-to-end, and decide when an idea is ready to hand off to a production team - or when to kill it and move on. The team is small and being built deliberately around a roughly 3:1 mix of researchers to software engineers, so each person has substantial latitude over what they work on and high leverage on the team's direction.
