Engineering Manager (Safeguards)

• The Safeguards team is responsible for ensuring our models and products are developed and deployed safely
• We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Review Tooling team, which builds the systems that humans — and increasingly Claude — use to investigate potential harms and take enforcement actions across Anthropic’s first-party products and third-party cloud platforms
• This is a foundational role: you’ll own the tools our safety investigators rely on to understand what’s happening on our platforms and act on it, as well as the platform underneath those tools
• That platform includes analytics capabilities, privacy-preserving primitives that keep review workflows compatible with our data retention commitments, and a sandbox environment where new review interfaces and workflows can be built and iterated quickly
• As model capabilities and usage grow, you’ll also drive how we scale review through automation — building systems where Claude meaningfully extends what human reviewers can do, while keeping people in the loop where their judgment matters most
• You’ll partner closely with policy, operations, data science, and legal teams to ensure our enforcement systems are effective, accurate, and trustworthy
• Lead, grow, and develop a team of engineers building investigation, review, and enforcement tooling for both first-party and third-party platform surfaces
• Define the vision and roadmap for our review tooling platform, including analytics, privacy-compatible data access primitives, and a sandbox for rapidly developing new review interfaces
• Drive the team’s strategy for scaling 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
• Ensure review tooling evolves alongside new privacy primitives and data retention commitments, so reviewers can do their work without compromising user trust
• Create clarity for the team and stakeholders in an ambiguous and evolving environment
• Take an inclusive, equitable approach to hiring and coaching top technical talent, and maintain a high-performing team
• Contribute to engineering-wide initiatives as a member of Anthropic’s engineering management community
