About Anthropic

Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that's working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. Backed by Accel, Bessemer and General Catalyst.

About the role

The Safeguards ML Inference Path team designs, builds, and operates the production infrastructure that powers Claude's ML based safety systems. We collaborate closely with safety researchers and inference engineers to bring new classifiers and novel classes of ML defenses to production. We own the research → production transfer of new safety technologies that is on the critical path for every Claude model launch.

What they're looking for

  • Have 5+ years of experience building production ML infrastructure, ideally in safety-critical domains like fraud detection, content moderation, or risk assessment
  • Working with large language models and modern transformer architectures
  • Developing monitoring and alerting systems for ML model performance and data drift
  • Experience in trust & safety, fraud prevention, or content moderation domains
  • Knowledge of privacy-preserving ML techniques and compliance requirements
