Anthropic에서 AI 안전성을 책임질 Staff Software Engineer를 채용합니다. LLM 에이전트의 오남용 탐지 성능을 측정하는 평가 인프라를 구축하고, 실무 데이터 기반의 테스트 파이프라인을 설계하는 핵심 역할을 수행합니다. Python 숙련도와 데이터 파이프라인 구축 경험이 필수이며, 에이전트 평가 프레임워크 및 Trust & Safety 분야의 전문성을 갖춘 분을 찾습니다.
Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.
How do we know our safety systems actually catch misuse? Anthropic increasingly uses AI to investigate potential misuse of Claude — analyzing real-world traffic to surface bad actors, policy violations, and emerging threats. Its findings inform enforcement actions and model launch decisions, which means we need rigorous, trustworthy answers to questions like: Does the monitoring agent catch what it should? Where does it fail? Does it stay reliable as adversaries adapt, as models improve, and as the agent itself changes?
This role builds the evaluation infrastructure that answers those questions. You'll sit at the intersection of applied ML research and engineering — designing experiments to measure how well an investigative agent performs across harm areas, building datasets that represent real abuse rather than synthetic benchmarks, and shipping those methods into pipelines that gate every change to the system. Your work directly determines how much trust Anthropic can place in its automated abuse detection, and where we invest to make it better.
Build and own the evaluation harness for an agentic investigation system — defining metrics, test cases and grading approaches for a complex long horizon agent
Construct high-quality eval datasets representing real-world misuse across harm areas (e.g., cyber attacks, bio weapons, influence operations), drawing from real traffic patterns and synthetic generation
Measure agent performance end-to-end (detection precision/recall, investigation quality, robustness) and drive hill-climbing on the hardest harm areas
Analyze coverage to identify measurement gaps, and evolve evals so they remain unsaturated and high-signal as agent capabilities advance
Productionize successful research into regression and release pipelines that run on every agent change, prompt update, and underlying model upgrade
Build tooling that enables policy experts to author, run, and iterate on evaluations without engineering support
Construct RL environments to improve Claude’s safety investigation capabilities.
Proficiency in Python and comfort working across the stack
Experience building and maintaining data pipelines
Experience working with LLMs and a working understanding of their capabilities and failure modes — especially agentic systems with tool use and multi-step reasoning
Strong data analysis skills — you can draw reliable insights from large datasets
Ability to move fluidly between research prototyping and production-quality code
Ability to translate ambiguous problems into concrete, testable experiments
8+ years of industry software engineering experience
Expertise in building or contributing to agent evaluation frameworks, benchmarks, or automated grading systems
Extensive experience in trust and safety, content moderation, or abuse detection systems
Experience in red teaming, adversarial testing, or jailbreak research on AI systems
Experience with synthetic data generation or data augmentation
Experience with distributed systems or large-scale data processing
Experience with prompt engineering or building LLM-powered applications
The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.
For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
Annual Salary:
$320,000—$485,000 USD
Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.
We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer 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.
