Safeguards Enforcement Analyst, User Well-being
About the role
As a Safeguards Analyst on the User Well-being team, you will be focused on supporting the design and deployment of mental health guardrails – iterating on detection systems, managing review queues, evaluating new interventions, and monitoring existing ones. Interventions range from steering how Claude responds in the conversation itself to in-product features that connect users to other resources. This work involves translating expert clinical guidance, internal data analyses, and legal or engineering constraints into concrete changes to how we detect, review, and respond.
This team covers a broad set of interconnected harms including suicide, self-harm, disordered eating, AI sycophancy, and emotional dependence on AI. 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.

Minimum qualifications
Experience in trust & safety, product policy, content moderation, or a related field, with direct exposure to mental health, suicide and self-harm, or related well-being harm areas

Experience translating policy definitions into measurable form — the rubrics, review guidelines, or classification criteria, whether applied by human reviewers or automated systems
Experience managing or coordinating content review operations, including quality assurance and workflow management
Proficiency in SQL and/or other data analysis tools to measure intervention efficacy, monitor workflow health, and surface policy gaps
