Safeguards Enforcement Analyst, Safety Evaluations

Anthropic's Safeguards team is responsible for enforcing policies, protecting users, and ensuring the platform is not misused. As a Safeguards Enforcement Analyst focused on Safety Evaluations, you will play a central role in ensuring models meet safety and policy standards before and after launch. You will run and monitor evaluations, drive mitigations when issues surface, coordinate the creation of new evals, and help build processes and documentation that allow the team to scale this work over time.

• Support model launch readiness by running evaluations, monitoring and interpreting results, and surfacing regressions or unexpected behavior changes to relevant stakeholders.
• Partner closely with policy and domain experts throughout the evaluation lifecycle—from identifying risks and scoping the right evaluation approach, to coordinating creation of new evals and ensuring existing ones remain current with evolving policies, threat vectors, and model capabilities.
• Work with cross-functional stakeholders to help manage evaluation outcomes, including interpreting results and driving mitigations where needed.
• Think strategically about eval quality to build processes and eval paradigms that keep evaluations unsaturated, high-signal, and insightful as models improve.
• Build out processes and frameworks for creating product-specific evaluations as Anthropic's product surface area expands.
• Help design and scope tooling improvements that accommodate evolving eval needs and expand self-serve eval creation and iteration for non-technical users.
• Write and maintain rigorous documentation for evaluation creation, execution, and interpretation as the team builds out eval tooling and processes.

• Have experience in trust and safety, content operations, policy enforcement, or a related operational role at a technology company.
• Thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments—you're energized rather than frustrated when the path forward isn't clearly defined and you need to figure it out as you go.
• Have experience building processes, workflows, or programs from scratch (zero-to-one work), not just maintaining existing ones.
• Have strong program management instincts, naturally creating structure around complex, multi-stakeholder efforts by tracking timelines, dependencies, and deliverables to keep work on track.
• Are eager to expand your technical toolkit, including adopting internal tools and AI-assisted workflows (e.g., Claude Code) to accelerate your work.
• Can manage multiple concurrent workstreams across different domain areas without losing track of details—strong prioritization and context-switching are essential when deadlines and priorities shift quickly.
• Are a strong generalist comfortable moving fluidly across different types of work and switching contexts throughout the day.
• Are comfortable making judgment calls with incomplete information and escalating appropriately when needed.
• Communicate clearly and concisely, both in writing and cross-functionally.

• Experience operating under tight, high-stakes timelines—such as product launch cycles, incident response, or regulatory deadlines—where information and priorities can shift with little notice.
• Experience coordinating across engineering, policy, and product teams to translate findings into concrete action.
• Experience building and maintaining SOPs, runbooks, and operational documentation in fast-changing environments.
• Proficiency with data tools (SQL, dashboards, spreadsheets) sufficient to maintain and improve workflows.
• Comfort working with sensitive content areas as part of eval creation or enforcement review responsibilities.

Annual Salary: $230,000—$270,000 USD. Anthropic offers competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
