About the role
Staff+ Software Engineer role on the Safeguards Review Tooling team at Anthropic, building internal investigation, review, and enforcement tooling and the platform layer to support Claude-assisted workflows and safety investigations across first-party and third-party surfaces.
Responsibilities
- Build investigation, review, and enforcement tooling for both first-party and third-party platform surfaces — including case queues, investigation views, decision and audit logging, and account-actioning workflows
- Develop the platform layer of reusable APIs, data storage, and backend services that lets new review workflows be stood up quickly and safely
- Stand up and run deployments of this tooling across multiple clouds, including inside cloud-provider partner environments where data must stay in place. Keep the deployments consistent through shared deployment pipelines, smoke tests, observability, and alerting
- Scale review through automation, including enabling reviewers to use Claude effectively and building toward Claude-assisted and Claude-driven review workflows
- Partner with policy, operations, legal, privacy, and data science stakeholders to translate enforcement and investigation needs into reliable, well-designed systems that measurably reduce handling time and decision error
- Instrument the tools you ship — surfacing metrics on queue health, reviewer throughput, and decision quality — and ensure tooling evolves alongside new privacy primitives and data retention commitments
Qualifications
- A technical background in full-stack or platform engineering, with the ability to engage deeply in architecture and design discussions
- Experience shipping internal tools or platforms with demanding operational users, and a track record of improving their workflows measurably
- Experience working cross-functionally with non-engineering partners such as operations, policy, or legal teams
- Excellent communication skills, including the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders
- Care about the societal impacts of AI and want your work to make powerful systems safer
