Safeguards Enforcement Analyst, Age-Appropriate Design
About the role
As a Safeguards Enforcement Analyst on the user well-being team, you'll build and execute enforcement workflows that keep our products safe, with a focus on detecting and mitigating potential harm. Your initial focus will be on how Anthropic handles age. A core part of this work is making sure our consumer products reach the right audiences, including the detection signals, verification paths, and appeals workflows that keep underage users off surfaces not designed for them. Claude also reaches younger users through third-party developers building on our API, and you'll be the enforcement partner that sales and platform teams rely on when those customers need guidance on deploying age-appropriately.
This position may expand into broader areas of user well-being enforcement over time. Safety is core to our mission, and you'll help shape policy enforcement so that our users can safely interact with and build on top of our products in a harmless, helpful, and honest way.
Important context for this role: In this position you may be exposed to and engage with explicit content spanning a range of topics, including those of a sexual, violent, or psychologically disturbing nature. There is also an on-call responsibility across the Policy and Enforcement teams.
