As an Enforcement Analyst focused on Bio Harms, you will enforce Anthropic's Usage Policy to detect and mitigate bio risks, investigate potential violations, and strengthen safeguards. This role sits at the intersection of biosecurity threat analysis and platform enforcement, requiring fast, well-reasoned decisions on whether activity is benign research or a credible attempt at harm.

The role may involve exposure to explicit content and carries shared on-call responsibility.

  • Conduct thorough investigations and document evidence.
  • Partner with Engineering and Data Science to optimize detection models.
  • Partner with Policy and Threat Intelligence to assess risks and provide feedback on policy gaps.

Minimum qualifications

  • Degree in a bio-related field (e.g., microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, public health) and/or relevant professional experience.
  • Experience in Trust & Safety, content moderation, or policy enforcement at platform scale, including using generative AI tools.
  • Experience using AI tools to develop data dashboards for metrics collection.
  • Ability to analyze complex, ambiguous situations and make decisions under time pressure.
  • Proactive and self-directed with strong written communication.

Preferred qualifications

  • Subject matter expertise in biodefense, biosecurity, WMD/CBRNE non-proliferation, or threat intelligence.
  • Understanding of real-world biological risk, including adversary intent, acquisition, weaponization, and dual-use concerns, with familiarity in OSINT.
  • Proficiency in SQL and/or other data analysis tools.
  • Familiarity with DURC, select agents, and relevant policy frameworks.
