Staff+ Software Engineer, Safeguards Data

About Anthropic 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. About the role We are looking for software engineers to help build safety and oversight mechanisms for our AI systems. As a software engineer on the Safeguards team, you will work to monitor models, prevent misuse, and support user well-being. This role focuses on the data foundations that make that work possible: the pipelines, stores, and governance controls that our detection, evaluation, and review systems are built on, deployed across AWS, GCP, and Azure. You will apply your technical skills to uphold our principles of safety, transparency, and oversight while enforcing our terms of service and acceptable use policies. The systems you build sit underneath decisions with real consequences for customers and for people affected by model misuse, and much of the data moving through them is sensitive. Correctness, retention discipline, and access control are core engineering requirements here rather than things bolted on afterward. You will also design for portability from the outset, because these systems run in customer-managed and third-party environments you do not fully control. Key responsibilities Build and operate the data platform that powers Safeguards, including ingestion and processing pipelines, warehouses and other data stores, and the schemas and interfaces that detection and review systems depend on Keep Safeguards systems running day to day and hold a high operational bar that serves both safety and customers, while reducing the manual effort needed to sustain it Own data governance and integrity,
